One of the main challenges of e-mobility roll-out is securing the required charging demand without stressing the existing power grid. The electrical source must be non-conventional to achieve the ultimate eco-friendly goal.

Research Highlights
Life Cycle Assessment Of Clean Ammonia Synthesis From Thermo-Catalytic Solar Cracking Of Liquefied Natural Gas
Ammonia is considered a sustainable energy storage medium with zero carbon content. In this work, thermal catalytic cracking of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at elevated temperatures employing concentrated solar tower is considered to produce clean hydrogen (CO2-free) and studied in terms of life cycle emissions.
Review On Cox-Free Hydrogen From Methane Cracking: Catalysts, Solar Energy Integration And Applications
Hydrogen fuel production from methane cracking is a sustainable process compared to the ones currently in practice due to minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon black that is co-produced is a valuable product and can be marketed to other industries.
SunReis (Sustainable Utilization of Novel Renewable Energy Integration & Storage)
SunReis (Sustainable Utilization of Novel Renewable Energy Integration & Storage) is a research group at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar, led by Dr. Yusuf Bicer. The acronym is derived from 'sunrays', where “reis” means leader/president in Arabic and Turkish. The group’s research interests include sustainability, energy storage, energy carriers, hydrogen, ammonia, integrated energy systems, cooling, desalination, carbon capture & management and renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and ocean.
