Highview Power and Encore Renewable Energy to co-develop the first long-duration, liquid-air energy storage system in US

Green Car Congress

Highview Power’s proprietary liquid air energy storage system, called CRYOBattery, relies on low-risk, proven technology, generates zero emissions, has zero water impact and can be delivered at a cost of approximately half of the current cost of traditional lithium-ion batteries.

New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Much recent research on batteries, including other work done by Cui’s research group, has focused on lithium-ion batteries, which have a high energy density; however, energy density really doesn’t matter for storage on the power grid. The researchers chose to use a water-based electrolyte. —Colin Wessells.

Opinion: Debunking the mythsWhy fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are viable for the mass market

Green Car Congress

In August 2014, Hyundai’s ix35 fuel cell model was driven a record distance for a hydrogen-powered production car on a single tank, covering 435 miles across three Scandinavian countries. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds.

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. Even if a battery-powered truck could handle the refinery’s 140,000-tonne loads, Kim says his company couldn’t afford to wait for batteries to recharge.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. The European Union’s net-zero scenario for 2050 already calls for an installed offshore wind capacity of about 450 gigawatts for power generation That’s where hydrogen comes into play. To meet such targets, it’ll be necessary to build, and build fast.
