Feature: Wind-Powered Cars: Are They Possible?

Clean Fleet Report

However, some automakers are exploring different forms of green energy—specifically, wind. Are wind-powered cars a possibility, or are they something that’s likely to stay in the realm of science fiction? The Potential of Wind Power. Wind today is primarily used to generate electric energy.

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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The key to this Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system is the placement of 30-meter-diameter hollow concrete spheres on the seafloor under the wind turbines. Earlier post.).

What Are Zero Emission Day and National Drive Electric Week?

Blink Charging

Wallace came up with the idea to give the earth one day free from fossil fuel emissions. In the EV world, there is a concept called “well to wheel emissions,” which considers fossil fuel emissions during the charging process depending on the electricity generation itself. Renewable energy sources accounted for about 21.5%

Daimler partnering to transfer its latest generation of automotive fuel cell technology to stationary applications

Green Car Congress

No other power technology can offer the high reliability, unlimited scalability, and renewable energy benefits without costly utility dependency like the fuel cell can. The novel concept of a “hydrogen-based” carbon-free data center utilizes hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers, storage, solar (photovoltaic) cells and wind turbines.
