Transcript Eliza Strickland: Technology to combat climate change got a big boost this year when the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act , which authorized more than 390 billion for spending on clean energy and climate change. One of the big winners was a technology called carbon capture and storage.

Energy storage solutions, such as batteries, pumped hydro storage, and thermal storage, play a crucial role in storing excess energy during peak production times for use during periods of low or no renewable energy generation. Integrating these sources helps mitigate climate change, reduce air pollution, and protect ecosystems.

The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has launched a new competition for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology to drive down costs by supporting practical experience in the design, construction and operation of commercial scale CCS ( CCS Commercialization Programme ) with £1 billion (US$1.6 Source: CCS Roadmap.

Sweden’s Vattenfall is aiming to build an offshore, hydrogen-producing wind-turbine demonstrator in the same area. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. To meet such targets, it’ll be necessary to build, and build fast. And if so, how, exactly?

With concern about climate change on the rise, interest in renewable energy sources is moving from the fringe to the mainstream. The Electric Power Research Institute , an industry group, has spent years researching and touting plug-ins, and supports efforts to use their batteries to store extra power. Department of Energy.

A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates, “hidden” costs of energy production and use—such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health—that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. Most commonly it is refined from conventional coal seam gas, often termed ‘natural gas’ to greenwash what it really is, in essence just methane found with other fossil-fuel deposits.

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. With the increasing threat of climate change, renewable energy has slowly but surely regained is prominence. Ultimately, charging electric vehicles with renewable energy creates a “one-two punch” against climate change.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The answer is that no such radical change will be necessary with the PHEV since it allows use of low demand time on the grid to recharge cars at a low power.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. An embryonic movement is growing in Europe to build “smart cities&# that will challenge the status quo.
