Researchers develop new green technology for producing hydrogen using renewable energy

Proposed DWE process. Schematic illustration of the proposed DWE process with continuous generation of H2 and O2 in separate electrolytic and catalytic cells using Br/BrO3 as a soluble redox couple. The oxidized bromate-rich (BrO3) electrolyte flows from the bottom of the electrolytic cell to the bottom of the catalytic cell, where it is reduced to bromide (Br) by a catalyst and flows from the top of the catalytic cell back to the top of the electrolytic cell. The green coating represents a semipermeable chromium hydroxide layer. Credit: Nature Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41563-023-01767-y

A group of researchers from the Technion Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering has presented a new technology for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. Their breakthrough was recently published in Nature Materials.

The novel technology embodies significant advantages compared to other processes for producing green

Climate Change Solution or “Worse Than Coal”? New Research Explores Debate Around Controversial Energy Technology

Climate Change Solution or “Worse Than Coal”? New Research Explores Debate Around Controversial Energy Technology

A new study analyzed public opinion on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), a divisive energy technology featured in the UK’s net-zero plan for 2050. The study identified eight key storylines in media coverage, ranging from viewing BECCS as a “Necessary mitigation tool” to labeling it “Worse than coal,” and found that the battle for public opinion on BECCS is far from settled.

A recent study delves into the polarizing public discourse surrounding a controversial energy technology. Supporters argue that it’s essential for fighting climate change, while detractors claim it’s even more harmful than coal.

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) features heavily in the UK government’s plan to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. However there is low public awareness of the technology, which has split the opinion of scientists, politicians, and media outlets.

BECCS generates energy by burning plants and trees and captures the resulting carbon

Mobile Health Technology: From Daily Care and Pandemics to their Energy Consumption and Environmental Impact Mobile Networks and Applications

The types of strategies used to promote engagement with mobile technology remain limited. Taj and colleagues report that goal-setting and self-management are most common, with Direito and colleagues also noting action-planning, feedback, instruction, and social comparison as strategies employed. These strategies are reviewed extensively elsewhere and present in many commercial wearable devices .

This technological advance paved the way for the second generation of mobile networks. Time Division Multiple Access and Code Division Multiple Access systems are significant developments in 2G technology. Multiple users can use the same frequency band thanks to TDMA, which breaks up each channel into time slots.
