Hydrogen

A newly leaked draft from the European Commission, titled “The Clean Industrial Deal: A Joint Roadmap for Competitiveness and Decarbonisation,” has revealed a focused strategy on hydrogen within the broader initiative aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing industrial competitiveness across Europe. This draft, which is part of a set of reforms scheduled for a phased rollout beginning in the first quarter of 2025, underscores the European Union’s commitment to integrating renewable energy solutions into its economic framework. The draft details a series of legislative and financial actions designed to accelerate the uptake of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, regarded as…

Hydrogen

Vema Hydrogen has successfully closed a substantial $13 million seed funding round, aiming to produce natural hydrogen at a cost below $1 per kilogram—a price point that, until now, seemed almost as elusive as the mythical Philosopher’s Stone. This breakthrough centers around Vema’s proprietary technology, which leverages naturally occurring underground reactions to produce hydrogen. This method involves injecting a brine solution containing specific catalysts into geological formations. These formations, rich in iron-bearing minerals, react with the solution to efficiently yield hydrogen. This approach not only mitigates the geological risks typically associated with natural hydrogen extraction projects but also strategically places…
