Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants. Why all the hype about hydrogen?

California Energy Commission awards more than $1.8M additional funding to further UCSD microgrid project; energy storage, EV charging and V2G services are components

Green Car Congress

It provides a crucial real-life demonstration of technology that can help to provide California a future of clean, sustainable and reliable energy. The UCSD microgrid is a small-scale version of the traditional larger power grid; it is able to connect to the larger electric grid, but can also work independently.
