Oman’s Minister of Economy, Dr. Said Mohammed Al-Saqri, highlighted the flourishing economic cooperation between Oman and Saudi Arabia. Over the past two years, since the establishment of the Saudi-Omani Coordination Council and the opening of a direct land border, these Gulf nations have witnessed substantial progress in various sectors.
One significant challenge lies in the high capital costs associated with building the necessary electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. According to experts, these costs can only be recouped with consistently high capacity utilization, which requires a stable and reliable source of power for electrolysis.
The debate over the role of hydrogen in the future of rail transport has heated up in Bavaria, with passenger association Pro Bahn Bayern firmly declaring that hydrogen is “meaningless” for local rail passenger transport in the state.
The Royal Society urges the UK government to invest in large-scale hydrogen storage for a net-zero carbon electricity network by 2035.
In the quest for sustainable and efficient transportation, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has embarked on a groundbreaking journey. They are developing a disruptive technology that not only has the potential to enhance hydrogen transport and storage but could also play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the fossil-fuel-intensive long-haul trucking sector.
The pursuit of green hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source has been propelled to the forefront of the global energy transition. At the heart of this endeavor lies a fundamental process: water splitting, where water is transformed into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis.
Aerospace engineer Phil Ansell from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has illuminated the path to sustainable aviation using green hydrogen. His research, presented at AIAA Aviation 2023, reveals that for hydrogen to be a viable zero-emission solution for aviation, it hinges on a fully renewable electrical grid in the U.S. by 2035.
Green hydrogen, often touted as the fuel of the future in the transition to clean energy, has taken a significant leap forward in Brazil. A recent study by Clean Energy Latin America (CELA) has unveiled cost estimates for producing this sustainable energy source in various Brazilian states, positioning Brazil as a potential leader in the global green hydrogen market.
The global push for renewable hydrogen is well underway, with hydrogen electrolyzers at the forefront of this green revolution. In Europe, the development of these electrolyzers is integral to the Net-Zero Industry Act, a significant part of the EU’s green industrial policy. However, the landscape of this emerging industry is far from settled, with Europe, China, and the United States vying for supremacy in electrolyzer technology.
Rhine-Main region is embarking on an ambitious journey to establish a vast network of hydrogen pipelines spanning 300 kilometers by 2028. This visionary project aims to facilitate the seamless transition to hydrogen as a primary energy source, positioning the region at the forefront of sustainable technology adoption.
