Aenert. Research Laboratory newsSolid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are an emerging technology for converting chemical energy to electricity. Owing to intense research efforts dedicated to increasing the stability and performance of SOFCs, the SOFC technology is experiencing a rapidly growing interest throughout the world. Electrolysis is currently the most promising method of hydrogen production from...
Aenert news. RatingsThe World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published the 2023 Global Innovation Index (the GII), which was the 16th edition. The ranking list included 132 countries and one hundred of the world's largest science and technology clusters. The choice of countries was not random. They account for 92.5 percent of the world's population and 97.6 percent of global...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesHydrocarbon production in the United States continues to grow strongly. In September 2023, new historical records for daily natural gas and crude oil production were achieved. For natural gas, the maximum daily production is now 125.078 Million Cubic Feet per Day, and for crude oil - 13.236 thousand barrels per Day. To understand the uniqueness of this fact, let us...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesSolar photovoltaics today represents the most dynamically developing area of renewable energy. In several countries of the world, including, for example, Chile, Australia, Hungary, Spain, the level of solar electricity generation exceeds 10% of its total volume. No one is surprised by solar photovoltaic stations with a capacity of more than one GW. At the same time,...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesWind power is a critical tool in the transition from fossil fuels to carbon-free energy. In a number of large countries, for example, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, the share of wind energy in total electricity generation exceeds 20%. In Denmark this share is close to 50%. Between 2013 and 2022, wind power capacity tripled. By the beginning of 2023, the main...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsAqueous zinc-organic batteries (ZOBs) are a fairly modern class of batteries featuring all the advantageous traits of zinc-ion batteries and organic cathode materials: They draw on renewable resources and have a positive impact on CO2 emissions. Especially the tunability of their molecular structure and the diversity of organic reactions which they can produce makes...
Aenert news. Energy Exhibitions & ConferencesSeveral notable events will take place in the last month of this year. Moreover, this time we tried to cover those that will take place in different parts of the world - in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Latin America Unconventional Resources Technology Conference 2023 will be held in early December in Buenos Aires. Argentina is one of the few countries...
Aenert news. Energy TrendsPhotovoltaics is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of renewable energy. In 2022, the total installed photovoltaic capacity significantly exceeded 1000 GW. A year earlier, the share of solar photovoltaics in global electricity generation from all sources reached 3.8%. Ten years ago this was hard to believe, since at that time this share did not exceed...
Aenert news. Environment & Climate ChangeThe 2022 edition of the Environmental Performance Index (EPI-2022) traditionally ranks 180 countries on their performance in protecting ecosystem and mitigating climate change. The EPI-2022 shows which countries are best addressing the environmental challenges using 40 performance indicators across 11 issue categories and 3 policy objectives: Environmental...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsIn view of the looming climate crisis we are currently facing, finding a feasible solution to mitigating the harmful influence of CO2 emissions is of paramount importance. In this context, capturing carbon dioxide and pumping it deep underground by means of geological carbon capture and storage (CCS) appears to be an essential solution for achieving the objectives...
