#Hydrogen fuel at half the cost? Scientists reveal a game-changing catalyst https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/06/250620231645.htm
ScienceDailyHydrogen fuel at half the cost? Scientists reveal a game-changing catalystResearchers in South Korea have developed a powerful and affordable new material for producing hydrogen, a clean energy source key to fighting climate change. By fine-tuning boron-doping and phosphorus levels in cobalt phosphide nanosheets, the team dramatically boosted the efficiency of both sides of water-splitting reactions. This advancement could unlock scalable, low-cost hydrogen production, transforming how we generate clean fuel.
Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/06/20/ireland-coal-free-ends-coal-power-generation-moneypoint/
pv magazine InternationalIreland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in EuropeMoneypoint in County Clare, Ireland, joins the ranks of other European nations exiting coal by shutting off power generation at its sole remaining coal plant. Industry observers say Ireland’s increased renewable energy generation in recent years, particularly in wind, has contributed to this milestone. Moneypoint now functions as a backup oil burner under emergency instruction, but it is no longer active in the wholesale electricity market.
