STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab spin-off seeking to develop and commercialize a novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says. Once the hydride has been heated and the hydrogen driven off, the waste beads are moved to and stored in another lightweight plastic tank. Credit: ACS, Kurban et al. Click to enlarge.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

However, wind and solar generation is location specific, and it is not as simple as transmitting wind power from Scotland to power homes in London. But, if you look a specific areas in the UK, take London, the daily wind power output could be far lower, and therefore the need will not be 3-4 times, but far greater.

How Shipping Carbon Dioxide Could Boost Carbon Capture

Cars That Think

The Japanese shipbuilding giant joins a list of ambitious projects that plan to ship CO 2 from the power plants and factories where it’s emitted to sites where the gas can be used or permanently stored. Twenty-seven commercial CCUS projects are operational as of 2021, with another 108 in the pipeline.

aligned with the low-cost systems engineering and. If placed in a container that has a barrier to separate the two sides, the two streams of bubbles can be collected and stored, and used later to deliver power: for example, by feeding them into a fuel cell that combines them once again into water while delivering an electric current.
