With the converter, hydrogen may be produced in a capillary fashion at the destination, lowering transportation costs and overcoming the low energy content of hydrogen, which poses a storage and transit difficulty.
In Switzerland, cleantech provider Hitachi Zosen Inova AG (HZI) and the Aarau-Lenzburg Regional Waste Disposal Association (GEKAL) have announced a joint venture project that aims to produce hydrogen at the waste-to-energy (WtE) plant in Buchs, Canton of Aargau.
Wetselaar believes that this form of energy will be price competitive by the end of this decade and that its reduced production cost in Spain will attract other enterprises on the continent and allow it to be exported to other countries.
High natural gas prices have made hydrogen more affordable, highlighting its value as a clean fuel for not just decarbonizing Europe but also ensuring energy security.
From late next year, the “New Energies Service Station” in Geelong will offer EV charging as well as public refueling of hydrogen-fueled vehicles and buses.
The Japanese powerhouse, pleased with its job on Earth, has set its sights on the moon as its next goal. Toyota has been hard at work with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) on a pressurized rover known as the Lunar Cruiser.
Green hydrogen, generated from renewable energy sources, has been heralded as a cure for heat decarbonization and natural gas price volatility. However, the fact is that not every application will be both cost-effective and practicable.
The Netherlands has offered to facilitate import of Indian green hydrogen into Europe, in addition to buying “significant quantities” of green hydrogen for its own use
