Jackery shows off rooftop tent concept with collapsable 1,000W solar panels at CES 2024

Baua Electric

Jackery is making its first reveal of the year this weekend ahead of CES 2024, showing off a new rooftop tent kept that yields 1,000W of solar power. It may only be a concept, but we could see units officially launch as early as the end of the year. How will it hold up against wind when fully popped out?

To Store or Not to Store: That is the Question

Green Car Congress

Baseload energy is generated (coal, gas, nuclear) at a steady state and stored when not used, supplemented by flexible energy devices (hydro, solar, wind) for shoulder peak demand and stored energy for priority peak demand. Solar field annual output. The variable output from a solar field is shown in Fig 2.

Everfuel signs MOU for hydrogen supply to new zero-emission ship concept

Green Car Congress

In HySynergy a large-scale production of green hydrogen will demonstrate how fluctuating renewable energy sources can be converted and stored effectively to balance the time-difference between production and use of energy.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. 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. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

End of production for BMW i3; 250,000 units over 8 and a half years

Green Car Congress

The holistic concept for sustainability also includes the extensive use of renewable energy in the production of the BMW i3. Four wind turbines on the site of the BMW Group plant in Leipzig supply the electricity needed for its production. The BMW Group plant in Leipzig also has such an energy storage farm.

Berkeley Lab researchers advance hybrid bioinorganic approach to solar-to~chemicals conversion; 50% electrical-to-chemical, 10% solar-to-chemical efficiencies

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have hit a new milestone in their development of a hybrid bioinorganic system for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Carbohydrates are biomolecules that store the chemical energy used by living cells. Earlier post.)
