An alliance of environmentalists, trade unionists, and trade associations has come together to voice their concerns over the installation of hydrogen-capable gas heaters.

Panama is positioning itself as a leader in the global green hydrogen industry with its newly unveiled National Strategy for Green Hydrogen and Derivatives (ENHIVE).

The Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has announced the launch of a comprehensive national plan to incorporate hydrogen into the country’s energy system.

A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) revealed that global investments in the green hydrogen sector will range between $6tn and $12tn between 2025 and 2050.

India’s investments in renewable energy and grid upgrades have provided the required assurance for investors to fund long-term hydrogen projects, according to a conference held in Berlin.

Hydrogen is an essential element in the fight against climate change, and its use is becoming increasingly important in many industrial sectors.

The State Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia in Brussels recently hosted a Belgian-German event that focused on the green energy transformation for the industry in the European context, particularly on the use of hydrogen.

The adoption of clean energy sources and the pursuit of carbon neutrality has prompted Europe to seek alternative fuels, including hydrogen, as an alternative to fossil fuels.

“The holy grail” of the energy future – hydrogen may soon have a very serious problem, which, if not solved quickly, will bring the whole “hydrogen revolution” to a halt for us. This is caused by the already absolute certainty that hydrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere reacts with tropospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Therefore, its uncontrolled emission into the atmosphere disturbs the distribution and holds dangerously the decomposition of methane, ozone or water vapour, which can lead us, in the short term, to a possible climate cataclysm.

Germany has long been known for its ambitious plans to transition away from fossil fuels, and green hydrogen has been a critical element in this strategy. However, the country can only meet 30% of its own needs for this clean fuel, according to German Economy Minister Robert Habeck. This shortfall has led the country to search for trade partners to deliver the remaining 70% of its green hydrogen needs.
