Stay Updated on the Latest Photosint Breakthroughs

Rolls-Royce presents a new high-speed marine engine powered on 100% methanol. It is a practical signal that methanol can be more than a laboratory curiosity — it can be one of the real fuels of the future.

We are approaching the European Hydrogen Week 2025 (29 SEP – 3 OCT), a major event in hydrogen-related technologies aiming to trigger and reinforce synergies and collaborations among stakeholders across the hydrogen value chain.

One of the biggest challenges in creating a more sustainable industrial future isn’t just creating new technologies, it’s making them work in the real world. The PHOTOSINT project is designed to address this challenge by developing solar-driven technologies for producing alternative fuels and evaluating how they can be applied in real industrial settings.

The PHOTOSINT project is making remarkable progress in its mission to develop cutting-edge solutions for sustainable fuel production. Over the past 18 months, our consortium of researchers, industry leaders, and innovators has been working collaboratively to develop and refine key technologies that will transform how we harness solar energy for clean fuel generation.

Sustainability assessments are powerful tools used to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impacts of a system throughout its lifecycle. Sustainability is a complex concept that encompasses environmental, economic, and social aspects.

The PHOTOSINT project is driving innovation in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for sustainable energy, achieving preliminary success in encapsulation methods that helped retain over 80% of the initial PCE in high-humidity conditions closer to real-world applications.

On September 18th, 2024, PHOTOSINT project partners convened at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ-CERCA) to outline future steps in the development of hydrogen and methanol production from wastewater, CO₂, and sunlight. This consortium meeting marked the first anniversary of the project’s launch, offering an opportunity to reflect on progress and plan for the path ahead.

A new report published by The International Energy Agency (IEA) states that tripling renewable power by 2030 is achievable but requires countries to intensify their energy and climate efforts. Despite national pledges, countries are not on track, with current commitments amounting to just 12% of the COP28 goal. If fully implemented, these pledges would result in 11,000 gigawatts of renewable capacity, led by Europe and China.

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of green energy projects? We bring you an insider's look at the innovative realm of Photosint project.

The European Hydrogen Week 2023 is an annual event that takes place in Brussels. It is organised by a collaborative effort between Hydrogen Europe, the European Commission, and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, which highlighted the crucial role of hydrogen in the ongoing global energy transition.

The IPCC report highlight the need to apply new measures for a net-zero future, this has become an urgent issue.
