The hydrogen industry is no stranger to bold claims, but few back them with daily proof. In a recent conversation,…
Electricity accounts for just 20% of global energy consumption, yet dominates decarbonization debates. The remaining 80%—industrial heat, heavy transport, and…
Green hydrogen has long been promised as a clean energy solution, but turning that promise into reality requires more than just ambition—it demands practical engineering. In a recent discussion with Yujin Lee of Lightbridge Korea, we explored how modular electrolyzers are quietly solving some of hydrogen’s biggest challenges.
Aviation’s climate impact, often underestimated at 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions, surges to 10% or higher when non-CO₂ effects like…
A staggering volume of disingenuous narratives, strategically amplified within increasingly fragmented information ecosystems, significantly impedes meaningful climate action. This was…
The European Union’s Hydrogen Bank has already allocated €2 billion to 61 pioneering projects in its first auction, marking a…
In the Pyrenees, a single tectonic system may generate enough hydrogen annually to power a city of 500,000—a figure extrapolated…
At the heart of the tension lies the bloc’s approach to technology neutrality. While the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allocates tax credits across multiple hydrogen production pathways—including $3/kg for low-carbon methods like methane pyrolysis—EU policies remain disproportionately focused on electrolysis-derived “green” hydrogen. This narrow focus risks sidelining alternative methods, such as methane splitting with solid carbon capture, which could reduce emissions by 92% compared to conventional steam methane reforming (SMR), according to 2023 lifecycle analyses by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The company’s $1.66 billion Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee will fund the construction of up to six hydrogen production facilities, starting with a plant in Graham, Texas. This facility, powered by wind energy, is expected to produce 45 tons of hydrogen per day, eliminating 175,000 tons of CO2 annually—equivalent to taking 38,000 cars off the road. Marsh projects a seven-to-eight-year payback period, with the plant generating cash flow for up to 50 years.
