Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

We have just 13 years to deliver a net-zero electricity grid for the UK. —Steve Scrimshaw, VP at Siemens Energy UK & Ireland and a member of the UK Government’s Hydrogen Advisory Council. The technology could then be scaled up for future markets, including industry, heat, and grid-scale power generation. million (US$1.8-million)

Stanford team increases power of corrosion-resistant solar cells; advance for solar fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford, with colleagues at University College Cork in Ireland, have shown how to increase the power of corrosion-resistant solar cells, setting a record for solar energy output under water. Instead of pumping electricity into the grid, the power these cells produce would be used in the production of solar fuels.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Most of the activity is in Europe , where there are at least 10 major offshore wind and hydrogen projects , including demonstration systems being built or planned in the North Sea, the Atlantic, and off the coast of Ireland. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years.

Charging piles will become standard in new buildings in the UK

Setec Powerr

Under the new law, all new homes built in the UK will require at least one “smart” charger, which must be able to switch on during off-peak hours when demand on the UK grid is lowest. For example, catalytic converters developed by Catagen Ltd in Northern Ireland have helped car manufacturers reduce emissions.
