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

From those, he learned of multiple plans for how the US could feasibly achieve a fully renewable grid by the year 2035. As a part of the study, Ansell assumed the adoption of one of the NREL zero emissions electric grids—one that has heavy concentrations of solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.

This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power. The wind-to-gas pilot plant “WindGas Falkenhagen” was constructed in 2013 to store wind energy in the natural gas grid. All work was completed on schedule.

BMW Group plants stepping up activities in balancing-power market to contribute to grid stability

Green Car Congress

Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so.

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

Green Car Congress

Starting next year, the jointly developed pilot plant will produce major quantities of hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources, mostly from nearby wind power stations. This hydrogen can be stored, loaded into tank trailers or fed directly into the natural gas grid, for use in generating heat or electricity.

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.
