German power-to-gas facility opens green methanation plant; €28M STORE&GO project

Green Car Congress

million) STORE&GO research project. While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

EnerG2 nano-structured hard carbon boosts Li-ion anode capacity by >50% compared to standard graphite

Green Car Congress

These properties can be tailored and modified for adaptation to the specific requirements of a given energy storage application. The [nano-structured hard] carbon is able to store more than standard graphite (which is what the 50% is based on) because it has a disorganized amorphous structure. Aaron Feaver.
