IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

It is not connected to the gas grid. We’re using cheap raw materials and don't need precious metals or other expensive components. It will also require less energy-guzzling transport of energy, whether it’s gas, oil, or electricity. The solar panel will be under test in Oud-Heverlee, a rural town in Flemish Brabant.

Nissan and Enel to launch major V2G trial in the UK; LEAF and e-NV200

Green Car Congress

The partners will install and connect 100 V2G units at locations agreed upon by private and fleet owners of the Nissan LEAF and e-NV200 electric van. Currently if all 18,000 Nissan electric vehicles in the UK were connected to the energy network, they would generate the equivalent output of a 180 MW power plant. Earlier post.)

SpaceX’s backup Dragon launch pad on track for 2023 debut

Teslarati

Richard Angle) SpaceX’s answer to the problem was about as simple, elegant, and cheap as possible. LC-40 will also need a swinging access arm to connect the tower to Dragon’s hatch. LC-40 has supported 9 launches in the last 8 weeks. That arm can also be constructed offsite, further reducing the amount of downtime required.

Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Developing cheap electrocatalysts and electrodes that can sustain seawater splitting without chloride corrosion could address the water scarcity issue. Water splitting with electricity—electrolysis—is a simple and old idea: a power source connects to two electrodes placed in water. to 1 A/cm 2 ) over 1,000 h.
