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.
Scientists at the University of Aberdeen are spearheading technology that could redefine the region’s energy landscape, turning depleted oil and gas reservoirs into green hydrogen banks. This innovation not only aligns with Scotland’s ambitious net-zero goals but could also position the nation as a net exporter of hydrogen.
Mobec, a frontrunner in mobile EV charging infrastructure, has joined forces with IILM University, a prestigious academic institution. Their strategic partnership is set to ignite a new era of research and innovation, focusing on hydrogen fuel cells as a primary power source for EV battery charging.
Germany, a global leader in renewable energy adoption, is embarking on a quest to secure affordable sources of Power-to-X (PtX) products to meet its energy demands.
Researchers from the GeoRessources Laboratory at the University of Lorraine and the CNRS stumbled upon something extraordinary while probing the region’s subsoil. What they found could potentially be the largest deposit of natural hydrogen on Earth, heralding a new era in the quest for sustainable energy.
In the race towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future, hydrogen has emerged as a promising contender. Its potential as a clean energy source in a decarbonized society has sparked significant technological developments, including the construction of efficient liquefied hydrogen (LH2) carriers.
Sinopec, the energy giant, recently unveiled a groundbreaking achievement in China’s quest for clean energy. The Xinjiang Kuqa green hydrogen demonstration project, the country’s largest photovoltaic power generation direct green hydrogen production initiative, has been successfully completed and is now operational.
