DOE awards $2.7M to U Florida, Synhelion to support production of hydrogen from concentrated solar

Green Car Congress

The project aims to accelerate the large-scale development and deployment of concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) technology to produce green hydrogen for industrial decarbonization and electric power generation and storage. Redox materials are reactive materials that enable the chemical reactions in the reactor.

DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.

California Energy Commission adopts offshore wind goals: 5GW by 2030, 25 GW by 2045

Green Car Congress

Preliminary findings in the report set planning goals of 2,000-5,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind by 2030 and 25,000 MW (25 GW) by 2045, enough electricity to power 3.75 There are currently two federally-designated wind energy areas (WEAs) off the cost of California: Humboldt off the North Coast and Morro Bay off the Central Coast.
