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

Green Car Congress

For comparison, the US DOE’s 2020 target for the levelized cost of hydrogen (production only) is $2.30/kg. The joint research team designed an integrated system capable of adjusting the amount of battery charge/discharge and the amount of electrolysis hydrogen production in relation to the amount of solar power generated.

Baker Institute report: China has positioned itself as a gatekeeper to the energy transition; nickel case study

Green Car Congress

Widely ignored, although gaining attention, is China’s strategic positioning as a crucial gatekeeper to several key “green” technologies, including battery energy storage to support electric vehicles (EVs)—specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—along with stationary storage for power grids.

3 Oil Majors That Bet Big On Renewables

Green Car Congress

An analysis of near-term spending plans on renewables by the biggest oil and gas companies shows that real investments in renewable energy will continue to pale in comparison to capex plans for greenfield fossil fuel projects. Further, natural gas can be used to keep the power grid stable as solar and wind power fluctuate.

Tesla to Adapt Bi-Directional Chargers by 2025

Get Electric Vehicle

When an EV is plugged into a charger, it can give back energy to the power grid or any other required places during peak demand and only charge when the overall demand is lower.  They may take up a lot of clean energy produced by solar panels during the day and return it to the grid at night.

Electricity prices in comparison. To guarantee their supply commitments, they must secure their capacity with flexible power plants or with storage. This would create an energy market in which only the amount of electricity actually in demand is fed into the grid. Euro cents/kWh. Source: Siemens. Click to enlarge.

Geely invests in Carbon Recycling Intl.; vehicles fueled by methanol from CO2, water and renewable energy

Green Car Congress

Vulcanol is CRI’s brand name for renewable methanol, produced from CO 2 and hydrogen from renewable sources of electricity (hydro, geothermal, wind and solar). Their results showed that in comparison with gasoline mode, CO emitted in methanol mode decreased 11.2%. —Wang et al. Total carbonyls and formaldehyde increased by 39.5%

Electric Vehicle Project Ideas | Ph.D., MTech, MSc | Electrical, Management, Mechanical & More…

Get Electric Vehicle

Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. Advantages of V2G in grid perspective 2. are a few topics.
