In a geothermal system, loops of flexible pipe are installed ten to hundreds of feet deep into the ground. At these depths, the earth is a fairly stable 45 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, funneling a ready source of heat in cold weather to a building’s electrically powered geothermal heat pump. In the summer, the appliances provide air conditioning by dumping...
California is on the verge of banning the sale of portable fossil fuel-powered generators, the most commonly used backup power solution for households and small businesses. The state’s move aligns with its ambitious climate strategy to cut carbon emissions and advance toward a clean energy future. However, the ban also exposes a difficult reality:...

Under an agreement with Edgewood Renewables, Plug will use its hydrogen plant design experience to help build and integrate hydrogen into the SAF production process. Specifically, the US green hydrogen firm will lead the engineering design, key product supply, fabrication, and project oversight. Plug said the project “expands its reach beyond hydrogen into complementary clean fuel markets.” Located...
Picture this: vast underground salt caverns working like giant sponges—not for rainwater, but for Europe’s most versatile fuel. That vision has moved off the drawing board when Plug Power delivered 44.5 metric tons of green hydrogen to the pilot H2CAST site in Lower Saxony, Germany.It wasn’t a solo effort. U.S.-based fuel cell pioneer Plug Power teamed up with Dutch gas network heavyweight Gasunie...
Thermal energy storage systems, which turn electricity into heat that can be tapped for hours or days at a time, could help decarbonize the production of everything from cement to beer. But in the U.S., where the economics of replacing fossil fuels with electricity remain challenging, thermal-battery startup Rondo Energy has found...

Plug sourced the hydrogen from Hy2Gen’s Atlantis electrolyser plant in Werlte, where it has exclusive access to 100% of the output. It used its own high-pressure hydrogen trailers and delivery equipment to deliver the fuel to the H2Cast project. Led by Gasunie and Storag Etzel, the project is converting salt caverns into large-scale hydrogen storage to help balance Germany’s energy grid and...
Amazon’s got a new data hub in Hilliard, Ohio, and they’re thinking big about power—installing up to 228 natural gas–fueled solid oxide fuel cell technology units right on-site. That roughly 73 MW of juice should take the heat off the local grid and keep Amazon Web Services (AWS) humming for one of the biggest cloud outfits out there.Project at a GlanceIn the filing with the City of Hilliard’s...
Data centers are creating problems for the congested, overburdened U.S. power grid. One company thinks it can crowdsource the solution. California-based Voltus operates “virtual power plants” across North America, controlling the amount of electricity that participating homes and businesses consume or send to the grid via...
