Vol. 1 No. 1 (2022): May 2022 Issue

The May 2022 issue of Future Energy brings together research addressing hydrogen energy, the global transition to renewable energy, sustainable transportation, energy efficiency, and power-system reliability. The issue examines the current and future development of the U.S. hydrogen fuel industry, lessons for the transition away from fossil fuels arising from the Russia–Ukraine crisis, and an innovative hydrogen fuel cell-powered drone ambulance for emergency medical services. It also explores using phase change materials to reduce electricity consumption in Bitcoin mining and investigates over-voltage breakdown detection in high-voltage shunt capacitor banks. Together, these studies highlight the broad technological, economic, and infrastructure challenges of building a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
