Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. The upshot is that a portion of the green electricity will have to be converted to other types of energy appropriate for specific applications.

Berkeley Lab team demonstrates high-rate, high-energy, long-life Li/S battery in the lab; looking for industry partners

Green Car Congress

This would require almost double the specific energy (about 200 Wh/kg) of current lithium-ion batteries. The batteries would also need to have at least 1,000, and preferably 1,500 charge-discharge cycles without showing a noticeable power or energy storage capacity loss. 2600 W·h/kg) than that of current lithium-ion cells (?
