German power-to-gas facility opens green methanation plant; €28M STORE&GO project

Green Car Congress

A methanation plant expansion to the existing power-to-gas (PtG) facility in Falkenhagen, Germany has officially opened as part of the international €28-million (US$33.5-million) million) STORE&GO research project. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

With a growing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, two promising technologies have emerged as potential alternatives to internal combustion engines (ICE): Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). So why do we not see many HFCVs on our roads?
