Energy storage
While technologies are developed almost each and every day to generate clean and green energy, storing that energy remains a problem. The lack of ability to properly store renewable energy has meant that sometimes turbines are taken offline when grids are jammed. The problem also leads to supply demand imbalance.
But now, Hydrogenics Corporation (USA) (NASDAQ:HYGS) has come up with a technology that is going to solve that problem once and for all. The Canada-based developer and manufacturer of hydrogen believe its technology is able to store renewable power from sources such as solar and wind. The stored energy can then be converted into heat or fuel.
Opportunities opening up
That technology which Hydrogenics Corporation (USA) (NASDAQ:HYGS) is touting is already attracting users. The company has inked an agreement to work in a Denmark pioneering project for the conversion of excess wind electricity into natural gas. That project is worth €3.7 million and will demonstrate how the world can deal with energy supply and demand imbalance by storing excess renewable power.
