Australian scientists have demonstrated a flexible perovskite solar cell using roll-to-roll compatible “printing” type processes, which could potentially be applied in large-scale manufacturing. Of particular note is the development of a viable roll-to-roll process to deposit the electrode layer, which has thus far been a major challenge. Cells fabricated by the group achieved a maximum efficiency of 16.7%.
Mining magnate Andrew Forrest’s Fortescue Future Industries continues its campaign to be one of the world’s largest clean energy companies, with new plans to develop a 9.2 GW wind and solar facility in Egypt to power green hydrogen production.
Scientists in Australia have developed a new way to produce hydrogen using water from the atmosphere. They claim their new module can ensure stable performance and provide green hydrogen for remote areas.
The government of New South Wales, Australia, has announced funding for five pumped hydro schemes spread across the state, as it looks to deliver large-scale energy storage and firming capacity.
SunDrive, an Australian solar technology company, has achieved 26.41% efficiency with a full-size silicon cell using heterojunction technology.
Haystacks, Australia’s first large-scale solar garden, has opened up solar “plots” for households in New South Wales that are unable to install rooftop systems.
H2X Global has released the first of its hydrogen-powered generators in the Australian market.
Renewable energy investors have proposed more than 40 new clean energy projects, or about 17 GW of capacity, for a coordinated “renewable energy zone” to be built in New South Wales, Australia.
Germany has launched the world’s first operational hydrogen trains and US researchers have presented a novel design for a tubular PEM fuel cell. ABB and Hydrogen Optimized, meanwhile, have expanded their strategic ties and Slovakia has moved forward with a major gas-blending pilot project.
The biggest battery yet connected to the grid in Queensland has commenced full commercial operations with developer Vena Energy announcing it has flicked the switch on the 100 MW/150 MWh Wandoan South battery energy storage system in the state’s south-west.
