New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen is seen as playing a major role in establishing a CO 2 -free energy supply. If hydrogen is collected from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, there are no climate-damaging emissions. This marks a major step forward in the transportation and distribution of hydrogen as an energy source.

The Essential Guide to EV Smart Charging and Smart Energy Management

Driivz

The level of power supplied to chargers and energy utilization are visually displayed and can be adjusted according to EV and site requirements as well as constraints. This can also avoid penalties levied by the utility for over-stressing the grid and requiring the utility to purchase expensive power from the general capacity market.
