This portal page aggregates news, information, companies, products, services and business opportunities relevant to renewable energy storage.
One of the greatest challenges in utilising renewable energy (including solar and wind) is managing the balance between supply and demand – the wind does not always blow and direct sunlight is not always available. Traditionally, excess electricity is stored in batteries, but batteries have a finite storage capacity. Combining renewable energy with and electrolyser and hydrogen storage technology, enables much greater volumes of energy to be stored as hydrogen. This hydrogen can then used in a fuel cell or internal combustion engine to generate electricity. A similar configuration can also be used to provide an onsite supply of hydrogen for stationary and transport applications.
There are a number of companies developing solutions for renewable energy storage worldwide and there are a number of opportunities and products for companies looking for renewable on site hydrogen supply.
