While much of the focus in international media has been on the United States and Europe’s endeavors in the low-carbon hydrogen sector, China’s significant role in this field has often been underreported. As the leading global player in hydrogen production and consumption, China’s strategies and actions are critical not only for its domestic energy landscape but also for the worldwide transition to cleaner energy sources.
Tasmania, known for its breathtaking landscapes and pristine environment, is now gearing up to become a powerhouse in renewable energy. The Tasmanian Government, in a bold move, has unveiled the Green Hydrogen Price Reduction Scheme, a pivotal part of the $50 million Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Industry Development Fund.
Sri Lanka is laying the foundation for a sustainable and eco-friendly future. The focus is on harnessing the potential of green hydrogen and green ammonia to not only reduce emissions but also to bolster the capabilities of the bustling Colombo Port, a strategic hub in the region.
Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co. has partnered with the Fukui prefectural government and Hokuriku Electric Power Company to conduct a groundbreaking feasibility study.
The recently released “China Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Development Report 2022,” or “White Paper 2022,” by the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, provides a comprehensive look at the status and future of the hydrogen energy industry in China and globally.
Dankook University, along with seven other distinguished institutions, has sealed an agreement to nurture the hydrogen industry ecosystem in South Chungcheong Province. This collaborative effort is not merely about fostering the hydrogen industry but also about developing talent in this critical field.
Toyota, a leading name in the automotive industry, is making a significant pivot. The Japanese automaker has decided to shift its focus in hydrogen fuel-cell technology development from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. The rationale behind this decision and its implications for the future of green transportation are worth exploring.
Fortescue Metals, led by Andrew Forrest, has manually produced its first “home-grown” hydrogen electrolysers at its Gladstone “gigafactory.” These 1MW PEM electrolysers, to be automated soon, mark a pivotal development for Fortescue’s participation in the Australian federal government’s $2 billion Hydrogen Head-start program.
China, the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a key player in the quest for carbon neutrality. To achieve its ambitious goals, the country is harnessing its vast resources and technology to revolutionize its energy sector. One of the central pillars of this campaign is the development of the hydrogen energy industry, a promising clean fuel source with the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions, particularly in sectors that are challenging to electrify.
Hydrogen fuel cells, long considered a beacon of sustainable energy, have taken a significant step forward, thanks to pioneering research by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST).
