New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas

Green Car Congress

This marks a major step forward in the transportation and distribution of hydrogen as an energy source. If hydrogen is collected from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, there are no climate-damaging emissions. The two substances can be transported together in one line.

Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

Extracting energy from the wind causes climatic impacts that are small compared to current projections of 21 st century warming, but large compared to the effect of reducing US electricity emissions to zero with solar. They find that large-scale wind power generation would warm the Continental United States 0.24 degrees Celsius.

In Norway, Asko begins piloting use of hydrogen fuel-cell trucks

Green Car Congress

Electricity generated by solar panels installed across nine thousand square metres of roofing at Asko’s regional warehouse is being used to split water, producing emissions-free hydrogen fuel and oxygen. The aim here is not to use hydrogen for all goods transport. In addition to solar, Asko is a major industrial wind power producer.
