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.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Imagine this hopeful, and not impossible, energy scenario for the year 2040. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.

U of Melbourne team demonstrates direct hydrogen production from air; direct air electrolysis (DAE)

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Melbourne (Australia) have demonstrated a method of direct hydrogen production from air— in situ capture of freshwater from the atmosphere using hygroscopic electrolyte and subsequent electrolysis powered by solar or wind with a current density up to 574 mA cm ?2.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. California draws more than 20% of its electricity from solar and approximately 7% from wind, with more VRE coming online rapidly. Gençer and Drake D. —Drake Hernandez.
