Press Release

Balancing nuclear and renewable energy

Nuclear power plants typically run either at full capacity or not at all. Yet the plants have the technical ability to adjust to the changing demand for power and thus better accommodate sources of renewable energy such as wind or solar power.
Argonne researchers have collaborated with several industry partners to develop a better hydrogen refueling method that can potentially save time and costs.
Feature Story

All the right moves

Transporting hydrogen from its production site to a refueling station and ultimately into the tank of a consumer’s fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is something of a chess game.
