Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

Phil Ansell, an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, modeled the life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of liquid hydrogen production required to meet the fuel needs of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) with today’s electric grid mix.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable energy deployment. As we increasingly electrify our homes, transportation, and factories, utility companies’ choices about transmission will have huge consequences for the nation’s economy and well-being. Their grip over the backbone of U.S.

Rystad Energy expects strong growth in hydrogen pipelines through 2035

Green Car Congress

Today, more than 4,300 kilometers already exists for hydrogen transportation with more than 90% located in Europe and North America, the company notes. Europe, with its extensive gas grid, is well placed to make the jump. For this reason, the option to transport power onshore using power cables is excluded.

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.

US$105M WESTKÜSTE100 green hydrogen project receives funding approval from German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs

Green Car Congress

The partners plan to produce green hydrogen, transport it in the gas network, use it in industrial processes and to interlink different material cycles within the existing infrastructure. In a future stage, there are plans to supply a hydrogen filling station. We see the energy transition as a cross-sectoral endeavour.
