Fuel cells Instead of diesel generators: Does the green alternative pay off?
Around one billion people worldwide live without a reliable electricity connection. This meand that environmentally harmful diesel generators are therefore still a mainstay, particularly in the provision of local energy supplies. A new publication by NOW GmbH reveals the circumstances under which green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are potentially worthwhile as an environmentally friendly alternative in decentralised energy supply.
Results report for a joint electrical grid for light rail transit and buses
How can we combine the energy supply of light rail transit and e-buses and at the same time noticeably decrease operating costs? The intelligent direct current substation GUW+ supplies both city railways and trams, as well as charging stations for electric buses. Together with stationary energy storage systems, for example from used e-bus batteries, many new functions can be generated.
Update of the BordstromTech II guideline for the reduction of ship emissions in ports
The BMDV is continuing its support for the market activation of alternative technologies for the environmentally friendly supply of on-board and mobile shore-side power to seagoing and inland waterway vessels (BordstromTech).
Funding to reduce shipping emissions: apply now!
With the newly issued BordstromTech-II guideline for the reduction of shipping emissions in sea and inland waterway ports, the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) is extending supporting measures aimed at the market activation of alternative technologies for environmentally-friendly onboard electricity and mobile shoreside power supply of seagoing and inland waterway vessels.
Securing critical infrastructure: Fuel cell cluster CPN calls for faster action
The Clean Power Net (CPN) industry network invited its members to participate in a user workshop at the Telekom Forum Bonn on Tuesday. The main focus of the members’ and experts’ meeting was the secure and climate-friendly power supply of critical infrastructure through the use of fuel cell technologies.
Bottom-up study by the Hydrogen Council on decarbonisation of the heating market closes research gap
Germany’s National Hydrogen Council (NWR – Nationaler Wasserstoffrat) has commissioned the Fraunhofer Institutes for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) and Energy Economics and Energy Systems Technology (IEE) to conduct an analysis and evaluation of different decarbonisation paths for the heating market.
