Conceived by a Dutch research group, the proposed system is intended to store surplus renewable electricity via hydrogen generation and battery storage, with the latter being used only when hydrogen generation is not immediately available. Despite its high initial costs, the system can reportedly offer stable operation. May 21, 2024 Emiliano Bellini Researchers at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen in the Netherlands have investigated for the first time how to combine hydrogen production and battery storage with rooftop PV power or small wind turbines in off-grid households. “To…

Real energy independence can be tricky to accomplish, but during the past few years, I’ve accumulated some insights that aren’t so obvious.  This story is part of CNET Zero, a series that chronicles the impact of climate change and explores what’s being done about the problem. The main misconceptions about life off-grid are that it’s a struggle undertaken only by burned-out hippies, preppers awaiting the apocalypse and misanthropes holed up in remote mountain cabins.  I have met a number of these people (I’m a combination of all three), but grid…

Researchers from the University of Manchester have found that improper waste management practices for off-grid solar technologies in Malawi are releasing life-threatening levels of lead pollution. Getting energy from solar panels makes sense in areas of the world that receive sunshine most days of the year, such as Malawi in sub-Saharan Africa.  Solar is often deemed to be a clean energy source for remote areas in countries that have no immediate connection to the national electricity grid. Such off-grid solar technologies are seen as crucial for expanding electricity access to…
