Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. from solar PV) to convert carbon dioxide into liquid alcohol fuels. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Electrofuels.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. Several factors combine to make Puerto Rico an ideal place for solar power and microgrids.

Mayor Will Wynn is pushing a new version of the electric car called the plug-in , which runs almost entirely on electricity and has a big rechargeable battery. Austin Energy already got 6% of its power from wind, but wind production peaked at night, when electricity demand was low. But that's not all. Department of Energy.
