Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiary, Woven Planet Holdings Inc, have developed a working prototype of its portable hydrogen cartridge. This cartridge design will facilitate the everyday transport and supply of hydrogen energy to power a broad range of daily life applications in and outside of the home. Toyota and Woven Planet will conduct Proof of Concept trials in various places, including Woven City, a human-centered smart city of the future currently being constructed in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Scientists have developed a stretchable and waterproof 'fabric' that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy.

British independent energy company, Savannah Energy, has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy of the Republic of Chad for the rollout of 500MW of renewable energy projects. The move will see Savannah Energy supplying electricity to the Doba Oil Project as well as the towns of Moundou and Doba in the southern region of the country.

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it's no longer needed. Now, they unveil a new, smart version that is integrated into a coordinated network of soft, flexible, wireless, wearable sensors and control units placed around the upper body.

Researchers, using a new antireflection coating, have successfully increased the efficiency of the best four-junction solar cell to date from 46.1 to 47.6 percent at a concentration of 665 suns. This is a global milestone, as there is currently no solar cell with a higher efficiency worldwide.

China's first salt cavern compressed air energy storage started operations in Changzhou city, East China's Jiangsu province, marking significant progress in the research and application of China's new energy storage technology.

As NASA's exploration continues to push boundaries, a new solar sail concept selected by the agency for development toward a demonstration mission could carry science to new destinations.

A joint team from Arkenlight and Axorus have built the first artificial neuron powered by a Tritium Radiovoltaic micro-power generator. This proof of concept paves the way for long lasting autonomous implanted medical devices.

Thursday 9 June 2022 - What is CO2 utilization and how is CO2 converted into useful products? What is the current state of the CO2U market? What are the key drivers and hurdles for CO2U market growth? What is the CO2U market outlook for the next 20 years?

The self-powered fabric was developed using triboelectric nanogenerators, which use movement to collect the energy needed to power the posture monitoring sensors. The data collected by the sensors is processed by an integrated machine learning algorithm that can provide immediate feedback, alerting the wearer when they need to adjust their posture.

A team of researchers from the UK and Japan has found that the tiny defects which limit the efficiency of perovskites - cheaper alternative materials for solar cells - are also responsible for structural changes in the material that lead to degradation.

The technology group Wärtsilä will collaborate with the Portuguese energy solutions provider and independent power producer Capwatt in the testing of a green hydrogen and natural gas blend fuel for Capwatt power plant located in Maia.

The modular system is suitable for large multi-MW PEM electrolysis plants and applications in the industrial, chemical, and renewable energy sectors. The modular system allows for successive expansion and scaling, as projects are often already designed for later expansion.

EDP Renewables, the world's fourth largest wind energy producer, has entered into an industrial agreement with Lhyfe, a world pioneer in renewable green hydrogen production, to jointly identify, develop, build and manage projects in this business area.

Researchers have created a solar cell with a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination. This is the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured using standard 1-sun conditions.

Researchers have made a major breakthrough in renewable energy technology by producing electricity from so-called 'night-time' solar power. The team generated electricity from heat radiated as infrared light, in the same way as the Earth cools by radiating into space at night.

Electrify America entered into a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement to build a solar photovoltaic renewable energy generation project in California. The new solar project is expected to generate 75 Megawatts at peak solar capacity or an estimated annual production of 225,000 Megawatt hours. It is projected to produce enough 100% renewable energy annually to more than offset the energy currently delivered on an annualized basis to Electrify America's customers charging on its extensive network. The solar project is targeted to be operational by mid-2023.

The SQUAD Solar City Car: a two-seater compact city car that charges itself on solar energy. The SQUAD will be available in 2023 from € 6250 (ex VAT) and can be pre-ordered now. SQUAD is a Dutch innovation, designed to make solar-powered mobility accessible for everyone.

The world's first rapid testing facility for tidal turbine blades, which researchers say can speed up development of marine energy technologies while helping to reduce costs, has opened for business.

imec announces that its Sustainable Semiconductor Technologies and Systems research program succeeded in bringing together stakeholders of the semiconductor value chain, from large system companies such as Apple and Microsoft, to suppliers, including ASM, Kurita, SCREEN and Tokyo Electron.
