Investigating the Investments Required to Transition New Zealand’s Heavy-Duty Vehicles to Hydrogen
Mar 2021
Publication
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector is known to be an important contribution to climate change mitigation. Some parts of the transport sector are particularly difficult to decarbonize; this includes the heavy-duty vehicle sector which is considered one of the “hardto-abate” sectors of the economy. Transitioning from diesel trucks to hydrogen fuel cell trucks has been identified as a potential way to decarbonize the sector. Howev Read More
Catalysis as a Driver for Sustainable Technologies in Africa - A Perspective by the Catalysis Institute at the University of Cape Town
Mar 2023
Publication
One of the biggest global challenges we are facing today is the provision of affordable green and sustainable energy to a growing population. Enshrined in multiple United Nation Sustainable Development Goals – Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy; Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and Goal 13: Climate Action – as well as at the core of the Paris Agreement it is our task as scientists and Read More
Energy Advancements and Integration Strategies in Hydrogen and Battery Storage for Renewable Energy Systems
Mar 2025
Publication
The long term and large-scale energy storage operations require quick response time and round-trip efficiency which is not feasible with conventional battery systems. To address this issue while endorsing high energy density long term storage and grid adaptability the hydrogen energy storage (HES) is preferred. This proposed work makes a comprehensive review on HES while synthesizing recent research on energy storage technologies and integration int Read More
Aromatic Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers for Hydrogen Storage and Release
Apr 2023
Publication
Hydrogen production from renewable energy sources has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of critical economic sectors that rely heavily on fossil fuels. Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology has the capability to overcome the limitations associated with conventional hydrogen storage technologies. To date dibenzyltoluene and benzyltoluene are the benchmark LOHC molecules due to the unique hydrogen stora Read More
