Description
As new technologies are introduced to support the clean energy transition, questions of their efficiency often arise. Evaluating such technologies based on data reported without established standards makes even direct comparisons between them akin to comparing apples and oranges. We will discuss case studies focused on the challenges associated with data comparisons for battery technologies as well as electrocatalysis. We will then compare these reports to the standardized reporting for photovoltaics, which is often promoted as the ‘gold standard’ of testing and data reporting.
