A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. California draws more than 20% of its electricity from solar and approximately 7% from wind, with more VRE coming online rapidly. —Drake Hernandez.

The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) announced its latest round of seed grants to support early-stage innovative energy projects. They can thus be optimized for applications such as carbon capture, wastewater filtration, and natural gas storage, and for use in devices including fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, and solar cells.

In 2008, MIT chemists, led by Professor Dan Nocera, reported that a simple cobalt catalyst could split water at neutral pH to produce oxygen, protons and electrons. Researchers from UC Davis and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have uncovered more detail about the functioning of cobalt as a water-splitting catalyst. Earlier post.).

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Yes GM will lose $ on the Volt, just like the first Insights or Priuss, but unlike Toyota or Honda, they just cant afford to wait for it to catch on and become profitable. Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case.
