Hydrogen, along with  renewables and natural gas, has an important role to play in the global transition to a cleaner energy landscape. Hydrogen is in the top tier of global discussions about CO2 emissions as many realize that simply decarbonizing through renewable electricity will be insufficient to get us to the goal of net zero by 2050. As its visibility …

The development of a new 200 MW electrolysis-based hydrogen plant in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Scheduled to start by 2023 and estimated to produce 50,000 – 60,000 kilograms of green hydrogen per day making it one of the largest commercial green hydrogen production facilities in the world. An Australian engineering company, Worley, will provide early engineering services for the green hydrogen …

Megawatt sized AEM electrolyzer is here The German company, Enapter, is developing the new electrolyser with anion exchange membrane technology at Saerbeck, between Münster and Osnabrück, in the German region of North Rhine-Westphalia at the 76,000 square meter “Enapter Campus”. It is expected to produce around 450 kilograms of hydrogen per day, which corresponds to an energy equivalent of 9.5 …

Cutting down green electrolysis costs by using cheaper electrode materials The strategy of eliminating rare and precious metals from the electrolysis process is a popular line of research and development among numerous hydrogen-focused startups. Alternative materials research was the focus of two startups showcased at MIT earlier this year. On Friday, California-based tech developer BioSolar announced that it has changed its name to …

The cost of green hydrogen is …

As the global shift towards green hydrogen continues, Europe doubles down on its decarbonisation effort. Europe could devote 40,000 km (24,800 miles) of natural gas pipelines to hydrogen by 2040 once production and imports of the alternative fuel take off, transmission systems operators (TSOs) said on Tuesday. The hypothetical European hydrogen backbone scenario envisages how elements of 2020 “green” hydrogen …

DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES TO FOSSIL FUELS The potential issues surrounding the use of fossil fuels, particularly in terms of climate change, were considered earlier than you may think. It was a Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius who was the first to state that the use of fossil fuel could contribute to global warming, way back in 1896. Arrhenius also emphasized the need for …

Hydrogen Powered Tractors Are Here! Hydrogen powered tractors are here! Hyundai has been manufacturing fuel cell powered cars and is now applying the technology to heavy trucks. Switzerland for example, is leasing 1,600 class 8 trucks (heavy duty trucks weighing 33,000 pounds or more) from Hyundai. A trucker with an electric power train and an on-board fuel cell and hydrogen …

Get Ready: The Hydrogen Economy Is On Its Way The investment world shook when Plug Power, a hydrogen fuel cell maker, rocketed from $16 per share in early November to more than $70 less than three months later. And it wasn’t alone: Other hydrogen players like Bloom Energy, Ballard Systems and Cummins also posted remarkable growth. The sudden excitement was …

German steel powerhouse turns to green hydrogen A major green hydrogen facility in Germany has started operations, with those behind the project hoping it will help to decarbonize the energy-intensive steel industry in the years ahead.  The “WindH2” project involves German steel giant Salzgitter, E.ON subsidiary Avacon and Linde, a firm specializing in engineering and industrial gases. Hydrogen can be produced in a number …
