E.ON developing pilot hydrogen plant for storing wind power in the German gas grid

Green Car Congress

is developing a pilot plant in Falkenhagen in the north east of Germany to convert power from wind energy into hydrogen which can then be stored in the country’s gas grid. We need new storage capacities so that we can further increase the share of weather-dependent wind power in our generation portfolio in coming years.

AW-Energy entering green hydrogen market with wave energy device

Green Car Congress

In AW-Energy’s concept, wave energy complements solar power production to enable large-scale green hydrogen. The WaveRoller is a device that converts ocean wave energy to electricity. WaveRoller can maintain production through the night, avoid process shutdowns, supplement the seasonal changes and smooth sudden swings in power.
