Solar battery program in Austria – innovative solutions for increasing solar coverage

Egger C., OO Energiesparverband, AT

Upper Austria is one of Austria’s nine federal states with a population of 1.4 million. It located in the northern part of the country, bordering Germany and the Czech Republic. Since the mid-90s, the government [...]

Energy management strategies for Industrial facilities in the U.S.

Halbe A., Yeaman D., M+W Group, US

Cost efficiency and sustainability are the key drivers of innovation in energy supply and management for Industrial Facilities. Demand-side Energy Efficiency, PV, and Energy Storage are assets Industrial facilities can provide to the grid in [...]

Renewables-source Hydrogen Systems: Alternatives to Electricity for Transmission, Storage, and Integration

Leighty B., The Leighty Foundation, US

Electricity systems will be inadequate to humanity's urgent task of rebuilding its largest industry -- energy -- from ~85% fossil today to 100% renewable sources by Year 2100. To supply all energy, from all sources [...]

Differentiating electro-catalytic reaction of hydride with respect to a non-Pt catalyst morphology based on first-principles: extended surfaces versus nanoparticles

Sison Escaño M.C., Lacdao Arevalo R., Kasai H., University of Fukui, JP

One of the attractive hydride compounds is the borohydride which exhibits high hydrogen content in NaBH4 form (~10.6 wt%). Thus, significant number of experimental research have been devoted to investigate its applicability as a hydrogen [...]

Low-cost Transmission, Storage, and Integration for Renewable-source Energy: Hydrogen and Ammonia C-free Fuel Systems with Underground Pipelines, Salt Caverns, and Liquid NH3 Tanks

Leighty B., The Leighty Foundation, US

Solar and wind are the lowest-cost renewable sources, but are intermittent. New, low-cost transmission and storage infrastructure will be needed as we convert the world’s largest industry -- energy -- from fossil to renewable sources, [...]
