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.

Berkeley Lab leading investigation to quantify and characterize Salton Sea’s geothermal lithium resources

Green Car Congress

There are currently 11 commercial plants at the Salton Sea field producing geothermal energy, a process in which hot fluids are pumped up from deep underground and the heat is then converted to electricity. We’ll look at how quickly might you expect the resource to be regenerated—is it centuries? Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab).

Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

Green Hydrogen is sorted under pressure in cylinders within vehicles and converted into electricity to power electric motors. FCEVs utilise the stored Hydrogen and combine it with oxygen from the air to generate electricity. This electricity is then used to propel the vehicle’s electric motor and recharge its battery.
