Latvenergo, Latvia’s leading energy company, plans to install 250 megawatts (MW) of energy storage capacity by 2030. This ambitious target is part of a broader strategy to integrate renewable energy sources more efficiently and ensure grid stability. With renewable energy generation being inherently variable, the pressing need for reliable energy storage solutions becomes evident. As of 2023, global market trends indicate a significant increase in energy storage deployments, with Europe alone witnessing a 70% year-on-year increase in battery storage installations. In Latvia, the challenge remains to balance intermittent renewable energy supply with consistent demand. As reported, Latvia’s renewable energy capacity,…

A current challenge in green hydrogen production is enhancing the efficiency of the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), where the kinetics are notably hampered by the sluggish dissociation of water (H2O). Statistical insights reveal that over 95% of current hydrogen production processes are rooted in fossil fuels, underscoring the critical need to develop efficient electrocatalytic processes that utilize renewable energy sources. An innovative approach to addressing this issue involves manipulating the micro-environment at the interface of catalysts to improve water molecule orientation and reaction kinetics. The potential application of lattice strain to influence water orientation at the interface of a…
