Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

The composite blocks can be made from low-cost and locally sourced materials, including the excavated soil at the construction site, but can also utilize waste materials such as mine tailings, coal combustion residuals (coal ash), and fiberglass from decommissioned wind turbine blades.

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.

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

However, this research finds that it reduces only a small fraction of carbon emissions, and it usually increases air pollution. Wind replacing fossil fuels always reduces air pollution and never has a capture equipment cost. Wind replacing fossil fuels always reduces air pollution and never has a capture equipment cost.
