Raising the penetration of renewable —an intermittent—sources of energy into the grid will require large scale electrical energy storage and retrieval. We are suggesting a new approach where we stitch together biological and non-biological electrochemical engineering to create a new method to store energy.

In the co-production mode, the co-produced hydrogen is stored for use in a turbine-based hydrogen water power (H2WP) cycle with calculated hydrogen-to-electricity efficiency of 65-70%—comparable to fuel cell efficiencies. Similarly, in standalone hydrogen mode, pressurized hydrogen is produced at efficiencies approaching ~50%.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. This minimizes the battery capacity and as a result, the dead weight that an FCEV must carry is less than that of the BEVs.
