Analyzing the net energy of photoeletrochemical hydrogen production
Berkeley CA (SPX) Jul 04, 2013
A paper by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and colleagues examining the net energy of a hydrogen-generating technology, which is still in development in the lab, is one of last week's "Hot Articles" in the refereed journal Energy and Environmental Science. Net energy is the amount of hydrogen produced minus the energy required to manufacture the technology. The paper, by scientists in the Environmental Energy Technologies (EETD), and the Joint Center for Arti ... read more
