Environment News Service: The first-ever electricity generating system to use recovered hybrid vehicle batteries for commercial energy storage is up and running at Yellowstone National Park.
Solar panels generate the electricity, which is then stored in the 208 used Toyota Camry Hybrid nickel-metal hydride battery packs, recovered from Toyota dealers across the United States.
They power five buildings at Yellowstone`s Lamar Buffalo Ranch field campus, including cabins, the ranger station and the education center.
