The Department of Energy is funding $28 million in research and development programs focused at advancing the use of clean hydrogen in power generation, industrial processes, and transportation. DOE announced Monday that the financing opportunity will encourage the deployment of carbon capture technologies to generate clean hydrogen from waste materials such as plastics, biomass, legacy coal, and municipal solid waste. The projects will focus on the following areas: cost reductions for clean hydrogen for the DOE’s Hydrogen Shot effort, clean hydrogen production from high-volume waste materials and biomass, and sensors and controls for waste co-gasification. Additionally, the FOA funds front-end…

The Korean government is speeding up efforts to incorporate hydrogen into municipal gas in order to cut greenhouse gas emissions and expand hydrogen availability. The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy established a task force to carry out the project in collaboration with the Korea Gas Corporation, the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning, and others. South Korea consumes approximately 40 million tons of natural gas per year. By injecting 10% hydrogen, it is possible to reduce natural gas consumption by 1.29 million tons per year, so avoiding the emission of 3.55 million tons of carbon dioxide. The…
