The role of hydrogen and fuel cells in the global energy system
Iain Staffell,Daniel Scamman,Anthony Velazquez Abad,Paul Balcombe,Paul E. Dodds,Paul Ekins,Nilay Shah,Kate R. Ward +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the potential role that hydrogen could play in the provision of electricity, heat, industry, transport and energy storage in a low-carbon energy system, and an assessment of the status of hydrogen in being able to fulfil that potential is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to decarbonise international shipping: Options for fuels, technologies and policies
Paul Balcombe,James Brierley,Chester Lewis,Line Skatvedt,Jamie Speirs,Adam Hawkes,Iain Staffell +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a holistic assessment of these options and their combined potential to decarbonise international shipping, from a technology, environmental and policy perspective, by estimating the combined decarbonisation potential of multiple options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levelized cost of CO2 mitigation from hydrogen production routes
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative costs of carbon mitigation from a life cycle perspective for 12 different hydrogen production techniques using fossil fuels, nuclear energy and renewable sources by technology substitution are examined, and the results show that there is a tradeoff between the cost of mitigation and the proportion of decarbonization achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motivations and barriers associated with adopting microgeneration energy technologies in the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed current understanding of motivations and barriers that affect microgeneration adoption with the aim of identifying opportunities for improving the uptake of microgeneration energy technologies, and found that although feed-in tariffs have increased the uptake, policies do not sufficiently address the most significant barrier -capital costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water electrolysis: from textbook knowledge to the latest scientific strategies and industrial developments
Marian Chatenet,Bruno G. Pollet,Dario R. Dekel,Fabio Dionigi,Jonathan Deseure,Pierre Millet,Richard D. Braatz,Martin Z. Bazant,Michael Eikerling,Iain Staffell,Paul Balcombe,Yang Shao-Horn,Helmut Schäfer +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a review of the fundamentals of electrocatalytically initiated water splitting and the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research, also covering specifications and special features of the current industrial processes and those processes currently being tested in large-scale applications.
