During European Hydrogen Week, stakeholders discussed the achievements of EU-funded flagship projects advancing hydrogen technology in the transport sector.
An EU-backed project team is developing lightweight, energy-smart insulating glass units that could achieve up to 70 % energy savings in heating and cooling.
The latest turbine deployed at the Shetland Tidal Array is playing its part in reducing tidal energy costs by a third, making tidal energy competitive with fossil fuels.
An EU-funded research team released the initial results of its first geothermal electricity production field test in an oil well in France.
Using satellite infrared observations, researchers have generated more accurate estimates of the oceans’ annual uptake of CO2. It’s much worse than previous estimates showed.
EU-funded researchers have found their CO2-based heating and cooling solutions a good fit for stores operating in a southern European climate.
How are EU-backed researchers working to make heating, cooling and electricity supply in residential buildings cheaper and more environmentally friendly? By developing innovative systems based on heat pumps with natural refrigerants and multiple renewable sources.
An EU initiative is making great strides in developing a decentralised and cost-efficient energy trading platform to create climate-friendly and sustainable urban environments.
A group of experts has identified various barriers to the execution of the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle in energy planning, policymaking and investment decisions throughout Europe.
An outdoor art exhibition displays murals painted on renovated Soviet-era buildings. The paintings’ history is displayed in Estonian and English, highlighting their relevance for both citizens and visitors.
Liquid organic hydrogen carriers are one of the most suitable options for transporting hydrogen over long distances. The HySTOC project has been using novel materials to increase their storage capacity, reduce their cost and make them even safer.
A team of EU-funded researchers has analysed the effects of climate change on air conditioning (AC) use and its inevitable impact on electricity consumption.
An EU initiative is supporting the development of an assembly solution for manufacturers of building-integrated photovoltaic (PV) panels.
Partners of an EU-funded initiative are integrating innovative technologies to recover water and minerals of sufficient purity and quality from brine for reuse in various industries.
Power suppliers, technology providers, researchers and steel industry partners have launched a pilot plant to produce hydrogen using electricity from renewables.
An EU initiative has released a report on adopted solutions and recommendations addressing environmental concerns over geothermal power production.
In a recent biofuel trial, a car reached 80 kph powered by seaweed-based fuel.
A Slovenian village has taken a major step in lowering electricity costs and tackling outages.
In our special feature on nuclear power in April 2019, we met Xiaoyang Gaus-Liu, technical coordinator of ALISA, a project that had at its heart the aim of better cementing European and Chinese cooperation in the field of nuclear safety and new research opportunities. We reconnect with her to see how she has been continuing her work over one year later.
EU-funded experts are developing circular business models for photovoltaic (PV) systems to deliver environmental, economic and user benefits.
