Hydrogen

Hydrogen is not likely to be practically and economically viable for mass use in the short and medium term for heating homes or fueling passenger cars, a report from UK Members of Parliament has concluded. The universe's most abundant element has been mooted as a green alternative to fossil fuels,…

Bilbao-based Iberdrola has singled out Australia as a key market as it works to realise its renewables superpower ambitions. Global CEO Ignacio Galan met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in September to discuss opportunities here. It snapped up local renewables developer Infigen Energy in 2020, and was also in the running…
