LiNa Energy successfully demonstrates Na-ion technology for battery energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

Maintaining a narrow operating frequency is key to the electrical grid’s health, avoiding blackouts and generator trips. Traditional hydrocarbon-based sources of electrical generation provided inertia to the grid as turbines would spin synchronous with the grid frequency and generator trips would be buffered by momentum.

Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. One path to achieving this is with renewable synthetic fuels (e-fuels). Renewable synthetic fuels have long since left the basic research phase.
