HyperSolar reaches 1.25 V for water-splitting with its self-contained low-cost photoelectrochemical nanosystem

Green Car Congress

volts (V) of water-splitting voltage with its novel low-cost electrolysis technology. Future development efforts will focus on increasing the currents and photovoltages beyond 1.5V. This lowers the system cost of what is essentially an electrolysis process. HyperSolar, Inc. announced that it had reached 1.25

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

BloombergNEF: solar, wind, batteries to attract $10T to 2050; curbing emissions long-term will require other technologies

Green Car Congress

Deep declines in wind, solar and battery technology costs will result in a grid nearly half-powered by the two fast-growing renewable energy sources by 2050, according to the latest projections from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Each year, NEO compares the costs of competing energy technologies through a levelized cost of energy analysis.

SOFC-maker Bloom Energy announces initial strategy for hydrogen market entry; partnership with SK

Green Car Congress

Bloom’s existing partnership with SK E&C has already sold 120 megawatts (MW) of fuel cells in South Korea, generating more than $1 billion in equipment and future services revenue for Bloom. Over time, it has improved the efficiency and aggressively reduced the cost of its products and expects this trend to continue.

GlobalData: hydrogen to become game changer as large-scale source of cleaner power

Green Car Congress

The technology has the capability to serve as a long-term, large-scale clean energy storage medium that aids power generation from renewable sources, however, formulating a cost-effective and well-regulated transition is a complex issue and the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources is currently expensive.

McMaster switched reluctance motor spinout Enedym closes $15M funding round

Green Car Congress

The Enedym team has developed a disruptive way to design electric motors at a fraction of the time and cost of existing methods. In a switched reluctance motor, torque is produced by the magnetic attraction of a steel rotor to stator electromagnets; there are no permanent magnets, and the rotor carries no windings.
