Geely supporting Danish initiative on e-methanol with vehicle trials in Aalborg

Green Car Congress

Denmark has been a global leader in sustainability, and has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by 70% by 2030. While the country is one of the world’s largest producers of wind and solar renewable energy, it faces the issue of renewable energy being weather-dependent and prone to fluctuation.

AC Propulsion sends eBox EV to Denmark for V2G research focused on buffering intermittent renewable energy

Green Car Congress

AC Propulsion has delivered an AC Propulsion-powered eBox to the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where it will be used to evaluate Vehicle to Grid (V2G) operation as part of a research program. With V2G, for example, a fleet of EVs plugged in to the grid could balance the variable ups and downs of power generated from the wind.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways. Although currently there aren’t many bidirectional EV chargers out there, all contain internal converters. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Denmark is planning a hydrogen island designed to generate about 1 million tonnes of offshore hydrogen starting in 2030. In mid-2022, the International Renewable Energy Agency counted 32 countries that had adopted hydrogen strategies and 11 others that were preparing such plans. Conventional, or gray, hydrogen: $1.50
