The mining sector cannot anticipate receiving green hydrogen in convenient vehicles or cylinders to replace diesel.
A “net-zero emissions by 2050” scenario, like that described in the International Energy Agency (IEA) roadmap, calls for an unprecedented development of renewable energies, with increasing electrification of uses, increased energy efficiency, and smart energy grids, the development of nuclear power, the massive development of hydrogen as a carbon-free energy and chemical carrier, and the various methods for capturing carbon or offsetting its emissions in other ways.
The Groningen company Noordgastransport is looking into the viability of moving renewable hydrogen through their existing natural gas pipelines. They claim that this costs less than 10% of what it would build a brand-new network.
A lengthy campaign to pass a significant climate bill through Congress was unsuccessful last year with the approval of the Inflation Reduction Act. Yet, there is still work to be done to make sure that this record amount of financing for clean energy results in lower emissions.
In its study on hydrogen and carbon capture in Scotland, the UK House of Commons Scottish Affairs Committee finds that Scotland may hold the key to the widespread adoption of both technologies throughout the UK.
Germany signed a joint declaration of intent with Oman, but it is focusing on its larger neighbors. Energy, geostrategic, and climatic foreign policy should not ignore Oman. Oman’s hydrogen initiatives can supply affordable sustainable energy.
The steel and chemical sectors have called for the EU’s renewable energy standards to include nuclear-made fuels because all types of clean hydrogen are needed to decarbonize.
“Hydrogen Patents for a Clean Energy Future,” a detailed analysis on innovation in clean-energy hydrogen technologies during the past 20 years based on international patent filings, has just been released by the European Patent Office (EPO) and International Energy Agency (IEA).
From his ministry’s “transformation workshop,” the minister of economic affairs reports. In it, one imagines hydrogen serving as a fuel and develops a “hydrogen network acceleration law” to achieve this. The only aspect of hydrogen generation and heat pumps that are yet unknown is where the electricity will come from.
