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.
In an effort to have the Renewables Directive not apply to hydrogen and “low-carbon” fuels, seven EU nations have written to the Commission. Spain, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Portugal are the countries that have participated.
Uruguay, the country with the second-highest percentage of variable renewable energies (such as solar and wind) in the world’s electricity generation, was one of the special guests at the most recent international conference on renewable energies, which was held in Madrid at the end of February.
Fuel cells based on hydrogen are highly effective and energy-efficient. Because only water and electrical energy are created when hydrogen combines with oxygen, they don’t release any toxic emissions.
In the Wesel neighborhood, green hydrogen will be promoted.
