Bidirectional Charging Management (BCM) research project gets green light; tying in renewables

Green Car Congress

This will effectively turn the electric vehicles’ batteries into mobile energy storage devices that can also supply electricity when required. In this way, electricity from renewable sources can be tapped and stored as it becomes available. The project will enter its practical phase at the start of 2021.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Storing and moving hydrogen is challenging.
