China uses solid hydrogen for power generation Two power plants in south China’s Guangzhou and Kunming have begun using solid hydrogen to generate electricity. It has effectively produced solid-state hydrogen energy using solar power generation for the first time, which is significant for boosting large-scale hydrogen production from renewable energy sources and expediting the development of a new kind of power system. Seven cutting-edge solid hydrogen storage tanks, each holding 90 kilos of hydrogen, are part of the smart hydrogen station on Xiaohu Island in the Nansha area of Guangzhou. The second hydrogen power plant is situated in Kunming City,…
As the world accelerates to net zero, hydrogen infrastructure is emerging. Switching oil and gas infrastructure to hydrogen is not always feasible.
According to the Energy Transitions Commission, primary steel projects with almost zero emissions are within reach in both Europe and North America. By 2030, the organisation says, the sector may be on a path that is compliant with the Paris Agreement.
Onyx Power intends to construct a hydrogen production plant at its current location in Rotterdam’s port to create low carbon blue hydrogen.
The energy crisis has had a severe impact on the German economy. The nation suffered economic losses of around 60 billion euros last year as a result of rising energy costs. According to German Minister of Economic Affairs Robert Habeck, that number this year might easily reach 100 billion euros.
Rio Negro will hold a worldwide conference aimed at promoting this clean energy, referred to as the “fuel of the future,” with the anticipation that a National Law would be passed that encourages the growth of green hydrogen in the nation.
The Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois (CTS) held an international tender, which CaetanoBus won, for the provision of up to 60 hydrogen-powered electric buses over the following five years.
Up to 42% of the predicted 53 million tonnes (or 1,764 TWh) total EU hydrogen demand in 2050, or 22 million tonnes (or 730 TWh), might be found in port regions.
A French start-up company Gen-Hy has created novel, high-performance PGM-free (platinum group metal-free) catalysts free of any rare earth metals using catalytic deposition methods on its Gen-AEM membranes for use in alkaline electrolysers.
