The Hydrogen Stream: Canada, Italy Announce Funds for Hydrogen Trade, Infrastructure
Canada and Italy announced funds for hydrogen projects. Meanwhile, a team of researchers explained that Australia should ship hydrogen to Japan by 2030 via methyl cyclohexane (MCH) or liquid ammonia (LNH3), not completely rejecting the option of liquid hydrogen (LH2).
BMW Group Expanding Production Network for the Next Generation of High-Voltage Batteries
The BMW Group is expanding its production network for the next generation of high-voltage batteries significantly, with five facilities on three continents to produce sixth-generation high-voltage batteries. Across the globe, the principle of “local for local” will apply. This helps the BMW Group increase the resilience of its production. The…
Germany: New PV Records in July
Energy Charts and Agora Energiewende both report a production of 10.3 TWh of solar power last month. Almost 9.5 TWh of this was fed into the grid. In addition, there were more than 80 hours in July with negative electricity prices.
France Announces Two New PV Tenders for 1.2 GW
Between August 19 and 30, the ground-mounted PV tenders will accept up to 925 MW of projects, in parallel with the building-mounted PV call for tenders, between August 26 and September 6, which aims for a total capacity of 300 MW. The latter marks the end of the carbon footprint requirements based on life cycle analysis (LCA) in favor of a “country mix” approach.
Recovering Silver From PV Waste via Green Graphene
Researchers at James Cook University have developed a process to synthesize graphene from tangerine peel oil, which they then used to recover silver from waste PV material. To demonstrate the quality of the recovered silver and the synthesized graphene, they made a dopamine sensor that reportedly outperformed reference devices.
