Traditional methods of producing hydrogen without greenhouse gas emissions (green hydrogen) include electrolysis powered by renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydro. —Zach Broussard, Director of Gold H2 at Cemvita. According to recent studies, the global green hydrogen market size was valued at US$0.3 billion in 2020.

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. Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations.

The report goes on to model the impact of this on a global electricity system increasingly penetrated by low-cost wind and solar. Falling wind, solar and battery costs mean wind and solar are set to make up almost 40% of world electricity in 2040, up from 7% today, according to BNEF.

Natural gas generation made up much of the gap last year, as it has consistently in recent years, due to extremely cheap gas prices. Renewables played an important role as well thanks in part to continued cost declines in both wind and solar generation.

Online discussions convinced me, however, that this is the expected behavior when commanding a motor to maintain a fixed amperage in its windings (thus applying constant torque) while under little load. With the power setting fixed, the wheel would spin increasingly fast and the amperage drawn from the battery would steadily increase.

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions.
