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

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

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. 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.

California Energy Commission awards more than $1.8M additional funding to further UCSD microgrid project; energy storage, EV charging and V2G services are components

Green Car Congress

Decrease the ancillary services cost per additional MW of solar power on the grid by 50%, if the proposed forecasting model was used operationally. This will reduce the indirect cost of solar power to California ratepayers. Demonstrate that a DC-linked chargeport is more efficient than an AC-linked chargeport.
