Researchers have developed a new photocatalyst made from an airgel that could enable the efficient production of hydrogen in the future. This is made possible by a sophisticated treatment of the airy material.

Previously, multiple research groups worked on it separately; now, the institution is combining the knowledge of its various departments to address the issue thoroughly. This is something that the hydrogen cluster has begun to work on.

The cost of the trains was not disclosed by Siemens Mobility. Hydrogen-powered trains are more expensive than electric trains, however, the higher upfront cost can be mitigated by a longer lifespan.

Production of the new generation of fuel cells will soon start in Europe, Brussels to be precise. The choice for Europe is partly due to the growing demand for hydrogen-electric vehicles in this part of the world.

Every year, the MOL Group produces and uses over 150,000 tonnes of hydrogen. The company contributes to the program by delivering green alternative fuels, based on its commercial and technological capabilities.

The new plant will power with clean fuel a direct steel reduction furnace with a capacity to produce around 2 million tonnes per year of pure green steel, with a 95% reduction in CO2 emissions.

A feasibility study for the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project is being carried out by a consortium led by Stanwell Corporation, which includes Japanese companies Iwatani Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kansai Electric Power, and Marubeni Corporation, as well as the Australian group APT Management Services (APA) (CQH2).

The experiment shows that the technology for utilizing hydrogen (H2) as an energy carrier is now advanced.

Ukraine had already expressed its willingness to supply this fuel to the EU. Is there a prospect for Kiev to get a slice of the hydrogen pie?

Green hydrogen, created by splitting water molecules with renewable power, is being pushed for investment by the European Union and numerous worldwide firms in the hopes of replacing polluting fuel in heavy industries.
