These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage. When you ask people about cleaner energy, they think of electricity,” says Tommi Eronen, CEO of Polar Night Energy. Out of Finland’s energy-related emissions, 82 percent come from heating domestic buildings (Ref.

Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective.

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. In contrast, electricity produced by offshore wind power typically requires multiple conversions and transmission across long distances before it’s fed into the grid or an electrolyzer onshore, processes that siphon off power and reduce efficiency.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

As renewable energy capacity grows, the only way to drastically reduce coal in the electricity mix is by adding energy storage. Although some of the newer solar plants and wind farms are being set up with large amounts of battery storage, it could be decades before such investments have a significant impact.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

Are EVs really cleaner & greener choices? Smart charging technology allows us to align EV electricity consumption with renewable energy availability, which makes charging your EV even cleaner. However, the process of obtaining raw materials and manufacturing lithium-ion batteries does generate waste and harmful emissions.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
