A Yale University professor has received a $1.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a water-splitting device designed for the large-scale production of green hydrogen.
A new study of the top 100 highest-spenders on EU lobbying based on LobbyFacts data shows that Big Hydrogen spends over €75.75 million a year on lobbying the EU institutions.
Green hydrogen, the linchpin of many nations’ decarbonization strategies, faces a formidable challenge: cost. Producing this clean fuel from renewable sources often comes with a price tag that threatens to slow down the transition to sustainable energy.
Eletrobras, a key player in Brazil’s energy landscape, is embarking on a groundbreaking journey into the realm of green hydrogen. With an eye on commercial-scale production, the company sees green hydrogen as a catalyst for Brazil’s synthetic fuel market, potentially revolutionizing energy consumption in the country and opening doors to international exports of eco-friendly e-methanol.
French company RH2 is developing hydrogen retrofit kits for heavy goods vehicles and construction machinery. The kits are designed to convert existing diesel engines to run on hydrogen, at a fraction of the cost of replacing the vehicles outright.
A significant disruption in the availability of gaseous hydrogen has rendered many Southern California hydrogen stations temporarily unavailable. While some stations with alternate supply chains remain operational, they are experiencing unusually high demand.
In the quest for a low-carbon economy, a team of visionary scientists at the NTI Competence Center, specializing in “Hydrogen as the basis of a low-carbon economy,” within the Federal Research Center, Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, have achieved a remarkable breakthrough. Their innovation involves a novel material for electrodes in hydrogen fuel cells, opening doors to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.
Europe, despite its commitment to environmental sustainability, finds itself ensnared in the web of fossil fuels, with oil, gas, and coal comprising nearly 65% of its energy mix. This heavy reliance on fossil energies not only fuels climate change but also poses a significant geopolitical challenge, hindering Europe’s quest for energy independence. In this exploration, we delve into the current energy landscape, the challenges it poses, and the transformative role hydrogen is set to play.
Australia, known for its ambitious renewable energy goals, is on the brink of a groundbreaking transformation in the world of hydrogen. Recent analysis by Rystad Energy reveals that the nation’s hydrogen infrastructure developers are considering a monumental shift—transporting hydrogen in the form of ammonia.
