New long-duration, extended capacity Na-Al battery design for grid storage

Green Car Congress

The new battery design could help ease integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid at lower cost, using Earth-abundant metals, according to a study just published in Energy Storage Materials. Compared with a seasonal battery, this new design is especially adept at short- to medium-term grid energy storage over 12 to 24 hours.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. It took us a long time to get the data needed to let us connect to the grid. In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%.

Rystad Energy expects strong growth in hydrogen pipelines through 2035

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen pipelines are already used to supply industrial hubs (at petrochemical plants for example). Europe, with its extensive gas grid, is well placed to make the jump. Mt of local supply with startup by 2030 (or only 2.1 Switching infrastructure from gas to hydrogen is possible and cost effective. Additionally, 3.4
