TRLUP– Towards Net-Zero Emissions: Catalyzing Low-Cost Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen is a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition, offering a zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels for sectors like heavy industry and transport. However, its adoption remains limited due to high production costs—typically $4–6 per kilogram compared to $1–2 for fossil-based hydrogen. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using an electrolyzer powered […]

Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Lower Gas Permeability for Liner Polyethylene in Fiber Reinforced Pipes (FRPs)

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]
