Ørsted and partners secure funding for H2RES project; offshore wind power to produce renewable hydrogen for road transport

Green Car Congress

The plant will use electricity from offshore wind turbines to produce renewable hydrogen for buses, trucks and potentially taxis. Hydrogen is widely used in heavy industry in Europe, but it is mainly produced by converting fossil fuels in a process which emits large amounts of greenhouse gases.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. Conversion into liquid fuels would be advantageous because they have high energy density and are safe to store and transport. These could then be burned as needed.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. California draws more than 20% of its electricity from solar and approximately 7% from wind, with more VRE coming online rapidly. —Drake Hernandez.
