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

Green Car Congress

A methanation plant expansion to the existing power-to-gas (PtG) facility in Falkenhagen, Germany has officially opened as part of the international €28-million (US$33.5-million) While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane.

Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

But that perspective doesn’t include all of the energy needs throughout the fuel’s life cycle. He looked at three different resources that forecast the future composition of the US electrical power grid. One was from the Energy Information Administration and two separate forecasts from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

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

Green Car Congress

Should the market demands for hydrogen fuel increase with the introduction of fuel cell electric vehicles, the US will need to produce and store large amounts of cost-effective hydrogen from domestic energy sources, such as natural gas, solar and wind, said Daniel Dedrick, Sandia hydrogen program manager. Lord, Peter H. Kobos, David J.

Role of Batteries in Clean Energy Transitions – ET Auto

Baua Electric

The Challenge of Intermittency and the Role of Batteries The transition to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is gaining momentum globally. For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand.

Smart Charging: How AI and IoT are Transforming EV Charging

Get Electric Vehicle

This not only helps users save on costs by avoiding peak energy periods but also aids in balancing the grid’s load and integrating more renewable energy sources. For instance, AI can schedule charging when there is a surplus of solar or wind energy available, leading to a more sustainable energy consumption pattern.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

One avenue to combat this crisis is a rapid reduction in carbon emissions from our daily transportation, one of the leading contributors of CO 2 emissions. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources.
