IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. While there are many effective solutions for daily energy storage, the most common being batteries, a cost-effective long-term solution is still lacking.

Fraunhofer working on optimized methanol reformers to deliver hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Methanol reformers convert easy-to-transport methanol into hydrogen. Converting hydrogen into methanol can provide a solution, as not only is methanol much easier to transport than hydrogen, it can also be stored almost unlimited at ambient pressure. Transporting hydrogen can be a complex process. © Fraunhofer IMM.

Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

The result is renewable methanol, which can be converted into climate-friendly fuel using an MTG (Methanol To Gasoline) technology to be licensed and supported by ExxonMobil. Part of the e-Methanol will be converted to e-Gasoline (130,000 liters per year). —Christian Bruch, CEO Siemens Energy.

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

Green Car Congress

Preliminary research findings, announced this week at UCI’s International Colloquium on Environmentally Preferred Advanced Generation (ICEPAG), demonstrated that the campus microgrid could increase the portion of renewable energy it uses from 3.5% to 35% by implementing a power-to-gas strategy. to 35%.

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)
