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.

Blue World Technologies launches next-generation methanol fuel cell system for stationary power generation

Green Car Congress

The CellPack Stationary can also be adapted to other demands such as electric vehicle charging or power supply for low-quality- or off-grid installations. On the market for smaller gensets, we can make a significant difference now bringing down CO 2 emissions and air pollution. So, this is where we start, one generator at a time.

Energiepark Mainz comes online; hydrogen from wind power; Siemens 6MW electrolysis system

Green Car Congress

The energy park will produce hydrogen using electricity from neighboring wind parks. If this technology is adopted on a wide enough scale, it has the potential to significantly reduce traffic-related environmental pollution. Some of the hydrogen will also be fed into the natural gas grid for heating or power generation.
