Tesla Energy to be part of ‘change in U.S. generation portfolio’: DOE

Teslarati

Department of Energy (DOE), has released a report stating that U.S. commercial energy storage is expected to triple in capacity by 2025. According to the EIA’s report, initially reported by Reuters , the United States currently has 7.8GW of battery energy storage, which will be expanded to just over 30GW by 2025.

Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. Whether or not it’s more practical (or cleaner) than a similarly bio-based diesel or hydrogen fuel cell generator. Enter: the BioCharger.

Partners begin work on Energiepark Mainz; hydrogen from renewable sources; power-to-gas

Green Car Congress

The growing network of hydrogen filling stations for emission-free fuel cell-powered vehicles can also be supplied from Mainz by tank trailers. The project’s aim is to further develop and test innovative technologies for hydrogen electrolysis using renewable energy sources. This will probably happen even more often in the future.

Sandia study finds underground geologic storage of hydrogen could boost transportation, energy security

Green Car Congress

Geologic storage of hydrogen gas could make it economically possible to produce and distribute large quantities of hydrogen fuel for a growing fuel cell electric vehicle market. Such storage options, Dedrick said, are needed to realize the full potential of hydrogen for transportation.

131. ELECTRIFYING EVERYTHING IN THE 2020s

Qnovo

Electric utilities will implement more energy storage projects on their grids — partly driven by regulations as well as the proliferation of clean-energy grids with distributed wind and solar generation. Labor unions are taking notice but much training is needed for this new labor force.
