KIT team designs low-cost photoreactor for efficient solar-driven synthesis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and their Canadian partners have designed a low-cost photoreactor design for solar-driven synthesis. Until now, however, the technology has mainly been found in the laboratory because the costs of producing solar hydrogen were simply too high. 2023.05.006

Ford, Volkswagen, and GM Explore EV-Powered Houses

Cars That Think

These V2H/V2G-enabled vehicles offer some three to 10 days powering the fridge and lights in case the power goes down. In case of power outage at home, the DC pins in the charger can send juice back into the house, keeping the lights on. And that’s much cheaper than a new $1,300 kit.
