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...
Aenert news. Invention analysisIn our previous articles we already got acquainted with recent patenting trends in such aspects of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) technology as aromatic LOHC compounds (29.09.2023), heterocyclic LOHC compounds (08.09.2023), hydrogenation (17.10.2023), and dehydrogenation (30.10.2023). In this article we will revise the use of catalysts in major phases of...
Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureToday, graphite has become the most discussed item among the so-called "critical" materials for future development purposes. This is not unexpected, as a number of experts have long been signaling the growing imbalance between production and demand for graphite. Nevertheless, after China imposed restrictions on exports of a number of the important graphite grades...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsIn today’s industrialised world, hydrogen plays an important role in many areas including agriculture and industry. Hydrogen has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as neither its production nor its combustion release CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Moreover, it can also be transformed into electricity or synthetic gas. However, to date it is still...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe production of electric vehicles is an important part of the development of consumer applications of renewable energy and a key indicator of the state of the energy transition to a community with minimal consumption of fossil fuels. The quarterly financial and operating reports of companies involved in the production of electric vehicles provide some basic...
Aenert news. Energy CompaniesHalliburton, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes are the largest oilfield services companies operating throughout the world. We traditionally present comparative quarterly performance indicators of these companies, as this largely demonstrates the state of the entire oil and gas industry. Each of them specializes mainly in the development of highly efficient technologies...
Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsThe National Bureau of Statistics of China has published regular statistics on industry production for the third quarter of 2023. Gross domestic product (100 million yuan) during this period was 319992.3, up 3.9% from the same quarter last year. This means that China's economic growth has significantly slowed this quarter, from 4.8% in the second quarter of 2023. On...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsIt is common knowledge that cold weather and electric batteries do not go together well as most of them lose their efficiency in cool temperatures. This is mainly due to the liquid electrolyte contained in lithium-ion batteries. This battery component transfers ions between two electrodes which causes the battery to charge and discharge. At temperatures below zero,...
Aenert news. Energy Exhibitions & ConferencesShanghai, China, is offering two events on similar and relevant topics in early November. The name SNEC 8th (2022) International Energy Storage Technology, Equipment and Application Conference speaks for itself. Here the most important issues of energy storage will be considered, without the solution of which further large-scale development of renewable energy is...
Aenert news. Invention analysisEarlier in our articles we revised some aspects of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) technology by analyzing recently patented inventions in the fields of aromatic LOHC compounds (29.09.2023), heterocyclic LOHC compounds (08.09.2023), and hydrogenation process in LOHC (17.10.2023). Now we are going to address the aspect of dehydrogenation of liquid organic...
