The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

These investments are one reason why the International Energy Agency (IEA) in September insisted that there’s still hope to hold global temperature rise to 1.5 °C Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility.

Shipping industry eyeing hydrogen fuel cells as possible pathway to emissions reduction; work by Germanischer Lloyd and DNV

Green Car Congress

The GL design concept proposes using wind energy to produce LH 2. A 500 MW wind farm could produce up to 10,000 tonnes of liquid hydrogen from surplus power it is unable to feed into the gird. The ship’s electric propulsion system therefore consume fuel cell power equivalently to power provided by the main generators.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

Moving Wind Power Offshore The offshore wind (OFW) industry is one of the most rapidly advancing sources of power around the world. It makes sense: Wind is stronger and more consistent over the open ocean than it is on land. Some wind farms are capable of powering 500,000 homes or more. and Norway.

ARPA-E awards $35M to 12 new projects to support medium-voltage devices for grid, industry and transportation

Green Car Congress

The 8 BREAKERS projects will work to develop new direct current (DC) devices to better manage power by eliminating electrical faults, improving efficiency and reaction times, and potentially enabling greater proliferation of energy storage and renewable resources. Eaton Corporation, DC Wide Bandgap Static Circuit Breaker – $3,760,000.
