The Hydrogen Stream: Harvard researchers say H2 costs underestimated

Harvard University researchers say hydrogen costs are underestimated due to unaccounted storage and distribution variability across sectors, while Kore Infrastructure has told pv magazine that it aims to reach a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of between $1/kg and $2/kg.

EWEC opens 1.5 GW solar tender in Abu Dhabi

Through the procurement exercise, the Emirates Water and Electricity Co. (EWEC ) is planning to build a giant solar farm in the Al Dhafra Region.

Standalone PV-hydrogen-battery system for EV charging

Researchers in Pakistan have tested several configurations of an offgrid PV-hydrogen system intended to power EV chargers. The system achieved the lowest levelized cost of electricity when it was combined with battery storage.

Offgrid hybrid PV-biogas system for residential applications

The system was conceived to respond to Lebanon’s energy crisis and help homeowners become independent from grid electricity. Biogas production is used when PV power generation is insufficient and machine learning techniques help the system predict solar energy production.

EDF, Masdar secure financing for 1.5 GW of solar near Abu Dhabi

EDF Renewables, Korea Western Power Co. (Kowepo), and Masdar have secured financing to build a 1.5 GW solar plant near Abu Dhabi, backed by a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Emirates Water and Electricity Co.

Gstar commits to 2 GW solar module factory in UAE

New direct lightning protection design for east-west rooftop PV systems

Scientists in the Emirates have developed a novel lightning mast layout that reportedly eliminates shading effect on PV panels. The proposed approach also addresses earth grid requirements under varying moisture conditions.

The Hydrogen Stream: Canada, Italy announce funds for hydrogen trade, infrastructure

Canada and Italy announced funds for hydrogen projects. Meanwhile, a team of researchers explained that Australia should ship hydrogen to Japan by 2030 via methyl cyclohexane (MCH) or liquid ammonia (LNH3), not completely rejecting the option of liquid hydrogen (LH2).

EWEC issues requests for proposals for 400 MW BESS project

The UAE’s Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) says 27 companies and consortiums that expressed interest in developing the project qualified for this stage of the tender.

The Hydrogen Stream: Europe could miss 2030 hydrogen targets

The European Court of Auditors says the European Union will likely fail to achieve its 2030 renewable hydrogen goals, while the US Department of Energy and Arches have agreed to build a $12.6 billion hydrogen hub in California.
