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

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Energies.

ANGI Energy Systems dispatches first hydrogen dispensers for Chart Industries’ transportable refuelers

Green Car Congress

ANGI Energy Systems, a Vontier business, has dispatched the first two of six hydrogen dispensers from its headquarters in Janesville, Wisconsin to Chart Industries. This transportable fuel station lowers the barrier to entry and is an ideal solution for small-to-medium sized fleets or for any immediate, interim, or permanent fueling needs.

Researchers store hydrogen fuel in salts

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Germany have developed a method to store and release highly pure hydrogen by the interconversion of readily available (bi)carbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring ?-amino amino acids. An open-access paper on their work is published in ACS Central Science.

Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

A Siemens Energy-led consortium has begun work in Newcastle, UK on a new ÂŁ3.5 It selectively filters the hydrogen while blocking other gases, allowing it to be used as a fuel and converted as needed, at the time of re-fueling. Ammonia has a high hydrogen density and is readily transportable in bulk. million (US$4.24
