Narrow-gap semiconductors with the ability to use visible light have garnered significant interest thanks to their versatility. Now, scientists in Japan have developed and characterized a new semiconductor material for application in process components stimulated by light. The findings have, for the first time, suggested a new way to reduce the band gap in […]
German chemicals giant BASF said Thursday it had agreed a partnership with Chinese firm Shanshan to produce components for batteries, including those used in electric cars, in China. In a statement, BASF said it had agreed to take on a 51 percent share of the joint venture to produce cathode active materials and precursors on […]
Maxeon Solar Technologies has executed an agreement to supply approximately one gigawatt of its high efficiency bifacial Performance 5 UPP solar panels for the construction of the Gemini solar plus storage power plant project located near Las Vegas, Nevada, United States (U.S.). The project is being built and will be owned and operated by […]
Highview Power, a global leader in long duration energy storage solutions, has announced it is developing up to 2 GWh of long duration, liquid air energy storage projects across Spain for an estimated investment of around $1 billion. These projects will enable several Spanish regions to move towards their net zero emissions target. […]
Working with partners from industry and research, the German Aerospace Center is developing a climate-friendly energy supply system for ships. It is based on a highly efficient fuel cell system designed to generate heat and power on board. A notable benefit of the cells is that they work with many different fuels. To test […]
Renewable energy grew at its fastest rate in two decades, driven primarily by gains in China and wind power, the International Energy Agency said in a report Tuesday. Around 280 gigawatts (GW) of electricity production capacity was added last year, a 45-percent increase from the amount added in 2019, according to the IEA. That was […]
