Lehmann Marine, Sunlight announce investment for maritime battery innovation

Lehmann Marine has signed a pivotal investment agreement with the Greek Sunlight Group, marking a major milestone in the evolution of sustainable energy solutions for the maritime industry. Sunlight Group, a member of the Olympia Group, brings over 30 years of expertise in the production of advanced lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. As a global leader

Rice University engineers develop hydrogen from sunlight

Rice University engineers can turn sunlight into hydrogen with record-breaking efficiency thanks to a device that combines next-generation halide perovskite semiconductors with electrocatalysts in a single, durable, cost-effective and scalable device. The new technology is a significant step forward for clean energy and could serve as a platform for a wide range of chemical reactions

EPFL tests solar dish reactor to generate hydrogen gas

Engineers at EPFL have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water. The system is not only highly efficient at producing hydrogen, it also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat to put them to use too. Hydrogen is set to be a key player in renewable

Can waste plastic become a useful fuel source in the future?

Worldwide, more than 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year – roughly the same weight as all of humanity. Today, around 85% ends up in landfill or is lost to the environment where it will stay for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. Now the race is on to find the best way to

Researchers at Cambridge developed floating artificial leaves for clean fuels

Researchers from Cambridge University have developed floating artificial leaves that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and are hopeful they could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. The researchers designed ultra-thin, flexible devices, which take their inspiration from photosynthesis – the process by which plants convert sunlight into food. Since the low-cost,
