DOE awarding $3.0M cost-share contract to FuelCell Energy for solid oxide electrolyzer; converting excess electricity to H2

Green Car Congress

is developing a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system to convert excess electricity during periods of low power demand into hydrogen efficiently. Annual global energy storage deployments are projected to increase to approximately 7 to 9 gigawatts by 2020 with continued increases thereafter. FuelCell Energy, Inc.

NREL releases comprehensive vision for deep decarbonization of transportation

Green Car Congress

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 50%–85% by 2050 to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius (four degrees Fahrenheit). In NREL’s bioenergy program, for example, we have chemists studying the fundamental chemistry of converting biomass and waste materials into fuel.

KIST team develops membrane reactor system to produce pure H2 from ammonia with high productivity

Green Car Congress

Although the need to build a global clean energy supply network has been noted worldwide, there are constraints when it comes to transporting renewable energy in the form of electricity across long distances. Hydrogen gas, however, cannot be transported in large amounts due to the limitations in the amount that can be stored per unit volume.
