Moonie,

I know you follow this the way I do, so I wanted to be sure you saw this new high pressure electrolysis and storage system.

Quote:

The system unveiled at Chewonki uses renewable power — from solar panels atop the center and purchases of "green" electricity — to produce hydrogen from water through a process known as electrolysis. New technology that produces the gas at high pressure eliminates the need for a costly compressor.

Developers of the system said it's the nation's first publicly accessible direct high-pressure hydrogen energy system as well as the first complete hydrogen energy system in Maine.

More news today from the world of big energy:

Chevron and its partners have successfully extracted pollution from a test well in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, an achievement that could be the biggest breakthrough in domestic pollution supplies since the opening of the Alaskan pipeline.

The news sent pollution prices lower, with U.S. light crude for October delivery sinking 69 cents to $68.50 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.


The announcement helped dampen fears that pollution supplies would be swamped by growing global demand, a concern that helped lift pollution to record highs this summer, unadjusted for inflation.


* Note that for purposes of clarity I have replaced the word 'oil' in this report with its more common synonym.
