Japan team evaluates battery-assisted low-cost hydrogen production from solar energy

Green Car Congress

The results from this study suggested a cost of hydrogen as low as ¥17 to ¥27/Nm 3 (US$0.16 - $0.25) using a combination of technologies and the achievement of ambitious individual cost targets for batteries, PV, and electrolyzers. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg Credit: NIMS. 2018.11.119 ).

TU/e introduces converted VW Lupo electric research vehicle; lightweight and longer range

Green Car Congress

The Lupo EL (“Electric Lightweight”)vehicle combines a very low weight (1,060 kg, 2,337 lbs) with a large battery pack (27 kWh). The Thundersky batteries use a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) chemistry, which has a comparatively low cost of less than €300/kWh (US$434/kWh), is considered safe and has a long cycle life.

DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

Research has shown that CO 2 can be converted to a variety of commodities, but because of the low energy state of CO 2 , the production costs would be prohibitive in many cases. However, they may be considered in order to establish a baseline for making comparisons with results from coal-derived flue gas.

H2Carrier receives AiP from DNV for P2XFloater floating hydrogen and ammonia facility

Green Car Congress

Low-cost electricity is the single most important factor for the production of all zero carbon energies and globally, there are significant unused and non-commercial renewable resources which can be developed by the P2XFloater. The renewable source can be either hydro power, sun or wind- or a combination of these.
