While the global smart grid market is anticipated to reach $61 billion by 2023, signifying the rapid advancement of digitized energy infrastructures, cyber threats loom large over these technological ecosystems.
In an era where the stability of energy systems is pivotal, especially when integrating renewable sources, the cooperative control of hydrogen-energy storage microgrid systems has emerged as a focal point. With the Journal of Energy Storage publishing a study in Volume 118 by Jianlin Li, Jiayang Hu, and Dixi Xin, the spotlight is on the subtle intricacies of disturbance-rejection model predictive control (MPC). The research delves into the refined dynamics of hydrogen-energy storage systems, underscoring the significance of frequency stability. A notable improvement in frequency regulation was reported, with the dynamic response time being enhanced by approximately 29.9% and the…
First Hydrogen has unveiled a new venture targeting the integration of small modular reactors (SMRs) into its clean energy portfolio. This announcement comes as governments and organizations worldwide grapple with balancing energy demands and emission reduction commitments. First Hydrogen’s strategic shift towards nuclear energy with SMRs is a response to both technological advancements and market pressures. The World Nuclear Association reports 70 SMR designs under development globally, symbolizing a growing acceptance of nuclear power’s potential in achieving lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, it’s crucial to note the divided opinions on nuclear energy’s environmental merits. Criticism revolves around waste disposal concerns…
The strategic partnership between Levidian, a British climate technology startup, and Swedish deep-tech company Graphmatech positions graphene at the forefront of clean hydrogen advancements. This collaboration aims to enhance efficiency within the hydrogen sector, an area projected to see its demand surge by 3.3 times by the year 2050. This surge signifies a substantial challenge, necessitating infrastructure scale-up and technological innovations. At the core of this partnership lies Levidian’s LOOP technology, which innovatively captures carbon from methane before combustion, thus facilitating the production of clean hydrogen and premium graphene. This approach is critical as it mitigates carbon emissions from industries…

Japan’s Iwatani Corporation recently announced its withdrawal from a key green hydrogen project in Australia, reverberating through the global clean energy sector. Japan, heavily invested in hydrogen as a cornerstone of its zero-emissions strategy, sees Iwatani’s withdrawal as a critical juncture. With Australia possessing vast renewable resources, the two nations have pursued a symbiotic relationship in energy partnerships. Australia’s vast natural resources have positioned it as a promising player in the hydrogen economy, with projects often projected to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions. Industry insights suggest that the potential for Australia’s green hydrogen production aligns with Japan’s decarbonization methods. Yet,…
Climate Impact Corporation (CIC), a leading developer of renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Topsoe, a global leader in energy transition technologies.
Europe’s transport sector is set to save 20 million tonnes of CO2 this year, thanks to the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), according to a new analysis by Transport & Environment (T&E). However, these gains are being offset by a surge in aviation emissions, highlighting the uneven progress in decarbonizing the continent’s transport systems. While the shift to EVs marks a significant step forward, the reliance on fossil fuels in aviation and shipping underscores the challenges ahead in achieving Europe’s climate goals. Transport emissions in Europe fell to 1.05 billion tonnes of CO2 in 2024, down from 1.1 billion…
