Energy procurement is being shifted toward more sustainable sources, like biomass and solar power. In Japan, Nissan will increase the amount of renewable energy it buys from 5,200 MWh to four times that amount by fiscal year 2016 through the Power Producers and Suppliers (PPS) system.

The most promising path to exploiting hydrogen is to store the gas in a tank, as you would gasoline, then feed it into a fuel cell where it combines with oxygen to create an electric current, with water as a byproduct. All three automakers are part of larger business empires — called chaebol in South Korea and keiretsu in Japan.

Production is moving from a supplier in Japan to the Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., The plant also features one of the largest solar power generation systems in the state as well as several electric vehicle charging stations, allowing the facility to operate on a blend of renewable and conventional electricity.

One of the first places this theory has been tested is Japan. Japan has widely accepted EVs and was the first to put EVs to work during natural disasters. Japan is prone to thousands of tsunamis and earthquakes each year. It can recharge where the power supply has been restored, and then drive on to another hard-hit region.”

Here to talk about its so-called Powerfoyle solar cell technology is Exeger’s founder and CEO, Giovanni Fili. And if we could reduce or eliminate that problem, how would that actually influence the development of mobile and wearable tech beyond just not having to recharge as often? And the solar cell can take the shape.

Scientists from the Energy Technology Research Institute, AIST in Tsukuba, Japan, have developed a lithium-water electrochemical cell for the controlled generation of hydrogen and electricity. In other words, energy from the sun can be “stored” in the metal, and then be used on demand by reacting the lithium in the fuel cell.

Who, after all, hasn’t tired of having to plug in and unplug their phone and other rechargeable gizmos? Indeed, it’s hard to recharge or power a device when the air gap is just a few centimeters, much less a few meters. Indeed, efficiencies can exceed 70 percent, more than double that of a typical solar cell. It’s a nuisance.

2014 has been a year of rapid growth for the fuel cell market with positive progress being made globally, especially in markets such as US, UK, Germany, France and Japan. Myth #2: Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use. This level of investment is already poised to happen in at least three places: California, Germany and Japan.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. Battery recharging would typically take two to four hours, he said. While utilities such as E.ON
