Four days earlier, Arsenal had announced that it had installed the 2.5-megawatt-hour lithium-ion battery storage system underneath the Emirates. That’s the equivalent of 40 Tesla Model 3s. It’s enough to power more than 10 million 10-watt light bulbs for 24 hours. It’s enough to power 2,700 average UK households for about two hours. The battery is designed to work alongside a traditional grid setup to keep costs down during a match.

GM has not released a fuel cell vehicle for the consumer market, but it has a joint venture with Honda to produce fuel cell stacks at a Michigan plant, a deal that started in 2013 and expanded in 2017, when both companies said the Michigan plant where the fuel stacks are being made could produce vehicles starting in 2020.

The largest savings from an electric vehicle is found in their longevity. The Tesla drivetrain has less than a dozen moving parts. Combined with its all-aluminum construction it will last a very long time and could easily travel to 1 million miles with only battery swaps. Some folks have wrongly predicted those swaps will be expensive. With production scaling and new technologies for accessing and recycling critical minerals like lithium and cobalt the cost of Li-ion batteries actually falls year after year. (See chart from Union of Concerned Scientists). The replacement of my batteries at 150,000 + miles will be way cheaper than the engine rebuild and tranny swap an ICE car would need and the demand will drive technology and scientific research forward.

The Eco Explorer is offered under the same new Campervan Co spinoff brand that launched the D:5 Terrain van, but it’s more closely related to Campers Scotland’s Eco Campers line. The new Explorer differs from older Alphard-based hybrid Eco Campers because it’s a lighter, more versatile style of camper developed in response to customers who wanted an eco-friendly camper van that could also do everyday commuting. The company thinks of it as a "city-to-country" van that can be driven everyday while still remaining completely stocked and ready to go for a camping trip, even if that trip is taken on a whim with little time to pack.

Hydrogen power has been on the market for years but in an extremely limited capacity. There are currently 39 public hydrogen fueling stations in California (with another 25 in development), along with a couple in Hawaii. Now the East Coast is getting its own infrastructure. A handful of stations are up and running, and more are in the works in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Don’t rely on candles. A report by the National Fire Protection Association found burning candles are a major cause of death when the lights go out.

At company level, this report focuses on the production capacity, ex-factory price, revenue and market share for each manufacturer covered in this report.

Irish startup SolarMarine Energy got a $225,000 grant from the government last month to develop its floating solar technology. Details are scarce, but the company says it is developing both inshore and offshore platforms.

Leasing has been a popular consumer choice for fuel cell and battery electric cars because the technology is new and early adopters don’t want to be tied into a current model for a long time as the technology advances and efficiency improves.

Under the scheme, South Australians are free to buy any battery they want as long as technical requirements are met for the storage system to be safe, reliable and capable of being integrated into a virtual power plant.

As demand for smarter solutions and connectivity continues, the Craft Bearings team will also take advantage of ABB Ability™ with REACT 2 to deliver intelligent control over their storage needs and manage their energy production and consumption during the race. This means the team principals will be able to control peaks and troughs in the energy flow and should be able to meet their 100 percent solar energy target for the coverage of service energy needs.
