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.

Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

electricity provider National Grid faces a problem every time there is a soccer match on (or any other widely viewed televised event for that matter): During half-time, or a commercial break, an inordinate number of viewers go to turn on their tea kettles. In the U.K., In AI training , a similar phenomenon can occur every second.

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

Green Car Congress

This hydrogen can be stored, loaded into tank trailers or fed directly into the natural gas grid, for use in generating heat or electricity. This makes it possible to store electricity from renewable energy sources. This will probably happen even more often in the future.

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.

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.
