A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Dozens of solar farms in the country’s southeastern region are slated to use “ hydrogen batteries ” in coming years. All together they’ll represent a 300-megawatt solar installation.
