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

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Japan’s NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science), the University of Tokyo and Hiroshima University have jointly conducted a techno-economic analysis for hydrogen production from photovoltaic power generation (PV) utilizing a battery-assisted electrolyzer. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg

Elon Musk’s Boring Company submits plans for 6.2-mile Loop system in Miami

Teslarati

Similar to The Boring Company’s other projects like the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, the cost of the Miami tunnels is quite attractive. The tunneling startup estimated that the proposed project would cost around $185-$220 million. Among these potential extensions is a 3-mile connection to Hard Rock Stadium, as well as a 1.8-mile
