Conventional lithium-ion batteries are made with flammable materials, posing a risk. However, using an innovative nitrate-based additive, German & Chinese researchers have successfully developed a new quasi solid-state lithium-metal battery that is both stable, potentially long-lasting, with higher energy density and able to be manufactured while maintaining the manufacturing methods used for conventional liquid batteries.https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/nitrate-additive-solid-state-batteries

The Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind farm in Norway has a system capacity of 88 MW and is located about 140 kilometres from shore in water as deep as 300 meters. https://electrek.co/2023/08/23/worlds-largest-floating-offshore-wind-farm/

Hysata believes it has developed an electrolyser more efficient than any other on the market. Now it's taking its technology to the next level and scaling up to 5MW. To put that in context, Australia's largest operational electrolyser at present is the 1.25MW unit at Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA). If successful, Hysata hope to produce 20 x 5MW electrolysers per year, or roughly 100 megawatts worth of generation capacity. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-15/hysata-begins-building-worlds-most-efficient-electrolyser/102729908

Locomotives last a long time. For a new locomotive going into service today, the range of low and zero fuel options available are likely to change far more rapidly that the locomotives can be replaced. So Rail Operations UK have ordered 10 new locomotives with not just 1 or 2 traction options but an amazing 3 options (overhead electrification, battery and/or diesel).This provides not just great decarbonisation benefits but also great operational versatility. https://ww

There are two main arguments against hydrogen use in transportation. The first is that it is mostly generated from fossil fuels, which does not make it helpful against climate change. Second: when it is genuinely green, it is obtained through electrolysis, a process that is only 70% to 80% efficient... Scientists at Tel Aviv University plan to kill that argument with a method that is over 90% efficient in generating green hydrogen.It makes sense that an established automaker will try to keep things as they are, but that will bite them back when competitors find a better way...https://israeltrade.org.au/2023/07/31/israeli-researchers-produce-green-hydrogen-with-90-efficiency-without-electrolysis/
