Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

Their journey began with a question posed by its founders, Tommi Eronen and Markku Ylönen, when they were university classmates: “Is it possible to build an energy-self-sufficient and cost-effective hippie commune for engineers using only solar power?” The intermittent nature of daylight and strong winds, however, is a stubborn problem.

Government comes to realize that Hydrogen is not the answer to home boiler replacement conundrum

EV Info

The hydrogen so produced is often referred to as “gray hydrogen,” to contrast it with the “brown hydrogen” made from coal gasification. it doesn’t make sense from a climate policy point of view to waste half, or more, of the green electricity for producing. Hydrogen can also be generated by electrolysis of water.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. References.
