Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.

California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

The case for using Power-to-Gas solutions to store renewable energy is compelling for a number of important use cases, according to a new white paper released by the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC). P2G converts electrical energy to chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. Click to enlarge.

U of Illinois team models capabilities of hybrid-electric propulsion systems for general aviation aircraft

Green Car Congress

Jet fuel and aviation gasoline are easy to store on an airplane. We’re harnessing only a small fraction of that energy but we currently don’t have electrical storage systems that can compete with that. They are compact and lightweight when compared to the amount of energy they provide.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To smooth out the intermittency of renewable energy production, low-cost electrical energy storage (EES) will become necessary. electricity) to hybrid and electrical vehicles, although the cost of implementing EES is of great concern.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Air can be turned into a liquid by cooling it to around -196 °C using standard industrial equipment; 700 liters of ambient air becomes about 1 liter of liquid air, which can then be stored in an unpressurised insulated vessel. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.
