MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. Currently, plants burning fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, fill in the gaps as peaker plants—a tendency that is likely to grow pari passu with VREs.

Argonne study finds rare earth supply disruptions can have long-range impacts

Green Car Congress

Disruptions to this supply can have wide-ranging consequences, but the understanding of how those disruptions play out in global markets is limited. China dominates the global rare earths market. Further, price and associated market responses such as production, capacity, and demand tended to extend beyond the disruption period.
