Hydrogen, a versatile fuel and energy carrier, is poised for expanded utilization, leading to an increased demand for freshwater resources for its electrolytic production.

Israeli start-up Found Energy has developed a groundbreaking technology that harnesses the stored energy in aluminium and converts it into heat and hydrogen through oxidation with water.

Deakin University’s hydrogen program, Hycel, has joined forces with PACCAR Australia to conduct research aimed at developing zero-emission solutions for the domestic heavy haulage market using hydrogen-powered prime movers.

Hydrogen energy, derived through photocatalytic production, holds immense potential as a sustainable and green energy source.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Large Structures is set to establish an application center for hydrogen in Rostock-Warnemünde, aiming to develop and test hydrogen-powered ship engines and other large engines on the Warnow River.

A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) revealed that global investments in the green hydrogen sector will range between $6tn and $12tn between 2025 and 2050.

The adoption of clean energy sources and the pursuit of carbon neutrality has prompted Europe to seek alternative fuels, including hydrogen, as an alternative to fossil fuels.

“The holy grail” of the energy future – hydrogen may soon have a very serious problem, which, if not solved quickly, will bring the whole “hydrogen revolution” to a halt for us. This is caused by the already absolute certainty that hydrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere reacts with tropospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Therefore, its uncontrolled emission into the atmosphere disturbs the distribution and holds dangerously the decomposition of methane, ozone or water vapour, which can lead us, in the short term, to a possible climate cataclysm.

As countries look to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and decarbonize their economies, the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source is becoming increasingly attractive.

Green hydrogen, a clean fuel produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy, has gained prominence globally as a crucial element in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors.
