MOL joins “Wind Hunter Project” for combination of sails and fuel cells on ships

Green Car Congress

MOL) has joined a wide-ranging corporate-academic partnership in a zero-emission initiative called the “Wind Hunter Project,” seeking new applications for hydrogen fuel and wind power. The Wind Hunter Project combines wind propulsion sailing technology and wind energy converted to generate a stable supply of hydrogen.

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.

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. Click to enlarge. The variable output from a solar field is shown in Fig 2.

But the materials could show up sooner in a wide array of practical applications, including wind power, energy storage, and nuclear magnetic-resonance machines. Once the coil is charged, the energy can be stored nearly indefinitely with little to no decay, provided that the cooling is maintained. tesla magnetic field in 2014.

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

Baua Electric

It may only be a concept, but we could see units officially launch as early as the end of the year. Image provided by Jackery This is very much still a concept, with some big questions about the new Jackery rooftop solar tent remaining unanswered. How will it hold up against wind when fully popped out?

HIF Global, Porsche and Volkswagen Group unveil new direct air capture unit to be installed at eFuels plant in Chile in 2024

Green Car Congress

The Haru Oni facility is currently operating with biogenic CO 2 and hydrogen produced with the strong winds of the Magallanes region. Since then, we have extensively studied the concept with regard to suitable technologies and economic viability with international partners in the research and industrial sectors.
