Engineers at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water with high efficiency. The system also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat, putting them to use as well.
The new patent proposes a simple and safe structure for the transport and storage of hydrogen and its mixtures, especially from renewable energy sources, which can be used by various producers, end users/consumers.
Fraunhofer IWU and industry are developing a reference plant to mass produce fuel cells and electrolysers.
With the introduction of large-scale initiatives, money, and official support globally, blue hydrogen production is gaining traction.
EntX, an Adelaide-based renewable energy technology business, has been given permission to examine the potential for storing hydrogen at Elliston for their Western Eyre Green Hydrogen Project.
Researchers from the Regensburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany and LUT University in Finland investigated if seasonal hydrogen storage (SHS) could be a practical way to increase solar self-consumption in the future.
A kilowatt-scale pilot plant that can generate solar-powered heat and green hydrogen has been created by researchers.
The heads of the Advanced Institute of Technology and Innovation (IATI), Brazil’s only centre specialized in scientific research on green hydrogen, claimed that this renewable energy source will drive an “energy revolution” in the world and that the future of the transition is in Brazil.
The Kingdom has the capacity to compete in the market for the production of green hydrogen at the lowest cost, up to $ 2.54 per kilogramme, in the city of Dakhla, according to a scientific study conducted by Moroccan researchers.
As part of the Green-QUEST project, University of Cape Town (UCT) students Carla Mathyse and Candace Eslick are investigating ways to harness green hydrogen to provide cleaner cooking fuel for low-income homes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
