As part of the Green-QUEST project, University of Cape Town (UCT) students Carla Mathyse and Candace Eslick are investigating ways to harness green hydrogen to provide cleaner cooking fuel for low-income homes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

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,…

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.
