Eletronuclear has revealed plans to produce 100 tons of clean hydrogen annually through the operation of nuclear plants in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro. The project, presented in Brasília during a seminar on sustainable hydrogen, is positioned as a key contributor to global decarbonization efforts.
Thuringia’s glass, ceramics, and metal industries are gearing up for a seismic shift as they embark on the ambitious journey of transitioning to renewable energies. The unveiling of groundbreaking insights from a two-year research project on the industrial application of green hydrogen, funded with approximately €400,000 by the Thuringian Ministry of Energy, promises to be a guiding light through this transformative period.
DENSO, in a recent ‘Behind the Scenes’ exposé, produced in collaboration with NewsPicks Brand Design, sheds light on its ambitious quest to unlock the full potential of hydrogen, touted as the rising star of clean energy due to its capacity to release zero CO₂ when burned.
In a recent report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) sheds light on the growing prominence of hydrogen in the global energy matrix. Global hydrogen consumption soared to 95 million tonnes in 2022, marking a 3% annual increase. However, despite this surge, the share of green hydrogen, the low-emission variant, remains a modest 0.6% of the total supply.
In the intricate tapestry of transport, Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) weave a disproportionate environmental footprint, contributing 20% of emissions despite constituting only 1.5% of all transport. As sustainability takes center stage globally, the need to decarbonize HGVs becomes imperative.
Unforeseeable costs and a lack of financing models cast a shadow over Germany’s hydrogen endeavors, according to a study by Advyce & Perlitz and PSvdL Consulting.
Kazakhstan’s ambitious energy transition, outlined in collaboration with S&P Global, faces a complex landscape of uncertainties.
European investors, particularly from Germany and Denmark, are eyeing substantial investments in Gujarat’s green hydrogen sector.
As the world gears up for COP28, the upcoming UN climate summit, Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) issues a stark warning: “Hydrogen is big polluters’ latest trick, and we can’t afford to fall for it.” In a paper titled “Don’t Fall for the Hydrogen Hype,” FOEI challenges the perception of hydrogen as a clean alternative and calls for a just energy transition.
Statkraft has conducted a comprehensive feasibility study on hydrogen projects, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities in achieving sustainable hydrogen production. Focusing on Europe, the study addresses regulatory complexities, technological considerations, and the pivotal role of intermediaries in the evolving landscape of green hydrogen.
