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

Green Car Congress

The California Energy Commission (CEC) adopted a report establishing offshore wind goals and moving the state one step closer to development of the clean energy resource off California’s coast. Additional transmission infrastructure will be needed to deliver offshore wind energy from this region to the grid.

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

Green Car Congress

A study by a team of researchers from Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) and Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft has found that direct seawater splitting for hydrogen production has substantial drawbacks compared to conventional water splitting and offers almost no advantage. Additionally, H 2 O is needed for water splitting.

Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

The global transportation of ammonia by pipeline and bulk carrier is already a well-developed technology. This, they suggest in a paper in Joule , will emerge via three overlapping technology generations: Generation 1 is based on an expansion of current-day Haber-Bosch ammonia production using CO 2 sequestration or offsets.

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. Their hybrid technological and economic analysis is based on a detailed inventory of California’s power system. Gençer and Drake D. —Drake Hernandez.

UK awards £28M for 5 demonstration-phase low-carbon hydrogen production projects

Green Car Congress

The Dolphyn project showcases a floating semi-submersible design with an integrated wind turbine, PEM electrolysis and desalination facilities. The project concerns the production of hydrogen at scale from offshore floating wind in deep water locations. The project aims to reduce the cost of electrolytic hydrogen significantly.
