Assessing floating PV costs across Europe
Researchers have analyzed the viability of floating PV in terms of net present value, internal rate of return, and LCOE. They included 25 European countries in their work, including Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy.
The Hydrogen Stream: Uniper opens hydrogen pilot in Germany
Uniper says it has launched its Hydrogen Pilot Cavern (HPC) Krummhörn plant in Germany with nearly 500,000 cubic meters of green hydrogen storage, while Air Liquide has inaugurated a 20 MW electrolysis plant in Oberhausen, Germany.
Direct vs. indirect coupling in PV-driven hydrogen generation
Researchers in Spain have made a comparative analysis of annual PV-powered hydrogen production for direct and indirect configurations and have found that indirect systems not only produce more hydrogen but also that they show higher resilience to module power losses.
