Professor Holger Ruckdäschel and Mr. Fabian Hübner of the University of Bayreuth, Germany, developed high-specific-strength materials made of carbon fiber composites to withstand the high pressure and low temperature of hydrogen stored in high-performance cars, aircraft, or space travel in order to meet hydrogen fuel requirements.

Swedish research group has developed a device combining CIGS thin-film solar modules and an alkaline electrolyser based on a trimetallic cathodic catalyst made of nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium (NiMoV) and an anode made of nickel oxide (NiO). The electrolyser achieved an average solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 8.5% for stable operations during 100 hours.

Green hydrogen, which is made from renewable energy, is now competing with gray hydrogen, which is made from fossil sources and does not collect CO2. This is the situation in the economic region of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
