WOW! VTT has been selected as the first-ever foreign partner to join a research program funded by the US Department of Energy, focusing on commercialisation of fusion energy.   VTT brings its expertise in computational materials engineering and AI-based simulation methods for testing the durability of materials in extreme conditions by simulating hundreds of millions of computational experiments.   Again, it is not just about energy but about how we will harness future energy to produce carbon-free fuels and fertilizers and even supplement traditional agriculture with bioreactors. This all will make societies more self-sufficient and less dependent on imports.   https://lnkd.in/dWjG3cPD

I LOVE working with scientists and engineers! Climate and Carbon discussions are my jam but without my team's technical expertise and know-how I would only be guessing. 🤯 Climate is a team sport. Thank you to those who teach me and patiently explain complex concepts (without making me feel less-than) so that I can do my marketing and branding magic from an informed perspective.

A new analysis by University of Wyoming researchers examines the impacts of current federal economic incentives on large-scale, blue hydrogen production technologies and estimates the expected outcomes in long-term expenses as those hydrogen production pathways evolve. The research, titled “Technological Evolution of Large-Scale Blue Hydrogen Production Toward the U.S. Hydrogen Energy Earthshot,” was led by Haibo Zhai, the Roy and Caryl Cline Distinguished Chair in Engineering and a professor in the UW College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. The study appears in the journal Nature Communications, a peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal that covers the natural sciences. Wanying Wu, Zhai’s UW Ph.D. student, was lead author. Launched in 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Earthshots Initiative aims to accelerate breakthroughs of more abundant, affordable and reliable clean energy solutions within the decade by reducing the cost of clean hydrogen production and deployment. The ambitious goal of the program is to reduce production costs of hydrogen by 80 percent to $1 per kilogram of hydrogen in a decade. Keep reading at https://bit.ly/3zDoqdh to discover more!

I'm excited to share one of the research projects I undertook during my master's program in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. This project, conducted through the Laboratory for Intelligent Integrated Networks of Engineering Systems (LIINES) under the guidance of Professor Farid, focused on the sustainable energy transition and the hydrogen economy. Our research leveraged the Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model to challenge several assumptions within the model. We developed multiple case studies to assess the true life cycle impacts of hydrogen production, with a particular focus on electrolyzer stacks utilizing grid energy. We also incorporated Electricity Maps into the case studies, which provided real-time disaggregate emissions data for various regions in the United States. This enabled us to accurately model the time-varying carbon intensity associated with hydrogen production. One of our key case studies examined the potential for these stacks to take advantage of the clean hydrogen production tax credit, which incentivizes clean hydrogen production with up to $3.00 per kilogram of clean hydrogen. Our findings suggest that hydrogen technologies, such as electrolyzers, can significantly enhance their environmental performance through "carbon-friendly" scheduling. This research underscores the importance of refining life cycle models in the context of real-time operations, providing valuable insights for the adoption of sustainable energy technologies. Thank you to everyone who supported and collaborated with me throughout this journey, especially Professor Farid and the LIINES team. I look forward to continuing to explore and contribute to the field of sustainable energy systems. #SustainableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #LifeCycleAssessment #SystemsEngineering #CyberPhysicalSystems #LIINES #Research #ClimateChange #CleanHydrogen
