Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.

Construction of the world’s largest project plant for storing green hydrogen in LOHC begins in Germany

Green Car Congress

The world’s largest plant for storing green hydrogen in liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) on an industrial scale is being built at CHEMPARK Dormagen. With the planned plant capacity, about 1,800 tonnes of hydrogen per year can be stored in LOHC.

JenaBatteries and BASF cooperate in the development of electrolyte for redox flow battery

Green Car Congress

RFBs use two liquid organic electrolytes separated by a membrane and stored in separate tanks. RFBs store electrical energy in chemical compounds. RFBs store electrical energy in chemical compounds. The ion exchange between the two energy-storing electrolytes takes place through a membrane in the galvanic cell.

LSBU researchers investigating metal hydride hydrogen storage for buses

Green Car Congress

Researchers from London South Bank University (LSBU), School of the Built Environment and Architecture, are investigating the use of metal hydrides to absorb, release and store hydrogen for fuel cell buses. Hydrogen is stored by reaction with a metal to form a hydride (exothermic reaction).

Revel, Fermata Energy, NineDot Energy launch first V2G system on NYC’s grid

Green Car Congress

Unlike conventional EV chargers, Fermata Energy’s V2X bidirectional charging system can both charge EVs and safely send some of that battery-stored power back to the grid, supporting grid resilience. The V2G system uses three Fermata Energy bidirectional chargers operating on a cloud-based platform.

IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future.
