Aenert news. Energy Exhibitions & ConferencesAfter the summer months, September offers a wide range of exciting energy events around the world. 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. Research Laboratory newsHydrogen is an important fuel for many industries. Currently, hydrogen is mainly produced from the fossil fuel methane. In view of the current energy and climate crises, hydrogen has become attractive both as a standalone fuel and as a component in sustainable fuels made with recycled carbon dioxide. However, it would be highly desirable if hydrogen production could...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsCopper oxide is a valuable catalyst material able to convert different feedstock such as methanol into fuels. In order to achieve an optimal result, understanding the mechanisms of the catalytic reaction started by an oxide catalyst is of great importance. This enables scientists to steer the reaction by controlling the amount of oxygen and the number of electrons...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsHydrogen is considered as clean and sustainable energy carrier that can be used to power a wide range of applications, such as internal combustion engines and fuel cells. It has the benefit of producing no toxic gas and few by-products. Therefore, it is small wonder that governments, companies and scientists are taking great pains to develop methods which can...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsHydrogen is a clean fuel. It can be produced from a variety of resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind which is why it is a convenient fuel option for transportation and electricity generation applications. These include cars, houses, portable power, and many more applications. Hydrogen is also an energy...
Aenert. Research Laboratory newsHydrogen is an abundant material constituting about 75 per cent of the mass of the universe. It is also an element that will certainly one day be used on a larger scale for vehicle propulsion. In order to achieve this goal, improving storage methods is of key importance as efficiently storing this material is a challenging task and has to fulfil certain parameters...
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has released a new report series on global hydrogen, showing the importance of its commercial transport and trade for the establishment of a more diversified and sustainable energy system as well as CO2 emissions reduction. Hydrogen is the most important component of a zero-energy energy system. Currently about 95% of hydrogen is produced using the steam methane reforming process...
In our modern world, tremendous amounts of organic waste, such as agricultural residues, food waste and animal manure, are produced every day. The greater part of this waste is transported to composting plants and incinerated to gain heat and electricity. This process often releases significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Waste, however, could be used to produce energy in a more sustainable manner, including various fuel...
Fuel cells are considered one of the most promising technologies for replacing fossil fuels as energy source in many branches of industry. They use the chemical energy of hydrogen or other fuels to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. Fuel cells can work with a wide range of fuels and feedstocks and produce power for large systems such as utility power stations. They consist of a negative electrode and a positive electrode...
Hydrogen is considered to be one of the most important resources for the energy transition as it can be used as a transport fuel but also energise industrial processes. However, there are still several obstacles, which inhibit the widespread application of hydrogen. One of them is that hydrogen is not easy to transport. A possible solution to this problem is to convert hydrogen into methanol because methanol can be transported and...
