With the recent inauguration of HyIron’s Oshivela plant, Namibia has taken a significant step toward embracing sustainable industrial practices. Recently, the facility started green hydrogen production, contributing to the green iron industry’s quest to eliminate carbon emissions from iron manufacturing processes.
China’s introduction of the “Track 1000” liquid hydrogen system for trucks has captured attention, offering a promise to revolutionize long-haul journeys. This new system allows trucks to traverse over 1,000 kilometers without requiring a refuel, utilizing 100 kilograms of liquid hydrogen. The “Track 1000” claims to bring a competitive edge through this capacity, yet there are unresolved challenges regarding infrastructure and safety that experts continue to debate. The deployment of hydrogen technologies at scale still faces infrastructural constraints. The necessity for robust refueling networks emerges as a critical hurdle, especially given the currently limited number of hydrogen refueling stations worldwide.…
Mexico has been thrust into the spotlight, potentially facing a loss of $10 billion due to what some experts term the nation’s missteps in its hydrogen strategy. Mexican policymakers have aimed to establish the country as a hub for hydrogen production, citing ambitious projects and investment opportunities. Yet, the rapid expansion and investment in this sector raise critical questions about its viability and strategic approach. Mexico’s hydrogen strategy appears to be in a nascent stage, with current projects constituting a mere fraction of the global pie. Analysts argue that the Mexican government may have underestimated both the technological challenges and…
