Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, greater quantity in water. It is considered as a holy grail in the energy community. It is an advanced renewable energy source and carrier produced from other energy sources. It also offers a high value of gravimetric energy compared to gasoline (i.e., 120 MJ/kg versus 44 […]

Lead is very cheap and abundant; most importantly it is globally recycled about 99% In our daily life, we are totally depending upon power whether it is an electric vehicle, mobile charger or laptop charger, they always carry a letter ‘V’ means Volt -the electricity unit named after the physicist Alessandro Volta. This physicist developed

Several advantages and challenges in using hydrogen as fuel were addressed in our previous article. There is no doubt in hydrogen’s ability to fill the shoes of a clean and efficient fuel that we expect. However, due to technological, sourcing, political, policy-making, and safety reasons, it might take a while before hydrogen could replace the

The world is so much used to high energy security with availability on demand. Almost all the energy requirement in this globe is centrally sourced or produced, however, we are moving towards decentralized solar and wind energy. To ensure net zero carbon emission, it is mandatory to immediately step on to these renewables. The sunlight

Hydrogen was probably the first chemical we learned in our middle school chemistry lectures. It was taught as the smallest and simplest of elements. Its simple structure had nothing more than an electron and a proton, making it a student-friendly chemical element. Nevertheless, little did we know that the element we had all taken for
Power grids are expected to undergo significant change in operation as more non conventional sources of energy being integrated into it. While the broad goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to recognize that many such sources are not very deterministic and hence cannot be relied upon to give power as and when needed.
