A breakthrough for green hydrogen is not a given – decisive policy action is required

Green hydrogen would likely supply less than 1 % of final energy globally by 2035, while the European Union might hit the 1% mark a little earlier by about 2030. In particular, the EU’s 2030 plan to supply 10 million tons of green hydrogen with domestic capacity will be out of reach, unless policy makers Read more about A breakthrough for green hydrogen is not a given – decisive policy action is required[…]

New lightweight materials for energy technologies

The explosion of mobile electronic devices, electric vehicles, drones and other technologies have driven demand for new lightweight materials that can provide the power to operate them. Researchers from the University of Houston and Texas A&M University have reported a structural supercapacitor electrode made from reduced graphene oxide and aramid nanofiber that is stronger and Read more about New lightweight materials for energy technologies[…]
