The Hydrogen Stream: World’s largest electrolyzer to be deployed in Norway
HydrogenPro is set to install the world’s largest electrolyzer in Norway, while Siemens is preparing to commission Germany’s second biggest electrolyzer.
New models to predict crop yields in agrivoltaics
A Swedish-Italian research group has applied state-of-the-art models for global horizontal irradiance decomposition to assess photosynthetically active radiation in agrivoltaic projects – an important variable to properly predict crop yield.
Evolar claims 25-year stability for perovskite cells
Evolar, a Swedish manufacturing startup, has put its perovskite cell technology through industry-standard accelerated reliability testing. It said its results show that the cells would likely remain stable for more than 25 years in the field.
Rising number of grid-connected PV systems shows 2022 could be another record year for Swedish solar
Data from the Swedish association Svensk Solenergi shows some 21,500 PV systems were installed in the first half of the year, with a 90% growth compared to the same period a year earlier. The trade body also expects a substantial upswing in the spring of 2023.
Storing renewables via radial-flow packed bed thermal energy storage
Researchers in Sweden have created a thermal energy storage system relying on a dynamic air mass flow rate that is applied during both charge and discharge processes. It achieved a maximum thermal efficiency of around 70%.
Swedish consortium completes rock cavern for green hydrogen storage
Vattenfall and its partners have finished building a 100-cubic-meter underground facility to store green hydrogen.
Waste heat from hydrogen production for district heating
The use of waste heat from hydrogen production in district heating could increase the attractiveness of green hydrogen, according to new research from Sweden.
The Hydrogen Stream: Romania calls for green hydrogen projects
Romania has unveiled a state aid scheme to support investments in the production of hydrogen powered by solar, hydro and wind, while Air Products and Gunvor have agreed to build a hydrogen import terminal in Rotterdam.
Four-mode hydrogen plant to accommodate renewables
Bio-FlexGen, an EU research project, seeks to develop a combined heat and power plant (CHP) system with hourly, daily and seasonal flexibility via hydrogen production from biomass.
Business models for Swedish solar
Swedish researchers have identified six business models for the country’s solar market and highlighted how companies differ significantly in their approaches from policymakers and scientists. They analyzed data from 241 solar companies.
