Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

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. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Successful trial of seabed polymetallic nodule collector suffers temporary stranding of robot on ocean floor

Green Car Congress

The nodule collection system consists of a collector head, jet water pumps and a collection drum, while sensors monitored the entire process. Furthermore, the deployment of clean energy technologies such as electric vehicle batteries and wind turbines will only widen the supply gap. They haven’t.
