The road transport sector is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions as it still largely relies on traditional powertrain solutions. While some progress has been made in the passenger car sector with the diffusion of battery electric vehicles heavy-duty transport remains predominantly dependent on diesel internal combustion engines. This research aims to evaluate and compare three potential solutions for the decarbonisation of heavy-duty fr Read More

The present paper offers a thorough examination of the safety measures enforced at hydrogen filling stations emphasizing their crucial significance in the wider endeavor to advocate for hydrogen as a sustainable and reliable substitute for conventional fuels. The analysis reveals a wide range of crucial safety aspects in hydrogen refueling stations including regulated hydrogen dispensing leak detection accurate hydrogen flow measurement emergency s Read More

Climate change is a major concern for the sustainable development of global energy systems. Hydrogen produced through water electrolysis offers a crucial solution by storing and generating renewable energy with minimal environmental impact thereby reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector. Our research evaluates current hydrogen production technologies such as alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) proton exchange membrane water electro Read More

Future power systems in which generation will come almost entirely from variable Renewable Energy Sources (vRES) will be characterized by weather-driven supply and flexible demand. In a simulation of the future Dutch power system we analyze whether there are sufficient incentives for market-driven investors to provide a sufficient level of security of supply considering the profit-seeking and myopic behavior of investors. We cosimulate two agent-based Read More

Blending hydrogen in existing natural gas pipelines compromises steel integrity because it increases fatigue crack growth promotes subcritical cracking and decreases fracture toughness. In this regard several laboratories reported that the fracture toughness measured in a hydrogen containing gaseous atmosphere KIH can be 50% or less than KIC the fracture toughness measured in air. From a pipeline integrity perspective fracture mechanics pre Read More

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) comprising: Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Kuwait Qatar Oman and Bahrain is home to an abundant number of resources including natural gas and solar and wind energy (renewables). Because of this the region is favourably positioned to become a significant player in both blue and green hydrogen production and their export. Current dependence on fossil fuels and ambitious national targets for decarbonisation Read More

Fuel cell hybrid systems due to their combination of the high energy density of fuel cells and the rapid response capability of power batteries have become an important category of new energy vehicles. This paper discusses energy management strategies in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Firstly a detailed comparative analysis of existing PID control strategies and Adaptive Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategies (A-ECMSs) is conducted. It was found that Read More

The low-carbon development of China’s iron and steel industry (ISI) is important but challenging work for the attainment of China’s carbon neutrality by 2060. However most previous studies related to the low-carbon development of China’s ISI are fragmented from different views such as production-side mitigation demand-side mitigation or mitigation technologies. Additionally there is still a lack of a comprehensive overview of the long-term pathway to the lo Read More

Multi-energy systems that combine different energy sources and carriers to improve the overall technical economic and environmental performance can boost the energy transition. In this paper we posit an innovative multi-energy system for green hydrogen production that achieves negative carbon emissions by combining bio-fuel membraneintegrated steam reforming and renewable electricity electrolysis. The system produces green hydrogen and car Read More

Wind-solar hybrid hydrogen production is an effective technique route by converting the fluctuate renewable electricity into high-quality hydrogen. However the intermittency of wind and solar resources also exert chal lenges to the efficient hydrogen production. In order to address this issue this paper developed a day-ahead scheduling strategy based on multi-state transitions of the alkaline electrolyzer(AEL) which improves system flexibility by coordinating Read More
