Denmark awards €11M to dynamic green ammonia plant project by Skovgaard Invest, Vestas, and Haldor Topsoe

Green Car Congress

The project aims at building a 10 MW green ammonia plant directly coupled to local wind and solar power generation. The dynamic approach entails that the clean power from wind turbines and solar panels will be connected directly to the electrolysis unit making it more cost-effective than if involving a battery or hydrogen storage.

ABB delivers first urban battery storage solution in Denmark to support renewables

Green Car Congress

The battery storage solution will account for a significant part of the energy system, in which solar and wind energy will provide the majority of electricity production. The 630kW/460 kWh Battery Energy Storage System connected to main grid is capable of supplying electricity to 60 households for 24 hours.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Anaergia to supply CO2 to European Energy A/S for green e-methanol production as fuel for container ships

Green Car Congress

Once this gas is processed, Anaergia produces pipeline quality renewable natural gas (RNG) and a clean stream of carbon dioxide that normally gets released to the atmosphere. European Energy, a major multinational renewable wind and solar energy producer, will produce green e-methanol from this biogenic CO 2.

80x30: U.S. Clean Energy Standard Accelerates Transition to Renewables

Cars That Think

Joe Biden may have called for 100% clean power in the United States by 2035, but he didn't set a clear path to get there. Outlined in Democrats' proposed budget is a national "clean energy standard." This clean energy standard, or CES, would set up a tangible program that pushes utilities to shift towards net zero emissions.

Northvolt to build third gigafactory in Germany

Green Car Congress

The region hosts the cleanest energy grid in Germany, one which is characterized by a surplus of electricity generated by onshore and offshore wind power and reinforced by clean energy provided through grid interconnections to Denmark and Norway. It matters how we produce a battery cell.
