New electrolytic cells to play a role in tomorrow’s local energy supply

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 - 07:32 in Physics & Chemistry

Lower carbon dioxide emissions demand more renewable energy in the energy system. This calls for new solutions that take account of the considerable variations in the amount of wind energy, hydropower, solar energy, etc. One of the solutions is a distributed energy system. Here it must be possible to store surplus energy locally using, for example, local SPEC electrolytic cells. The foundation for this technology is being developed by researchers in Norway.
