GE unit invests with KGAL in 50-Mw Spanish concentrated solar power plant featuring molten salt energy storage

Green Car Congress

million in a 50-megawatt parabolic trough concentrated solar power plant using molten salt energy storage in Torre de Miguel Sesmero, Badajoz, Spain. The GE unit and KGAL agreed to invest structured equity in Extresol II, developed by Spain-based ACS, Europe’s largest developer, builder and operator of solar thermal power plants.

Fusion Fuel Green partners with CCC to develop green hydrogen demonstrator plants in Middle East

Green Car Congress

Still in its infancy as a commercially viable fuel, hydrogen produced sustainably by using renewable energy to power the electrolysis of water can provide vast quantities of clean fuel. Further, it allows Middle East producers to store and transport the other energy source that they have in abundance: sunlight.

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. Solar-thermal systems use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver, which contains a high-temperature fluid that stores heat. It's flexible.

Perspective: Europeans in the lead with range extenders for hybrid vehicles; 2nd vs. 3rd generation

Green Car Congress

All that is dependent on progressing from internal combustion engines not designed for this purpose to engines optimized for use in hybrid power trains. Such vehicles will have the substantial all-electric range demanded by users, having batteries storing more energy and plug-in capability. Second or third generation?

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. Countries that continue to burn coal should do so in high-efficiency power plants, he said. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.
