The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored.

The energy is stored in the liquid metals that want to react with one another but can do so only by transferring ions across the electrolyte, which results in the flow of electric current out of the battery. Affordable grid-level energy storage is the linchpin for massive deployment of renewable energy on the electric power grid.

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. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods.

For a true “zero”-emission vessel, it is necessary to go beyond the emissions from the ship itself and account for the production of its fuel as well. A 500 MW wind farm could produce up to 10,000 tonnes of liquid hydrogen from surplus power it is unable to feed into the gird. Fuel cell system integration in the Viking Lady.

How and where can carbon dioxide be meaningfully captured, and how can it be stored, and where? And this is actually where now you have to spend most of your energy because now you have to reheat this mixture to separate the CO 2 and get a very high content CO 2 stream out that you can then store, and then you can reuse the amine.
