In the heart of the Netherlands, a groundbreaking collaborative effort is underway to harness the power of green hydrogen in the nation’s mission to combat climate change. The journey towards a sustainable, green future has found a reliable ally in “HyTROS,” short for “Hydrogen Transport, Offshore, and Storage.” This ambitious initiative, part of the Nationaal Groeifonds (National Growth Fund), signifies the Netherlands’ determined leap from a fossil-based society to an eco-friendly era.
The Netherlands is making bold strides towards a more sustainable future by embracing green hydrogen as a key element of its decarbonization strategy. However, the road to achieving this vision is encountering a significant obstacle – the rapidly increasing costs associated with using the electricity grid. These rising expenses have the potential to undermine ambitious plans for large-scale green hydrogen production, a critical component in the nation’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
For years, the world’s automotive landscape has been dominated by the relentless march of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric motors are widely hailed as the future of mobility, promising cleaner, more sustainable transportation. Yet, beneath the surface, other alternative fuel technologies continue to quietly advance, including hydrogen. And now, a company based in Graz, Austria, has unveiled an impressive hydrogen-powered engine that’s challenging the traditional gasoline paradigm.
In the region of Bretagne, France, an audacious vision was conceived when André Morin, a seasoned pilot and mechanics expert, crossed paths with Wilson Hago, a California-based chemist and physicist. Their shared ambition was to revolutionize the transport and mobility sector by commercializing a cutting-edge hybrid hydrogen engine system that incorporated a carbon dioxide capture (CO2) technology.
A team of scientists from Latvia, in collaboration with experts from Romania, Spain, and Germany, is pioneering an innovative solution that could revolutionize hydrogen production: artificial intelligence.
As the world races to combat climate change and transition towards greener energy solutions, Belgium is setting its sights on an ambitious goal: becoming completely climate neutral by 2050. At the heart of this endeavor is the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a current energy hub that plays a pivotal role in Belgium’s sustainable future.
Groningen Airport Eelde, situated in the Netherlands, is embarking on a visionary journey to become one of Europe’s greenest airports, leading the charge in sustainable aviation. In a significant step towards this transformation, a coalition of twelve partners recently signed a declaration of intent to develop a comprehensive liquid and gaseous hydrogen infrastructure at the airport, creating an environmentally responsible hydrogen network.
Across the globe, coal power plants are approaching the end of their operational lifespans, raising questions about the transition from coal-dependent communities to greener energy sources. South Africa, home to a significant fleet of over 20 gigawatts (GW) of coal power, is one such place where the challenges and opportunities of this transition are prominent.
The journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious steel industry is gaining momentum thanks to a groundbreaking development by HYBRIT, a collaborative venture involving Swedish companies SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall.
TECO 2030 is leading the charge towards emission-free shipping with its groundbreaking hydrogen fuel cell technology. The Norwegian-based company is not only propelling ships but also heavyweight applications towards a greener future. Their innovation has the potential to transform the maritime and heavy-duty industries, making eco-friendly transport a reality.
