Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark visits the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham

The video discusses the challenges of battery life and cooling in robots, highlighting the impact of fast charging. It then explores a project with Unilever to integrate fuel cells in refrigeration trucks, using generated heat for cooling. Finally, it covers the development of high-temperature fuel cells that can be fueled by renewable sources like biogas and bioethanol.

What is a potential downside of fast charging a battery?

• It improves cooling efficiency.

• It reduces the battery's lifetime.

• It extends the battery's lifetime.

• It increases the battery's capacity.

What is the purpose of integrating a fuel cell into a refrigeration truck?

• To increase the truck's speed.

• To use heat for the cooling cycle and generate extra power.

• To reduce the truck's weight.

• To improve the truck's aerodynamics.

What is one benefit of using a fuel cell in a truck?

• It increases the truck's fuel consumption.

• It reduces idle time by providing extra power.

• It eliminates the need for tires.

• It allows the truck to fly.

What type of fuel cells is Lina working on?

• Hydrogen fuel cells

• Solar-powered fuel cells

• High-temperature oxide fuel cells

• Low-temperature fuel cells

What renewable sources are being used to fuel the developed fuel cells?

• Petroleum and diesel

• Coal and natural gas

• Biogas and bioethanol

• Nuclear energy
