- Edison Foundation and Edison Energy Institute (2018)
- BNEF NEO Report
Vehicle to Grid – Report:
Fuel Cells- FCEVs
Types: PEM; SOFC; MFC/CFC; DMFC, et al
Featured in presentation:
Watt; SolidPower BlueGen; Ceres Power (UK); Powercell; Ballard; FuelCellEnergy
**There are many more companies — Tags on Fuel Cell Companies
Note: There are a number of widely cited critiques of FCEVs (vs BEVs) – ‘Inefficiency – Bossel Chart’, et al. Some day I’ll pull together an assumption-by-assumption counter. For now — a video on potential public push back ahead.

MicroGrid Knowledge: Power to Gas vs Battery – 2018
Southern California Gas’s pipeline system has about 13 tWh of equivalent electricity storage, he noted. Building battery storage facilities with the same amount of storage capacity would cost about $2.6 trillion.
Power-to-gas is currently not considered an eligible storage technology under the CPUC’s energy storage procurement mandate which requires state investor-owned utilities to procure 1.3 GW of storage by 2020
North America’s First MW Power to Gas – 2018
The Enbridge-Hydrogenics 2.5MW facility – designed and built on a 5MW scalable platform – features the Hydrogenics’ next-generation PEM electrolyser technology, which has the highest power density and smallest footprint of any such system in the world.

Natural Gas – Source of Hydrogen
“… a fuel cell electric vehicle will only need about 0.4 kg of hydrogen per day for typical family use.”
