Norway has recently made significant breakthroughs in hydrogen research, but current government policy means that these findings will most likely only benefit its competitors. The EU and USA are currently investing heavily in hydrogen, while Norway has yet to develop a clear plan for making hydrogen available for use domestically.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has succeeded in significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production by developing a new carbon-supported catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis.
Trucks are responsible for transporting nearly three-quarters of the nation’s freight by weight, and most of these commercial trucks are powered by diesel fuel.
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.
