IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. While there are many effective solutions for daily energy storage, the most common being batteries, a cost-effective long-term solution is still lacking.

ICL researchers develop new membrane-based system for cheap, efficiently made biofuels

Green Car Congress

Our new technology could help to drive down the cost of biofuels so that they eventually replace fossil fuels in transport and aviation—a much happier situation for the environment and one we are all working towards. —Kim et al. —Professor Andrew Livingston of Imperial’s Department of Chemical Engineering.

Cemvita demonstrates “gold hydrogen” production in situ, sets up subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Traditional methods of producing hydrogen without greenhouse gas emissions (green hydrogen) include electrolysis powered by renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydro. According to a report from S&P Global Commodity Insights, the cost of electrolytic hydrogen from renewable energy spiked as high as $16.80/kg

Lux Research: cost of electrofuels remains far from viable

Green Car Congress

Production costs per barrel of oil equivalent. The cost of electrofuels—fuels produced by catalyst-based systems for light capture, water electrolysis, and catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to liquid fuels—remains far away from viable, according to a new analysis by Lux Research.

Credit Suisse Predicts Renewable Energy That Is “Too Cheap To Meter” By 2025

CleanTechnica EVs

Credit Suisse says the Inflation Reduction Act will have such a tremendous impact on renewable energy that the US may see the levelized cost of electricity from renewable sources fall to less than 1 cent per kWh hour by 2025 after factoring in all tax and production credits. Now, before we get all gaga over […].

Chalmers team identifies two main challenges for bio-hydrocarbon fuel production from cheap sources

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources: lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories; and establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation.
