SoCalGas & UC Irvine show power-to-gas technology able to boost use of intermittent renewable energy significantly

Green Car Congress

Instead, the excess electricity can be used to make hydrogen that can be integrated into existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure and stored for later use. This study suggests that we could leverage that installed infrastructure for storage and significantly increase the amount of renewable power generation deployed in California.

What Does Battery Storage Mean for EV Drivers?

Blink Charging

In 2030, McKinsey estimates that there may be as many as 48 million EVs plugging into the US power grid, which means that utility providers are already preparing for the increased load. A BES system is a solution for businesses that want to store energy for later use. Here’s what battery storage means for you. until 11:00 p.m.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. In addition, for many uses, energy can’t be used the instant it’s generated but must be stored for hours or days and transferred across continents or even oceans, neither of which is currently economically or technologically feasible.

Better Carbon Sequestration With AI

Cars That Think

How and where can carbon dioxide be meaningfully captured, and how can it be stored, and where? And this is actually where now you have to spend most of your energy because now you have to reheat this mixture to separate the CO 2 and get a very high content CO 2 stream out that you can then store, and then you can reuse the amine.
