As the stability of organic and perovskite solar cells improves, accelerated ageing methods become increasingly essential to elucidate their long-term degradation mechanisms and to predict their real-world operational lifetimes. By effectively applying these underutilized tests, emerging photovoltaic technologies can be de-risked and their time to market can be expedited.
Europe’s approach to energy security has been historically split between the East and West. Given the rapidly evolving geopolitical energy security landscape on the continent, we argue that a comprehensive and shared approach to energy security — which incorporates hard security considerations — is needed.
The growing importance of long-term planning in European Union member states’ energy poverty policies makes it necessary to develop forecasting techniques to support related policy decision-making. The combination of machine learning and econometrics holds promise in the field provided that several crucial challenges are tackled.
Australia’s newly announced national Net Zero Authority offers an opportunity to constructively engage coal communities in planning for a decarbonized future. After years of toxic and dysfunctional climate politics, it is essential that the Authority engages with the complexity of coal and the communities at the heart of transition.
Kathrin Goldammer describes the founding and aims of Women in Green Hydrogen, a global network that seeks to increase the visibility and amplify the voices of women working in the sector.
The efficiency and durability of solar-powered devices for hydrogen production continue to improve, but more large-scale, real-world demonstrations are needed to progress the technology.
Despite increased attention, residential energy insecurity is a widespread and persistent problem in the USA. We commend ongoing investigations, urge scholars to continue to examine why some households disproportionately experience energy insecurity, and offer several lines of inquiry that may help reduce energy insecurity’s incidence and impact.
