'World's cheapest green hydrogen' | Started with ultra-efficient electrolyzer to develop pilot plant after securing $29 million | Refillable

Australian startup Hysata, which says it has developed the world’s most efficient electrolyzer, has raised A$42.5 million ($29.4 million) in an oversubscribed Series A funding round. The money will be used to develop the company’s team and “develop a pilot manufacturing facility” for the innovative “capillary” technology, which it says will be able to deliver “the world’s lowest-cost green hydrogen” due to its superior efficiency. . In simple terms, the biggest element of the levelised cost of green hydrogen (LCOH) is the cost of renewable electricity used, so that less power is required for the electrolyzer to produce every kilogram of H 2 the lower the LCOH. Hysata says the capillary-fed electrolyzer (CFE) only requires 41.5 kWh of electricity per kg of hydrogen. The industry benchmark for highly efficient electrolyzers is 50kWh/kg. “Hysata’s electrolyzers operate at 95% system efficiency (41.5 kWh/kg), delivering a huge leap in performance and cost over older technologies, which

The Birmingham Games started with a message to the majority of Commonwealth countries that still criminalize same-sex relations

When British diver Tom Daley entered Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium during the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, he made a powerful statement. The Olympic champion was the first athlete to carry the Queen’s Scepter, and she was flanked by athletes and activists waving the Pride Progress flag — to raise awareness of the 35 Commonwealth member states that criminalize same-sex relations. It is part of a broader campaign to spark Commonwealth-wide reforms. “There are more countries in the Commonwealth that criminalize homosexuality than not,” Pride House Birmingham (PHB) co-founder Lou Englefield told ABC Sport. “So the Commonwealth Games is a unique opportunity for LGBTQI+ activists like myself and my colleagues to highlight these issues, and try to have a discussion about these things.” This is the third time there has been a Pride House at the Commonwealth Games.

Risa Mickenberg lives in a New York City-style apartment, but she prefers to call the place by another name: her “cave.” Despite being around eight million other people, Mickenberg avoids many social connections and relationships. Instead, he enjoys time in his cave or experiences the outside world alone. And he’s not the only one living like this. Ms Mickenberg is the founder of “Hermettes”, a secret society of like-minded women who reclaim and celebrate female solitude. “Women’s solitude is a taboo subject… [But] I think this lifestyle needs to be idealized,” he told ABC RN’s Sunday Extra. ‘Nothing is more valuable’ For most of her life, Ms Mickenberg was very friendly. He is an accomplished writer and director, working in film, TV, theater and advertising. Also on his CV: Lead singer of eight power pop bands called Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse (with songs including ‘Connecticut’s For F**king’).
