University of Copenhagen and the Danish Technical University (DTU) enters into a broad partnership representing academia, the health-sector, government, industry, investors and innovation ecosystem actors to boost the development of the Innovation District Copenhagen.

A recent study from Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University found that while hydrogen production, storage and fuel cell technologies are advancing rapidly, the hydrogen distribution infrastructure is developing at half the speed, creating a critical bottleneck that could put billions in clean energy at risk.  

The findings, published in the journal Sustainable Futures, are an important milestone in recognising that, while other hydrogen technologies improve and costs fall, distribution expenses could take up a large share of hydrogen system budgets, significantly limiting overall efficiency and growth of the hydrogen sector.

The research team analysed 777,000 patents and 1.3 million citations spanning 182 years of hydrogen technology development, revealing clear differences in progress across the system.

Last year alone, the U.S. Treasury auctioned off $28 trillion in securities. But investors may not always be so willing to take U.S. IOUs, according to new research from Mindy Xiaolan, associate professor of finance at Texas McCombs. She finds the U.S. government’s fiscal capacity — its ability to raise money — depends on the dominance of the U.S. dollar. Her research highlights potential losses U.S. government bondholders could face if another currency ever replaces the dollar as the global reserve currency.
