Bifacial Perovskite Solar Cells Point to Higher Efficiency

A bifacial perovskite solar cell, which allows sunlight to reach both sides of the device, holds the potential to produce higher energy yields at lower overall costs, according to scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The dual nature of a bifacial solar cell enables the capture of direct sunlight on the front and the capture of reflected sunlight on the back, allowing this type of device to outperform its monofacial counterparts. “This perovskite cell can operate very effectively from either side,” said Kai Zhu, a senior scientist in the Chemistry and Nanoscience Center at NREL and lead author of a new paper published in the journal Joule: “Highly efficient bifacial single-junction perovskite solar cells.” His co-authors from NREL...

Hydrom Signs $20 bn Deals for Green Hydrogen in Oman

Omani hydrogen company Hydrom has signed agreements to develop green hydrogen projects requiring an investment of $20 billion, according to news from the Gulf nation's state news agency. Three memoranda of understanding were signed, with BP Oman, Amnah consortium and the Green Energy Oman alliance, the report said. Together, the projects are expected to generate 500,000 metric tons of green hydrogen a year from more than 12 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity. Oman's announcement comes as countries in the Middle East ramp up investments in renewables as they seek to transition from fossil-fuel-funded economies. Last month, Saudi Arabia's NEOM Green Hydrogen achieved financial closure on an $8.4 billion green hydrogen facility that will produce 600 metric tons per day of carbon-...
