The teams will develop digital twin technologies for robust O&M strategies that can facilitate, among other things, more flexible operations for integration into an electrical grid with a large fraction of intermittent generation resources. Nuclear energy is considered by many to be critical to achieving emissions reduction goals.

Researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) report in the journal Angewandte Chemie their development of an enhanced platinum catalyst for the steam reforming of methanol to release hydrogen. In this scenario, excess renewable electricity can be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen. intermittency). Bösmann, A.,

Researchers at Ohio State University are working in collaboration with the inventor to understand the science behind a new flash-processing treatment that produces steel at least 7% stronger and with 30% greater elongation than published results on martensitic advanced high-strength steel. Steel is what we would call a mature technology.
