Monash study on solar-driven electrolysis for green hydrogen production cautions on life-cycle emissions and EROI

Green Car Congress

of hydrogen is currently produced via water electrolysis and only a fraction of this production is powered by renewable energy. There is no immediate concern for copper resources, but the average ore grade is declining as higher grade deposits become exhausted. According to the IEA, less than 0.1%

How I turned a shipping container into a solar off-grid charging station with A/C

Baua Electric

Between my electric bikes, e-motorcycles, e-ATVs, electric tractors, and a few other things I’m probably forgetting, having a weather-sealed, solar-powered off-grid charging shed would be a big benefit. The panels I used are Pecron’s folding panels, which aren’t really meant for this type of long-term permanent installation.

The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

The hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to create water vapor, which the vehicle emits as harmless exhaust. energy grid supports an extensive network of EV charging stations, whereas hydrogen stations are less common. FCEVs produce zero emissions at the point of use—only water vapor is released. The existing U.S.
