Environmental Industry
A wide and ever expanding range of green technologies are bringing improvements to the atmosphere and our environment, reducing carbon output, and promoting sustainable technologies. Technical ceramics have long played an important role in the environmental industry, such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, hydrogen powered vehicles, heat pumps, biofuel, and tidal energy. The wide variety of technical ceramics available offer properties to solve multiple problems, thermal insulation, thermal conductance, mechanical, electrical insulation, sliding wear and chemical resistance. Many combinations of these offer solutions to some of the world’s most challenging problems.

Ceramics for Fuel Cells
There are many types of Fuel Cells, but most follow the basic principle of creating an electrochemical cell that has a continuous fuel source supplied. Unlike a battery where the fuel is inbuilt and finite, the chemical energy, hydrogen for example, and oxidising agent then create a continuous chemical reaction. The flow of positively charged hydrogen ions flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte and a second direct current circuit flows ...
