In a significant shift within the energy sector, the global nuclear power industry is projected to grow substantially, with a forecast suggesting a near-doubling of nuclear electricity generation by 2050. Despite its potential to provide a stable and low-carbon energy source, the industry is fraught with hurdles that must be navigated by policymakers and industry leaders alike. The current landscape shows that countries such as South Korea, China, and India are at the forefront of this nuclear renaissance, each pursuing aggressive policies to expand their nuclear capacities. As of now, South Korea plans to construct six new nuclear power reactors,…

Hydrogen technology continues to draw significant attention in the energy sector, with promises of a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.

Amidst shifting political dynamics, Fortescue Metals Group is re-evaluating its commitment to nearly $1 billion in approved hydrogen projects both in Australia and the United States.

In May 2024, the South Australian government, alongside federal counterparts, announced the deferral of a 600-million-dollar green hydrogen facility in Whyalla, redirecting funds into a 2.4 billion state-federal package to stabilize the region’s steelworks.

Nikola Corporation has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a stark development two years after its highly publicized rise as a leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology.

A new patent introduces a method that aims to significantly enhance hydrogen production using ammonia. Filed by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, this patent proposes an innovative approach to decompose ammonia in an energy-efficient manner. The Ammonia Decomposition Catalyst At the heart of this new hydrogen production method is the use of a specialized catalyst. The patent details the utilization of either a titanium oxide or a titanium oxynitride, represented by two general formulas. These catalysts are crucial in the decomposition process of ammonia, allowing for a highly efficient reaction with minimal energy consumption. The titanium compounds are integral…

Researchers at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences have identified potential natural hydrogen (H2) reservoirs using plate tectonic simulations.

The Journal of Energy Storage explores a critical pivot in the renewable energy sector by examining hydrogen storage in subsurface environments.

In recent research published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, significant attention has been drawn to the structural parameters of injection hole distribution in direct-injection hydrogen (DI H2) engines.

Governor Bill Lee’s push for sustainable energy solutions is manifesting through his endorsement of small modular reactors (SMRs) as a key component in Tennessee’s energy future.
