In an era of increasing technological transformation, industries, competitors, and companies are combining platforms to create unique methods for engagement. Survival and growth in a rapidly changing marketplace require companies to embrace internal innovation that adds value for both channel...

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on Ni electrode in artificial seawater was investigated by steady-state polarisation curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods at the room temperature and at high temperatures (30–60oC). The electrochemical kinetics parameters of the HER...

Erneuerbare Energien wie Solar PV und Wind liefern bereits heute Strom zu Vollkosten, die unter denen von konventionellen Anlagen liegen. Daher werden die konventionellen Anlagen zunehmend verdrängt. Die wichtigste Stellschraube ist die Integration der erneuerbaren Energien in den Markt durch...

In an uncertain economic context, the electric vehicle represents a new field of innovation along with the development of business models based on a shared use, but also the increasing importance of technologies related to smart grids. Beyond the technological aspects, we aim to analyze the...

This paper analyzes the impact of changing market structure on environmental research expenditure by investor owned utilities in the US electricity sector for the period 1989-1997. The main finding suggests that after controlling for firm characteristics and the “greenness” of the state,...

As the United States is poised to enter a new era of nuclear power plant construction, it behooves us to revisit some of the controversies of the past and consider how best to deal with some of the major problems that arose once before and may confront us once again as we go down this path. A...

Why do states adopt renewable portfolio standards (“RPSs”)? Many have suggested that RPSs mark a “race to the top,” where states adopt more and more stringent regimes in an effort to compete for clean energy jobs. This article challenges that presumption. It shows, by examining empirical...

Climate change policies call for a radical technological shift in the energy sector. The huge costs of greenhouse gas emissions abatement can be scaled down only if the development of low-carbon technologies will take place at an accelerated pace. But such progress has to confront with a large...

The development of an economy based on practical solar fuels is chiefly predicated on obtaining cheap and abundant hydrogen by using photons to split water, then cooling or compressing that gas; or on combining such hydrogen with carbon dioxide obtained from abundant industrial sources and...
