Second, contrary to theoretical expectations, geopolitical risks show positive associations with renewable energy investments, suggesting that energy security considerations may accelerate rather than impede renewable transitions.

Catalysts based on noble metals (Pt, Pd for HER and Ir, Ru for OER) are efficient and benchmark towards water electrolysis, but high cost, scarcity, and lower stability prevent their applicability for industrial application. Up to now, rare earth/transition metal catalysts are still not more efficient and durable for water electrolysis. Herein, we report a Nd<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub>–Mn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> heterojunction assembled on stainless steel (SS) using a hydrothermal method to ameliorate the properties of electrocatalysts via interface engineering for HER, OER, and overall water splitting. Under comparison with two pure electrocatalysts (Nd<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> and Mn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), the full water splitting performance is checked in 3 and 2-electrolysis systems using the alkaline medium.

This study aims to investigate by using CFD modelling a hydrogen fuelled marine dual-fuel engine to identify operating settings ranges for different hydrogen energy fractions (HEF), as well as parametrically optimise the diesel fuel injection timing and temperature at inlet valve closing (IVC). A large marine four-stroke engine with nominal power of 10.5 MW at 500 rev/m is considered, assuming operation at 90 % load and hydrogen injection in the cylinders intake ports. CFD models are developed for several operating scenarios in both diesel and dual-fuel modes. The models are validated against measured data for the engine diesel mode and literature data for a hydrogen-fuelled light-duty engine. A convergence study is conducted to select the grid compromising between computational effort and accuracy. Parametric runs for 20 %, 40 % and 60 % HEF with different IVC temperature and diesel start of injection are modelled to quantify the engine performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics. A single parameter optimisation is conducted to determine the most effective pilot diesel injection timings. The results reveal the IVC temperature range for stable hydrogen combustion to avoid incomplete combustion at low IVC temperature and knocking above 360 K. The proposed settings lead to higher peak heat release rate and in-cylinder pressure compared to the diesel mode without exceeding the permissible in-cylinder pressure rise limits for 60 % HEF. However, NOx emissions increase to 12.9 g/kWh in the dual-fuel mode. The optimal start of injection (SOI) for the diesel fuel, in the case of 60 % HEF, is found 8 °CA BTDC resulting in an indicated thermal efficiency of 43.2 % and stable combustion. Advancing SOI beyond the optimal value results in incomplete combustion.
