Air Liquide inaugurates HyBalance pilot site in Denmark for production of carbon-free hydrogen

Green Car Congress

In Denmark, Air Liquide inaugurated HyBalance, a pilot site for the production of carbon-free hydrogen. The facility uses electrolysis technology to balance the electricity grid and to store surplus electricity in the form of hydrogen that will be used in industry and transportation. The electrolyzer, with a capacity of 1.2

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Using built-in fuel cells, the device absorbed the lactate in the sweat and combined it with atmospheric oxygen to generate water and pyruvate. For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) volts for about 60 hours.
