We had a great time discussing clean ammonia for energy storage, combustion, and different novel production methods in the workshop!
Our research group receives a New Frontiers in Research Fund - Exploration on "Ammonia as an energy 'currency' to connect the food, energy and trade sectors." This project aims to help improve understanding of low-carbon ammonia's role as a connecting currency and develop a scalable electrochemical power-to-ammonia process with no carbon emissions. Congratulations!
A new paper titled "Electrocatalytic Disproportionation of Nitric Oxide Toward Efficient Nitrogen Fixation" is now published in Advanced Energy Materials. Using a bipolar membrane, the process effectively converts nitric oxide to ammonia and nitrates. We analyzed the techno-economics of the process. Congratulations, Jinhe!
We have conducted a detailed study on an offshore wind power-to-ammonia system. You can find the detailed component sizing, production cost and carbon emissions of the system in the paper. Congratulations, Carlo!
Our group receives a 2022 Transition Pathways research grant to study the potential of connecting fuel cell electric vehicles (#FCEVs) to the grid, suppoted by the Transition Accelerator.
In the 14th International Green Energy Conference, Mike and Ankit presented their works "Hybrid battery and hydrogen energy storage for a 100% wind power microgrid" and "Sustainability assessment of ethylene production from waste sewage sludge," respectively. And Mike won the "Best Student Presentation Honorable Mention"! Congratulations to both Mike and Ankit!
Our paper Electrified ammonia production as a commodity and energy storage medium to connect the food, energy, and trade sectors is accepted in iScience! Congratulations to Milind and Rithu!
XiaoYu is invited to talk in the 5th Canada’s Innovation Corridor Summit, "Transition to Net-Zero" on June 29, 2022. His talk "Hydrogen production, storage, and distribution for net-zero transition" will share his experience and insights on producing, storing, and distributing hydrogen, and discuss how we can use hydrogen to speed up the transition towards a net-zero economy. He will also highlight results from relevant projects in our research group.
Professor XiaoYu Wu joined the editorial board of the International Journal of Green Energy. Congratulations!
The Canada’s Rising Stars in Electrochemical Systems Symposium will take place virtually on April 28 - 29, 2022. XiaoYu is invited to give a talk on Mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes for CO2 reduction and chemical production. The talk will be at 12:15 pm on April 28. Please check it out!
