IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

Xcel Energy, INL to use nuclear energy for clean hydrogen production; HTSE

Green Car Congress

It offers a view of the energy structures of the future, which will integrate systems to maximize energy use, generator profitability and grid reliability all while minimizing carbon emissions. Industrial-grade hydrogen is commonly produced today by stripping it from natural gas molecules, emitting carbon monoxide in the process.

BNEF, Snam, IGU report finds global gas industry set to resume growth post-pandemic; low-carbon technologies for long-term growth

Green Car Congress

After growing by more than 2% in 2019, global gas use is set to fall by around 4% in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic reduces energy consumption across the global economies. The report shows that medium-term growth will come from increasing cost-competitiveness and increased global access to gas. Low-carbon gas.

Energiepark Mainz comes online; hydrogen from wind power; Siemens 6MW electrolysis system

Green Car Congress

The energy park will produce hydrogen using electricity from neighboring wind parks. If this technology is adopted on a wide enough scale, it has the potential to significantly reduce traffic-related environmental pollution. Some of the hydrogen will also be fed into the natural gas grid for heating or power generation.
