Aenert news. Invention analysisAchieving competitiveness of hydrogen production by water electrolysis compared to methane reforming requires solving a number of complex engineering problems in the design of electrolyzers. These include issues of improving anodes and cathodes, new catalyst materials, optimizing the design of membranes and diaphragms, more advanced electrolytes, etc. Separators...
Aenert news. Invention analysisHydrogen production through electrolysis is the main hope of renewable energy in creating a full cycle of electricity generation through wind turbines and photovoltaic stations and its intermediate storage. This is necessary to compensate for forced downtime of these generating capacities due to natural cycles. At the same time, additional generation of electricity...
Aenert news. Invention analysisElectrolysis is one of the main technologies for producing green hydrogen. However, to date, hopes for achieving acceptable competitiveness of this technology compared, for example, with steam reforming, have not been justified. The cost of hydrogen produced by electrolysis remains too high for mass production. In addition, another important problem for electrolysis...
Aenert news. Invention analysisPreviously, in our article dated 21.03.2024 we have revised recent patents aimed at improving the efficiency of hydrogen production by water electrolysis. Another important problem in this technology is high operating costs of water electrolysis facilities, such as power consumption, regular maintenance, replacement of degraded or corroded elements, etc. Today we...
Aenert news. Invention analysisHydrogen production via water electrolysis holds immense significance in modern world. As an alternative way of producing power, it offers a potential to address global challenges related to sustainability and climate change. It offers a diverse set of advantages for a society, including decarbonization of energy sector in cases where energy is produced from green...
Aenert news. Invention analysisEarlier, in a set of articles related to Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) technology we delved into such aspects of the technology as heterocyclic LOHC compounds (29.09.2023, 08.09.2023), hydrogenation and dehydrogenation (17.10.2023, 30.10.2023), LOHC catalysts in general and noble metal catalysts specifically (20.11.2023, 22.12.2023), and dealing with...
Aenert news. Invention analysisPreviously, in our articles on recent patenting trends we covered several aspects of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) technology, including aromatic and heterocyclic LOHC compounds (29.09.2023, 08.09.2023), hydrogenation and dehydrogenation (17.10.2023, 30.10.2023), LOHC catalysts in general and noble metal catalysts in particular (20.11.2023, 22.12.2023)....
Aenert news. Invention analysisPreviously, we already published several articles on recent patenting activity in the field of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). Back then we have covered several individual aspects of the technology, namely aromatic (29.09.2023) and heterocyclic (08.09.2023) LOHC compounds, hydrogenation and dehydrogenation (30.10.2023 and 17.10.2023), and catalysts...
Aenert news. Invention analysisTowards the end of this year, WIPO and IP5 Offices published statistical results of patent activity in the world for 2022. After the relatively difficult two previous years, which passed under the sign of Covid, in 2022 political upheavals took over the baton of negativity. Under these conditions, the patent activity of inventors could not remain independent of...
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...
