An overview of water electrolysis technologies for green hydrogen production

S. Shiva Kumar, Hankwon Lim · 25 Oct 2022

Decarbonizing the planet is one of the major goals that countries around the world have set for 2050 to mitigate the effects of climate change. To achieve these goals, green hydrogen that can be produced from the electrolysis of water is an important key solution to tackle global decarbonization. Consequently, in recent years there is…

A critical review of comparative global historical energy consumption and future demand: The story told so far

Tanveer Ahmad, Dongdong Zhang · 1 Aug 2020

This review presents a critical combined energy analysis of demand in developed/developing countries, including the load requirements of the various business sectors. It summarizes on-demand time-series, energy supply, overall trade in gas, oil, electricity, coal, and renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, etc.) as well as global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The duration of…

Recent development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies: A review

Lixin Fan, Zhengkai Tu, Siew Hwa Chan · 27 Aug 2021

Hydrogen has emerged as a new energy vector beyond its usual role as an industrial feedstock, primarily for the production of ammonia, methanol, and petroleum refining. In addition to environmental sustainability issues, energy-scarce developed countries, such as Japan and Korea, are also facing an energy security issue, and hydrogen or hydrogen carriers, such as ammonia…

A review on buildings energy information: Trends, end-uses, fuels and drivers

Maribel González-Torres, Luis Pérez‐Lombard, Juan F. Coronel et al. · 22 Dec 2021

Buildings are a major contributor to climate change, accounting for one third of global energy consumption and one quarter of CO2 emissions. However, comprehensive information is lacking for the development, evaluation and monitoring of mitigation policies. This paper discusses the remaining challenges in terms of reliability and consistency of the available data. A review of…

A comprehensive review of Thermoelectric Generators: Technologies and common applications

Nesrine Jaziri, A. Boughamoura, Jens Müller et al. · 23 Dec 2019

Power costs increasing, environmental pollution and global warming are issues that we are dealing with in the present time. To reduce their effects, scientists are focusing on improving energy harvesting-based power generators. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have demonstrated their ability to directly convert thermal energy into an electrical one via the Seebeck effect. Also, they are…
