Australia’s gas network potentially a “bottomless battery” for storing renewables-based hydrogen.
A power-to-gas trial using a new electrolyser will seek to produce cheap hydrogen from splitting water, with the hydrogen then injected into the gas grid.

How does the Aussie Redflow ZCell compare to lithium ion batteries?
Note: the Cell battery has been superseded as Redflow continuously improves its product. The latest version of Redflow’s battery is called the ZBM3.
The Australian company Redflow is accepting pre-orders for its new home energy storage system, the ZCell battery. It has a 10 kilowatt-hour usable storage capacity, can provide 3 kilowatts of continuous power, and is suitable for on-grid and off-grid use. Deliveries will begin in August 2016.
In this Z-Cell battery review I go deep into the zinc bromide technology’s pros and cons compared to its main challenger: lithium ion batteries.
While there are many lithium-ion storage systems on the market, the Redflow ZCell stands out as the only zinc bromide flow battery. Its unique chemistry gives it several advantages over lithium-ion systems. One is it can lie dormant for long periods at any level of charge without suffering from deterioration. And another is its storage capacity will never decline over its over its entire lifespan. [Read more…]
