Hyundai is already testing Waste-to-Hydrogen in Indonesia. Waste-to-Hydrogen employs the fermentation of organic waste to generate biogas that’s treated to capture carbon dioxide and hydrogen, while Plastic-to-Hydrogen melts waste plastics that can’t be recycled, removing byproducts along the way and making hydrogen through gasification.

IEA states that cities that started adopting EVs early may also face electricity grid congestion as electricity infrastructure catches up to the new level of electricity demand. In countries like Brazil, India and Indonesia, the IEA report says fewer than 0.5% By 2030, EVs may account for 4% of total electricity demand worldwide.

Lithium-ion battery recycling took a big step forward this week, as a Hawaiian utility announced it is undertaking one of the biggest examples of grid-storage recycling in North America to date. By electric grid standards, Anahola’s 4-megawatt-hour storage facility is not big. So the idea is, buy it once and keep it here.”
