A research team at the University of Strathclyde aimed to take a fresh look at renewable power.
University of Strathclyde researchers say that solar energy can be converted into hydrogen fuel so that it can be stored as a renewable fuel.
This strategy makes it possible to produce H2 emission-free and store power generated by PV cells.
The researchers are aiming to find solutions for clean and affordable electricity in order to eliminate the reliance on fossil fuels and the greenhouse gas emissions produced through their use.
The UK Government has announced that among its plans to replace fossil fuels will be, to a large degree, will be to use storable hydrogen fuel. That said, to do this and also achieve decarbonization goals, the cost of hydrogen fuel made using renewable power will need to be brought to a competitive level.
Currently, the majority of H2 is blue hydrogen, which is…
