Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

He looked at three different resources that forecast the future composition of the US electrical power grid. From those, he learned of multiple plans for how the US could feasibly achieve a fully renewable grid by the year 2035. These might be a combination of solar arrays or wind turbines.

Baker Institute report: China has positioned itself as a gatekeeper to the energy transition; nickel case study

Green Car Congress

Widely ignored, although gaining attention, is China’s strategic positioning as a crucial gatekeeper to several key “green” technologies, including battery energy storage to support electric vehicles (EVs)—specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—along with stationary storage for power grids. Nickel is no exception.

Volkswagen introduces near-series design study of the MEB-based flexible quick charging station at Geneva

Green Car Congress

The Volkswagen Group Components brand will be showcasing the near-series design study of its flexible quick charging station at the Geneva Motor Show. Connected to the grid or even off-grid, the station can charge up to four electric cars simultaneously, based on the principle of a ‘power bank’, two with DC quick charging.

FREYR to collaborate with Honeywell on battery manufacturing, deploying energy storage solutions

Green Car Congress

The battery cells produced through this project can be utilized by “behind-the-meter” or industrial locations, as well as “front-of-the-meter” locations such as large solar and wind renewable power generation sites. Battery storage will play a crucial role as organizations transition to clean power generation.

UC Riverside study to evaluate best ways to achieve California’s 100% renewable energy target

Green Car Congress

State officials have approved requirements for the power grid to consist of 50% renewable energy by 2030. The study will examine the limitations of intermittent renewable options, such as wind and solar energy, which are only available at certain hours of the day.

Electric vs. Gasoline Cars: Uncovering the Real Climate Savior

The Truth About Cars

For instance, electricity generated from coal or natural gas is associated with higher carbon emissions, while renewable sources like wind or solar energy contribute negligible carbon pollution. The shift towards renewable energy sources further enhances the environmental benefits of EVs.
