For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand. These systems act as standby reserves, preventing energy waste by storing excess energy for future use or peak demand periods.

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

While this is only a temporary station for now, Nikola plans to make it more permanent in the future – paving the lot, building permanent pumps and so on. However, we say similar things with EVs – even if an EV is charged with full coal power , it’s still cleaner than a gas car, and as the grid cleans up, the EV cleans up too.
