The world needs to move from a fossil fuel to a renewable energy based society. With the increasing electricity production from wind and PV, short and long term energy storage are becoming one of challenge of the 21st century. While batteries are the prefe ...
The present invention relates to process intensification, and renewable processing routes for polymer production, for example the solar production of Nylon 6,6 and precursors relevant for the Nylon 6,6 production (such as hydrogen, adiponitrile and hexaned ...
Development of technologies using hydrogen as an energy carrier instead of fossil fuels is strongly required today. Especially, new, reversible, sustainable hydrogen storage technologies have received increasing attention. Formic acid (FA) and methanol (CH ...
Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...

Towards decarbonizing the global economy, hydrogen produced through water electrolysis is expected to be one of the key solutions for variable renewable energy storage and sector coupling, in particular, via the transport sector in the next few decades. Ev ...
The valorization of carbon dioxide and its transformation into useful chemicals is essential as mankind consumes more and more fossil fuels, thus producing equivalent wastes. The storage of hydrogen, a promising energy carrier, is also of great interest in ...
Imbalance costs caused by forecasting errors are considerable for grid-connected wind farms. In order to reduce such costs, two onsite storage technologies, i.e., power-to-hydrogen-to-power and lithium battery, are investigated considering 14 uncertain tec ...
