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

Green Car Congress

Energy Vault’s advanced gravity energy storage solutions are based on the proven physics and mechanical engineering fundamentals of pumped hydroelectric energy storage, but replace water with custom-made composite blocks, or “mobile masses”, which do not lose storage capacity over time. barrel per ton of feedstock.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The hot air then flows back out of the vessel into a heat exchanger, where it heats water that is then circulated through building heating systems.

NETL publishes review of safety challenges of production, transportation and storage of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen can be extracted from different sources such as fossil fuels, biomass, waste plastics and water. In addition, the form of hydrogen stored may have a significant impact on safety issues with production and utilization technologies.

UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The money will help projects further develop their greenhouse gas removal technologies, which include a machine that can pull carbon dioxide out of the air, a plant to convert household waste into hydrogen for use in the transport industry, and a system to remove carbon dioxide from seawater. Lapwing Energy Limited, “Reverse Coal”.

MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

These structures would serve both as anchors to moor the floating turbines and as a means of storing the energy they produce. Geologic pumped hydroelectric storage works by pumping water to a reservoir behind a dam when electricity demand is low. When demand is high, the water is released through turbines that generate electricity.

Mercedes-Benz Cars plants in Germany to be supplied with CO2-neutral energy from 2022

Green Car Congress

Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. The production hall uses renewable energy and reduces water consumption and waste significantly. From 2022, the production of our Mercedes-Benz plants in Germany will operate CO 2 -neutral.

How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

Greenhouse gas emissions will certainly grow too, because India’s energy generation is dominated by fossil fuels—coal-fired power plants for electricity, coal- and gas-fired furnaces for industrial heating, liquid petroleum gas for cooking, and gasoline and diesel for transportation. costs less than fossil-fuel-based electricity.
