Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Sweden’s Vattenfall is aiming to build an offshore, hydrogen-producing wind-turbine demonstrator in the same area. Conventional, or gray, hydrogen: $1.50

BMW’s “CO2 Champion” Performance Concept is a Plug-in Diesel Hybrid; 50 km/31 mile All-Electric Range; Thermo-electric Generator for Waste Heat Recovery

Green Car Congress

Connected to the regular European domestic power mains (220 V, 16 Amps), the system requires a maximum of 2½ hours to fully charge the lithium-polymer cells. Wherever a power source with higher voltage and amperage (380 V, 32 Amps) is available, the charge time is an even shorter 44 minutes at the very most.
