Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. 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.

3 Oil Majors That Bet Big On Renewables

Green Car Congress

Further, according to Rystad Energy, Big Oil is expected to pump in $166B into new oil and gas ventures over the next five years, thus dwarfing the currently specified outlay of just $18B (less than 10% of capex) for solar and wind energy projects. Good case in point: Italian multinational oil and gas giant Eni S.p.A. 2 Total SA.

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid.
