Japan keeps lead in solid-state battery development
While China, South Korea, Europe, and the United States are also engaged in active development of all solid-state batteries, Japan is leading the charge, offering generous subsidies to technology proponents.
AM Green, DP World partner on building logistics, storage infrastructure for green molecules
AM Green has partnered with DP World to jointly develop logistics and storage infrastructure to facilitate the global export of 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of green ammonia and 1 mtpa of green methanol from its plants in India.
U.S.-made perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules could be produced at around $0.35/W
Techno-economic analysis conducted by NREL researchers has shown how perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules could currently hardly compete in cost with incumbent PV panels. Production costs for U.S.-made tandem products were found to range between $0.29/W and $0.42/W, with module efficiencies ranging from 25% to 30%.
Field testing shows perovskite solar modules can retain 78% of their initial efficiency after one year
Researchers from Belgium and the University of Cyprus have completed outdoor stability tests of perovskite solar mini-modules providing two-years of data on stability performance. The tests showed that the modules’ performance loss rates during the burn-in period of perovskites ranged between 7% and 8% per month.
