Bridging intermittency: with iron electrodes

We have to overcome the intermittent nature of renewables to master the energy transition. Harvesting renewable electricity is only part of the solution. Energy storage is another part and the main challenge of our time. Only with efficient storage solutions can big industries switch to renewables.<br/>Electricity storage is most efficient with...

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle as a Power Plant: Techno-Economic Scenario Analysis of a Renewable Integrated Transportation and Energy System for Smart Cities in Two Climates

Renewable, reliable, and affordable future power, heat, and transportation systems require efficient and versatile energy storage and distribution systems. If solar and wind electricity are the only renewable energy sources, what role can hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have in providing year-round 100% renewable, reliable, and...

Exploring the profit potential of energy storage in a car park using electrolysis, hydrogen storage and fuel cell electric vehicles

The Car Park as Power Plant (CPPP) is a main business concept related to a future integrated sustainable mobility and energy system in which hydrogen is a key energy carrier. In order to investigate the uncertain profitability of the CPPP concept, an optimisation model has been developed of a CPPP system that includes an electrolyser, a hydrogen...

Towards a hydrogen-driven society? Calculations and neutron scattering on potential hydrogen storage materials

For sustainable development, the resources of the earth need to be maintained and carbon dioxide emission should be avoided. In particular, we need to find an alternative for the use of fossil fuels in vehicles. Since long, hydrogen has been recognised as the fuel of the future because it exhausts only water when used in fuel cells and hardly...
