In order to better understand the relationship between hydrogen production, water availability, emerging technologies, and the potential role water utilities can play in the hydrogen value chain throughout the UK and Ireland, a new project working group is being led by UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR).

According to recent research from Interact Analysis, the use of internal combustion engines (ICE) fuelled by hydrogen will take off over the next five years and rise exponentially during the following 17 years.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy has given producers or importers of green hydrogen a legal foundation for subsidizing the difference between the production costs of green hydrogen and gray hydrogen in order to ensure the competitiveness of green hydrogen.

According to a recent study conducted on behalf of Transport & Environment (T&E), investments in the refining of biofuels are eight times larger. This suggests that the “big bet” made by Europe’s oil majors on hydrogen as the future’s transportation fuel is not as large as it appears in theory.

The use of hydrogen should enable climatic neutrality. But if it escapes unchecked, it can potentially have a significant negative impact on the environment. The need for building a hydrogen infrastructure is increased as a result, as even little leaks from hydrogen pipes can have significant negative effects on the environment.

Chemical engineers at EPFL have created a solar-powered artificial leaf that is supported by a new transparent, porous electrode that can collect atmospheric water and turn it into hydrogen fuel.

According to a recent joint assessment of hydrogen patents by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the International Energy Agency, innovation in hydrogen is trending towards low-emission solutions, with Europe and Japan in the lead and the United States losing the pace (IEA).

Tire wear is a major source of microplastics, according to South Korean Omphalos designer Cheolhee Lee. Omphalos’ hydrogen propulsion and…

Pyeongtaek, Namyangju, Dangjin, Boryeong, and Gwangyang Pohang are among the six local governments that have been chosen as “hydrogen cities” locations.

The introduction of two new initiatives to carry on promoting the use of hydrogen (H2) as an energy vector marked the end of the Foundation for the Development of New Hydrogen Technologies in Aragon in 2022.
