Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Regardless of whether hydrogen or PtX products are being generated, the production islands won’t be directly connected to an onshore power grid, and so they’ll need to operate reliably on their own. And the world is going to need a lot more of it.

Gravity Batteries, Green Hydrogen, and a Thorium Reactor for China

Cars That Think

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Well, let's think. And nature ‘messed’ with that judgment.” She looked at a recent study out of the U.S.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

But, to solve the week-by-week or season-by-season variations with batteries is to follow the same route as a 100% wind and solar powered grid. Again, to scale battery storage to store the weeks and weeks of power needed to balance the grid in those situations would result in huge infrastructure requirements.

Georgia Tech team develops high-performance intermediate-temperature sold-oxide fuel cell

Green Car Congress

A team from Georgia Tech, with colleagues at the university of Kansas, has designed a high-performance solid-oxide fuel cell that operates directly on nearly dry (only ~3.5 vol% H 2 O) methane at 500 °C, demonstrating a peak power density of 0.37

Electric Car Manufacturers Inspire New Paradigms -- Seeking Alpha

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Several global indicators on the supply of oil and the known carbon pollution environmental damages its caused all lead us to find cleaner ways of transportation. The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. Depending upon where you live, power plants are often burning natural resources.
