Hydrogen Battery "Sponges" Store Solar for the Grid

Cars That Think

A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Dozens of solar farms in the country’s southeastern region are slated to use “ hydrogen batteries ” in coming years. All together they’ll represent a 300-megawatt solar installation.

KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

Bioscience engineers at KU Leuven have created a solar panel that produces hydrogen gas from moisture in the air. Twenty of these solar panels could provide electricity and heat for one family for an entire winter. A traditional solar panel converts between 18 to 20% of the solar energy into electricity.

Study finds direct seawater splitting has substantial drawbacks to conventional water splitting, offers almost no advantage

Green Car Congress

For the implementation of a sustainable energy economy, the greatest challenge is the weather-depending, fluctuating electricity production of wind and solar power plants. To store the green electricity in a highly scalable way, it must be converted into chemical energy.

Maire Tecnimont Group and NTPC to develop green methanol project in India

Green Car Congress

The Green Methanol Project involves capturing carbon from NTPC power plants and converting it into green fuel. Green hydrogen in Kawas is made by electrolysis of water using power from an already installed 1 MW floating solar project. It is considered as a substitute fuel for maritime fuel applications.
