Hydrogen to power electric cars
I saw this car in the showroom of the BMW factory in Regensburg in 2019 after doing one of their factory tours and took a photo. It started my interest in use of hydrogen as a source of power. Before then many thought hydrogen was too dangerous to use for energy.Companies are working on power-to-gas renewable hydrogen, which is when wind or solar energy is used to split hydrogen from water. This renewable hydrogen could be used to supplement renewable energy to charge electric cars. www.bmwblog.com/2019/01/20/could-bmw-use-hydrogen-to-charge-its-electric-cars/

Small wind turbines that have a great impact
Traditionally, small wind turbines have had a significantly lower efficiency than their large-scale counterparts, increasing their levelized cost of energy. Diffuse Energy's product is a small wind turbine that, through being enclosed within a diffuser, can produce nearly twice the power output of existing wind turbines of the same size. Their additional diffuser also makes their turbine safer and quieter than existing turbines, both of which are key considerations for potential customers. Diffuse Energy has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Diffuse-Energy
