New TOTAL hydrogen filling station in Karlsruhe produces H2 onsite with steam electrolysis and solar energy

Green Car Congress

This H 2 filling station—the eleventh in the TOTAL network and the tenth in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg—is differentiated by producing hydrogen on-site through steam electrolysis, using electricity generated by a solar array. It can also be reversed into fuel cell mode with an output power of 30 kW el.

DOE reports progress on development of low-carbon and renewable sources of hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The objective of the Hydrogen Production sub-program is to reduce the cost of hydrogen dispensed at the pump to a cost that is competitive on a cents-per-mile basis with competing vehicle technologies. Distributed production options under development include reforming of bio-derived renewable liquids and electrolysis of water.

France’s IFPEN studying industrial potential of onshore sources of natural hydrogen

Green Car Congress

In the future, hydrogen produced through water electrolysis is expected to be used to store energy as a way of compensating for solar or wind power’s intermittent output. In addition to being a carrier of energy, hydrogen could also be a source of energy, and its combustion would emit water (H 2 O) instead of CO 2.

Audi unveils e-gas project: synthetic methane from the methanation of green hydrogen; series production of CNG models in 2013 powered by e-gas

Green Car Congress

Although this methane is also known as synthetic natural gas, the company refers to it as Audi e-gas. Aided by polymer electrolyte membranes, the electrolyzer splits water into its components: hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ). g/mile), including all emissions created during construction of the wind turbines and the e-gas plant.

First drive: US spec Audi A3 Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid; 83-86 MPGe with 16-17 mile EV range

Green Car Congress

Although the EPA has not as of this writing released the final fuel economy numbers for the US A3 e-tron, Filip Brabec, Director, Product Management, Audi of America, said that the figures will be around 83 to 86 MPGe combined (depending on the equipment level), with 35 to 39 mpg gasoline only and 16-17 miles of EV range.

Theoretically, with renewable electricity, the 95 gCO 2 /km target could also be met by extended range electric vehicles with 40 miles all-electric range if 50% of driving is powered by the battery, or by fuel cell electric vehicles (FECVs), with hydrogen produced by water electrolysis.
