Solar Power to Chemicals: New Electrolytic Cell Produces Hydrogen Peroxide using Surplus Renewable Energy

In order to balance out spikes in power grids resulting from non-uniform regenerative energy conversion from wind or sun, surplus power can be used for the decentralized production of chemicals. German research center Fraunhofer IGB has developed an electrolytic cell in which hydrogen peroxide can be produced on site with electric energy from just water and air – along with oxidative wastewater treatment.
