When it comes to advanced technology, protein exchange membrane has its beginnings in the space program. When you break everything you will soon find that the objective was to try and prove out new tech that would be used for the Apollo moon mission. Of course, NASA scientists have to do what they can to try and make each piece of tech last longer than the battery packs that they currently had. At the time, one thing to take note of is that the hydrogen would eventually be passed to a PEM fuel cell. This is going to be used to generate a lot of power for electrical equipment. This approach was very successful and it just goes to show how beneficial the scheme would be for NASA overall. They are doing a lot of work to ensure that everything is durable and reliable. PEMS have continued to improve since and the application has also expanded. PEM electrolysis has become a leading method when it comes to chor-alkali production. This is based on the operating scheme that is similar to water electrolysis. The only difference is that the fluid is going to be a concentrated brine solution.

Of course, when you look at all of the advancements that have been made over the years it is really not hard to see how things have changed for the better. If improvements can continue to be made then this will bolster the industry and make it much easier for people to succeed. At the end of the day, only time will tell what is going to be in for the future of the sector but right now it looks like more has to be done to ensure the longevity of the sector so that things can be better for the future.

Plug Power’s stock has halved a they came out to say that they have cast a lot of doubt over their ability to survive over the next year. In the filing, it seems that Plug Power are going to be using existing cash but it is not enough for them to fund their operations. They have great concerns over the next 12 months and it’s not surprising to see why. Plug Power have said time and time again that they want to alleviate the liquidity pressure and that this includes lack of securities or the incurrance of debt. It also covers other financing alternatives too. The company have come out to say that they are doing everything they can to try and bolster their earnings and that it has been a difficult quarter for them. With that in mind, more has to be done to try and make sure that plant outages do not become an issue going forward. Of course, with fuel or without it, there is going to be a limited supply for the coming months. Andy Marsh has said on a few recent episodes that they are going to be discussing green hydrogen as well as the inflation reduction act. Plug Power are one of the seven hydrogen hub projects and they have done nothing but grow ever since. They have put a lot of work into making sure that they achieve their goals and it is remarkable to see how far they have come. With that in mind they need to step up their game and make sure that they do not succumb to the same issues that have claimed so many other companies this year. Keep up with this story if you want to know more.

Rolls-Royce have announced that they have completed compatibility tests using sustainable aviation fuel. This is said to be compatible when it comes to producing in-production aero engines. When you look at what Rolls-Royce have had to say, you will find that they are fulfilling a commitment that they made a few years ago. They want to do their best to show that there are no tech barriers when it comes to using 100% SAF. At the end of the day, ground tests have been done and they have shown that the company's facility have now completed a test regime. Other engines have been tested as a result of the program to see what potential it has. A ground test involves in-service conditions which have all confirmed the use of 100% SAF. This doesn't affect engine performance either. In a statement that has been carried out, Simon burr who is the head of Tech and Safety has come out to say that this is a milestone, not just for the company but for the whole aerospace industry.

People do have hopes that the success of the tests is going to provide a level of validation and that this is going to support those who want to invest in the product and SAF in the future. It looks like SAF is going to continue later on this month and that Trent 1000 engines are going to end up powering the Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787. This is great to say the least as it just goes to show how far tech has come and what can be done to ensure that people are given the support they need to make a real difference in this world. Only time will tell what the future holds but it's looking bright.

Right now, it seems that the foundation is in place for a mega cooling tower. The foundation for the first ultra-large nuclear power plan has been laid and it is going to be placed in China. State Power Investment Corp have made the announcement and they have also said that a lot of work is going to be done to ensure that everyone is happy. The final concrete for the foundation has been poured and the foundation is over 10 metres wide. It is also 2m thick. A lot of concrete was required to lay the foundation to make sure that it is going to be stable enough to support the structure. When it's been completed, the cooling tower is going to have a height of over 218 metres and the diameter is going to be around 175 metres too. When you look at the water spraying area of the tower, you will soon find that it consists of inclined pillars, inlet, tower tube and more. You also have a water distribution system, a heat exchanger and more.

The application of secondary circulation and cooling tech is really popular right now and it is going to provide a lot of environmental benefits. Of course, when you look at nuclear power projects in general, you will soon find that China is going to provide a lot of demonstrations and references when it comes to the overall development of things and this is great to say the least. The nuclear power plants in China are thriving right now and the first phase of this power project is underway. Only time will tell what the future holds but right now it's safe to say that things are looking up and bright times are ahead for the power sector.
