The Hydrogen Stream: Carbon-coated nickel anode to resolve troubles of hydrogen fuel cell without precious metals
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cornell University, as well as Wuhan University have actually offered a completely rare-earth element-- free alkaline fuel cell with improved efficiency utilizing a carbon-coated nickel anode. At the same time, the Port of Rotterdam has actually supplied to provide northwestern Europe with 4.6 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2030. According to RMI, Europe will import green hydrogen in between 2024 and 2030. RenewableUK sees area for hydrogen exports from the UK to the EU.

EnBW payments part of the 187 MW initially huge scale aid cost-free solar park in Germany
German energy company EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG is gradually putting Germany's largest solar park right into procedure in Werneuchen (Brandenburg). While the first kilowatt hours are being fed into the grid, the construction of the 187 MW Weesow-Willmersdorf plant proceeds. Around 70 percent of the modules have been mounted. Both transformer terminals, whereby the electrical power produced in the solar park is fed into the 110-kilovolt high-voltage line, are ready for procedure.
