European HYFLEXPOWER project to demo first integrated power-to-X-to-power hydrogen gas turbine

Green Car Congress

The purpose of this project is to prove that hydrogen can be produced and stored from renewable electricity and then added up to 100% to the natural gas currently used with combined heat and power plants. Storing fluctuating renewable energy is one of the major challenges of the energy transition.

Honda and Ford separately launching smart home demos

Green Car Congress

The zero net energy home will generate, on average, more electricity from on-site renewable power sources than it will receive from its electric utility provider. Direct PV-to-vehicle DC battery charging will substantially improve charging efficiency by reducing losses associated with DC-to-AC and AC-to-DC conversion.
