🆕 🤝 The new white paper 'Bulk Transport Options for Green Molecules' takes a look at global hydrogen trade, cross-continental pipelines and the economy and features selected interviews. 👇 Check the first link to download! For a sustainable transformation of its industry, Europe needs more emission-free hydrogen than can be produced on the continent. Without imports from sunny and windy regions, a climate-neutral transformation will not succeed. In this high-level study, ILF Consulting Engineers in Germany experts, together with the MENA Hydrogen Alliance initiated by Dii Desert Energy / Desertec3.0, have investigated how this hydrogen can be transported to the industrial centres of Europe.   Last week, we presented the key findings of the study at the Dii Partner meeting in KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), ahead of the ACWA Power Innovations Days, with esteemed guests such as Mr. Mohammad A. Abunayyan, founder and Chairman of ACWA Power and Dr. Tony F Chan, President of KAUST. Amongst others, the key findings of the paper are: ✅ Long-distance hydrogen pipeline transport is feasible and cost-effective, whereas new pipeline infrastructure requires significant initial capital investments. ✅‘Low hanging fruits’, like converting existing natural gas pipelines to hydrogen transport, could provide an outstanding kick-off in the hydrogen market. It is recommended to examine each case's potential in the first place. ✅Transport by ship is a feasible option in many locations - (practically) requiring hydrogen to be converted into liquids (such as ammonia or LOHC). The report shows different technologies for the transport of such liquids. To find out more, get in touch and check the link in the first comment!

A joint effort between the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) and BeDimensional S.p.A. has unveiled a revolutionary solution for producing green hydrogen more efficiently and affordably. Harnessing the power of small ruthenium particles and a solar-powered electrolysis system, researchers have devised a groundbreaking technology featured in top-tier journals Nature Communications and the Journal of the American Chemical Society. "Green hydrogen holds immense potential as a sustainable energy source," remarked #YongZuo and Michele Ferri from #IIT, emphasizing the urgency to transition from fossil fuel-dependent methods. By leveraging ruthenium nanoparticles, similar in behavior to platinum but significantly cheaper, the team has achieved unprecedented efficiency in water electrolysis. Sebastiano Bellani and Marilena Isabella Zappia from #BeDimensional highlighted the meticulous electrochemical analyses and techno-economic assessments driving the project's success. With just 40 mg of ruthenium per kilowatt, this innovation outshines conventional electrolyzers, offering a cost-effective pathway to greener energy. Looking ahead, researchers aim to integrate this technology with nanostructured catalysts, further enhancing the scalability and sustainability of green hydrogen production.

I’m excited to share that our research, titled "Exploring multimetal interactions between FeNi₃ alloy and Lu₃Ga₅O₁₂ metal oxide for improved water splitting performance," has been published in Fuel (Impact Factor: 6.7)! A huge thanks to Muhammad Naeem Ashiq for his invaluable support throughout this project. His dedication and insights were pivotal in driving this study to success. 🌍 The Importance of Sustainable Hydrogen Production As we shift towards sustainable energy, hydrogen (H₂) stands out as a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels. This study introduces an innovative approach to hydrogen production via water splitting, utilizing a gel-matrix method to create Fe-Ni alloy-based nanocomposites. ✨ Key Findings: High Efficiency: Achieved remarkable turn-over frequencies (TOF) for HER (2.98 s⁻¹ at 177 mV) and OER (1.48 s⁻¹ at 219 mV). Enhanced Stability: Demonstrated durability exceeding 60 hours, supporting long-lasting catalytic performance. Optimized Energy Conversion: Features low Tafel slopes (50 mV/dec for HER and 37 mV/dec for OER) and minimal overpotentials, driving efficient energy output. This work breaks new ground in the design of high-performance, sustainable electrocatalysts, marking a significant advancement in energy conversion technology. 🔗 Explore the Full Study: Read more in Fuel and see how our FeNi₃-Lu₃Ga₅O₁₂ nanocomposites contribute to the future of clean energy!

another important piece of research on industry electrification, this time with a closer look at the Swiss industry which has the potential to be electrified up to 73%

Cleantech company Synhelion recently inaugurated the world's first industrial plant for the production of #solarfuels. This piece of Empa technology keeps it running: 🧱Bricks. In particular, #bricks that serve as a temporary storage for the enormous heat of up to 1'200 degrees Celsius which develops on the solar receiver and is primarily used to operate the reactor. Overnight, the surplus heat in the reservoir supplies the reactor with energy and keeps it running. 💡As none of the refractory bricks available on the market were designed for these extreme conditions, Synhelion approached Empa: In a two-year project funded by Innosuisse, Empa scientists Gurdial Blugan and N. Sena Yüzbasi, together with Synhelion, developed a suitable #ceramic and are currently refining the material to make it even more durable. 🔗 Read on: https://lnkd.in/eSFRETXH 🔗Previous article (2021): https://lnkd.in/dMDA648 📷️Image: Synhelion Author: Anna Ettlin
