Aenert. Research Laboratory newsIn the endeavour to find new materials to advance energy and industrial production, different approaches are being examined, some of them including completely new technologies, others relying on known materials. Carbenes are one such molecule. They were first discovered in the 1830s when scientists unsuccessfully tried to dehydrate methanol to methylene. But it...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe solar photovoltaics market continued its rapid development in the second quarter of 2023. According to the company, Longi global annual growth in the first half was 45%. The greatest dynamics were demonstrated by China, where almost 74.5 GW solar power capacity was installed during this period, up by 154% of the same period of 2022. Brazil, Germany and the USA...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe wind energy industry continues to face significant challenges, which inevitably impact the production and financial performance of leading wind turbine manufacturers. Previously, the epicenter of the problems was the situation at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, where quality problems, a growing number of technical equipment failures, and execution of outdated...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsWith energy demand rising around the globe and efforts being made to produce the greater part of the energy consumed from renewables because of their obvious environmental benefits, scientists around the world supported by local governments are seeking to find means which can fulfill both conditions: reduce emissions as well as produce sufficient amounts of energy...
Aenert news. Invention analysisLiquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are considered a promising technology for hydrogen transport and storage applications. They include a variety of compounds that can be bound with hydrogen (hydrogenation) so that it can be transported or stored in liquid state without the use of sophisticated compression or cryogenic equipment and released (dehydrogenation)...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsThere is common consent that batteries will play a key role in future mobility, whether in stationary energy systems, e-cars, buses or electric motorcycles. Therefore, scientists around the globe are working hard to improve existing battery technologies and make production processes easier. One of the most important steps in lithium-battery production is...

Among them are two events in Mexico dedicated to the development of renewable energy in this country, as well as a number of interesting events related to various aspects of the expansion of the hydrogen industry. In addition, major events such as SPE Offshore Europe...
Aenert news. RatingsThe Times Higher Education World University Rankings is an annual publication by the Times Higher Education magazine. Formerly, the publisher had collaborated with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) (2004-2009) and Thomson Reuters (2010 – 2013) to release a joint ranking. In 2014 however, the magazine signed an agreement with Elsevier to provide it with the data used in...
Aenert news. Invention analysisIn our earlier articles we discussed patenting trends in several general fields of solar energy production technology, including concentrating photovoltaics (30.04.2023), solar energy storage systems (05.06.2022 and 09.01.2023), and experimental and unconventional solutions (08.04.2023). Further, we also revised a set of aspects of solar tracking systems for...
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsRecently presented Eurostat statistics on municipal waste show that the trend of recent years towards an increase in household waste has continued in 2021. 527 kg of municipal waste per capita were generated in the EU in 2021, up from 505 kg in 2020. It should be noted that municipal waste only account for about 10% of the total waste generated in the EU. As can...
