The world is entering a critical period where energy systems are set to undergo significant transformations. Emerging technologies are facilitating the adoption of green hydrogen, a key component in achieving decarbonization targets.
Germany’s gas Transmission System Operators (TSOs) have submitted an application for a national hydrogen core network, spanning 9,666km and costing an estimated €19.7 billion ($21.4 billion).
The Dutch hydrogen market has exhibited notable growth in supply and demand between October 2023 and April 2024, according to ICIS, a global commodity intelligence source.
Recent research by the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ-CSIC-UPV) and the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA) has developed materials aimed at enhancing hydrogen production from water using microwave radiation.
Germany aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, with hydrogen playing a pivotal role. The federal government plans to import a significant portion of this hydrogen.
The European Commission has opted to maintain its current hydrogen strategy despite recommendations from the European Court of Auditors (ECA) for a significant overhaul.
The ambitious proposal for Germany’s hydrogen core network has recently taken a significant step forward with the submission of the draft application by FNB Gas e.V. This network aims to connect key hydrogen sources with main consumption centers and storage facilities across the country.
Container ships, with their massive diesel engines, significantly contribute to global pollution, impacting climate and human health. Maritime shipping accounts for nearly 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with detrimental effects on air quality causing approximately 100,000 premature deaths annually.
As the automotive industry explores alternatives to fossil fuels, liquid nitrogen cars have emerged as a potential game-changer. With claims of rapid refueling times and low emissions, they offer an intriguing alternative to electric and hydrogen vehicles.
