Torqueedo introduces 80 kWh cell-to-pack LFP option for marine batteries; doubles range

Green Car Congress

The new battery leverages lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and delivers 80 kWh of energy storage, twice the capacity of the previous generation of Deep Blue batteries. LFP is now even being used in electric cars, including standard-range Teslas. It was time to offer our Deep Blue customers a choice.

thyssenkrupp offering large-scale water electrolysis

Green Car Congress

thyssenkrupp recently introduced industrial-scale water electrolysis for large projects. By splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, this technology delivers “green” hydrogen, a clean, CO 2 -free energy carrier. The only inputs needed are water and renewable electricity from wind, hydro power or photovoltaics.
