The UK energy sector is in a transition phase where the UK has set an ambitious goal of net-zero emission by 2050. The UK energy sector needs to adopt innovative strategies and digital technologies to combat challenges such as energy security, affordability, integration of renewable energy, and optimization of the operating cost of the UK’s …
Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental health dangers in the world. Transportation, primarily moving cars, contributes to air pollution significantly, producing 8 billion metric tonnes of CO2 annually, with 74% of this total attributed to them. To enable the electrification of light, medium, and heavy-duty transportation sectors and improve localized air quality while …
Perovskite solar cells have received much interest in recent years due to their high efficiency (more than 25 %) and low cost of production. However, perovskite solar cells have low stability compared to other forms of solar cells, which is one of the critical issues. Stability difficulties can cause a decline in the efficiency of …

Demand Response (DR) enables utilities to reduce or shift consumers’ electricity usage during peak periods, which leads to a major relief in the power grid operation. The DR initiatives can help significantly reduce energy prices as the demand shifts during the high tariff hours. Policymakers and market participants across the globe understand the benefits of …
While accomplishing the global market usage of hydrogen requires addressing numerous concerns, such as hydrogen production, transportation, and application, the primary constraint on the growth of a hydrogen-based energy ecosystem lies in the nonexistence of a perfect hydrogen storage material. Magnesium hydride is very promising among several hydrogen-storage materials because of its high hydrogen capacity, low …
