The global glass manufacturing industry, often characterized by its energy-intensive processes, is on the cusp of a transformative journey towards sustainability. Four major glass manufacturing facilities are gearing up to commence full-scale hydrogen trials, marking a significant step towards the sector’s decarbonization.
A recent industry-commissioned study, conducted by the Green Hydrogen Alliance (GHA) and backed by major players like Airbus, Air Products, and Associated British Ports (ABP), has unveiled a promising path to propel the UK’s green hydrogen market. The report suggests that this endeavor could not only yield an £11 billion economic boost but also slash over 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually.
As the hydrogen economy gathers steam worldwide, experts are warning that the European Union (EU) must expedite the deployment of hydrogen electrolysers to stay competitive, particularly in the face of rapidly advancing markets like China. This call to action came during discussions at the recent Hydrogen Online Conference, where experts highlighted the urgency for the EU to close the gap with its global counterparts in the hydrogen sector. In 2023, the EU marked a significant milestone by finalizing its framework for green hydrogen, a key component of its ambitious decarbonization strategy. Furthermore, the EU initiated a pilot subsidy mechanism for…
Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) has partnered with McAllister & Quinn, a leading federal grants consulting firm, to secure a game-changing $1.2 billion grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE). This significant milestone has placed California at the forefront of renewable hydrogen (H2) technology and clean energy leadership.
In a bid to advance clean hydrogen technology and propel the United States toward its ambitious net-zero emissions goal by 2050, the Biden Administration has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative. The Department of Energy (DOE) is set to launch the $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program, and it is poised to have far-reaching implications for labor and workforce stakeholders. Clean hydrogen, heralded as a decarbonizing agent for fossil-fuel-intensive industries, is central to the administration’s vision of a sustainable future.
Photoncycle advances solar energy storage with solid hydrogen A Norwegian business called Photoncycle is working on interseason solar energy storage, which might allow the surplus solar energy produced in the summer to be stored and used for electricity and heating in the winter. According to the business, solid hydrogen holds the key to bringing the solution to market in a few of years. Levidian expands in Middle East The Middle East will see Levidian, a UK-based manufacturer of graphene and hydrogen, establish its first overseas location in Abu Dhabi. With the UAE-based Zero Carbon Ventures, Levidian signed an export agreement…
Spain’s Inta testing center in Cuadros, León, is at the forefront of breakthrough experiments that could reshape the energy landscape by enabling more sustainable alternatives for air and land transportation.
BMW’s pursuit of mass-produced hydrogen-powered vehicles is at a crossroads, and its long-time partner Toyota, famous for the Mirai, has shifted its focus away from hydrogen fuel cell cars, signaling potential challenges ahead.
Spain is on the cusp of a green hydrogen revolution, and Enagás, the technical manager of the country’s gas networks, is at the forefront of this transformation. Enagás believes that green hydrogen presents an incredible opportunity for Spain to become a major hub for this sustainable energy source in Europe, and it’s determined to make this vision a reality.
Toyota, the Japanese automotive giant, has recognized that its ambitious foray into the passenger car hydrogen market, represented by the Toyota Mirai, did not achieve the expected success. However, the brand is not abandoning the hydrogen technology but is rather shifting its strategic focus.
