Green Hydrogen Not a Blanket Alternative to Fossil Fuels? Updated On Thu, May 20th, 2021 by Saurenergy Green hydrogen is increasingly being built up as the ideal clean fuel for a carbon-neutral tomorrow, but is it a viable replacement for the use of fossil fuels in cars or domestic heating systems? In a recently published study conducted by Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), scientists have found that even though […] Read more
South Korean Scientists Work to Lower H2 Storage & Transportation Costs Updated On Wed, May 19th, 2021 by Saurenergy In a recent study published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, a team of scientists at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) explore the possibility to trap hydrogen inside ice-like crystals to make its storage and transportation less demanding. Hydrogen (H2) is increasingly being posited as a key clean fuel for our transition to an […] Read more
Australia Installs Record-breaking Number of Rooftop Solar Panels: CSIRO Updated On Mon, May 17th, 2021 by Saurenergy Australia installed its highest ever number of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in 2020, according to Clean Energy Regulator data analysed by energy efficiency experts from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO. Data from the Clean Energy Regulator analysed by CSIRO shows that in 2020, around Australia, over 362,000 rooftop solar PV installations were issued with […] Read more

Airports A Better Option Than Households for Rooftop Solar- RMIT University Study Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy According to a recent study by RMIT University (The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) , if Australian government-owned airports had large-scale rooftop solar systems installed, they could produce enough electricity to power 136,000 homes. That makes airports a far more attractive and effective prospects for rooftop solar, than a campaign targeting households. Researchers at RMIT […] Read more
Decentralized Solar Offers Energy Solutions In Climate Vulnerable Regions in India Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy A significant section of rural India lives in areas which are prone/accustomed to climatic adversities. Hence, people living in these regions are greater risk of being underserved, and hence, impoverished. Although there have been significant improvements in India’s rural household electrification, electricity availability for health centers, schools, and rural enterprises is still limited. A new […] Read more
German Scientists Redesign Stack to Make Cheaper Redox Flow Batteries Updated On Sat, May 8th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT, located in Germany, claim that thorough redesigning the stack, they have contrived a way to bring down production costs of redox flow batteries which are used to store renewable energy. As a result, Christian Doetsch and Lukas Kopietz from Fraunhofer UMSICHT and Dr. Thorsten Seipp […] Read more
