A team of scientists from Latvia, in collaboration with experts from Romania, Spain, and Germany, is pioneering an innovative solution that could revolutionize hydrogen production: artificial intelligence.

Hydrogen, often hailed as the future of clean energy, has taken a significant step closer to widespread adoption with a groundbreaking solar cell innovation. Researchers at the University of Tübingen have unveiled a new type of solar cell that boasts remarkable efficiency, promising decentralized and cost-effective green hydrogen production on an industrial scale.

Stars, like our own Sun, produce energy through nuclear fusion. In this process, two light atomic nuclei combine to form one or more heavier atomic nuclei and additional sub-atomic particles, such as neutrons.

Fraunhofer UMSICHT researchers are developing a new process called methanol-assisted water electrolysis (MAWE) that could revolutionize the way hydrogen is produced.

Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have synthesized the first-ever metal-organic frameworks (MOF) membrane with a thickness of just one unit cell. The ultrathin film yields record-high separation performance of hydrogen.

Norway has recently made significant breakthroughs in hydrogen research, but current government policy means that these findings will most likely only benefit its competitors. The EU and USA are currently investing heavily in hydrogen, while Norway has yet to develop a clear plan for making hydrogen available for use domestically.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has succeeded in significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production by developing a new carbon-supported catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis.

In the quest for a low-carbon economy, a team of visionary scientists at the NTI Competence Center, specializing in “Hydrogen as the basis of a low-carbon economy,” within the Federal Research Center, Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, have achieved a remarkable breakthrough. Their innovation involves a novel material for electrodes in hydrogen fuel cells, opening doors to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.

Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, has long been touted as a promising renewable energy source for the vehicles of the future. Dr. XiaoYu Wu, a mechanical and mechatronics engineering professor at the University of Waterloo, firmly believes in hydrogen’s potential, but he also recognizes the significant challenges associated with its storage and transportation.

The University of Warwick is one of several partners to benefit from £11 million funding as part of a new hydrogen research hub.
