Hydrogen

By Fleur Doidge Published: 26 May 2022 The UK government says hydrogen is key to future energy supplies, even planning national subsidies to beef up production by the end of 2022. However, the embryonic hydrogen industry has not yet tackled the investment, sustainability and cost issues around data storage use…

In other news, Shinshu University researchers developed a graphene-wrapped molecular-sieving membrane that is reportedly 100 times more efficient than that of conventional polymer separation membranes. Topsoe aalso nnounced the construction of the “world’s largest electrolyzer production facility,” and Toho Gas said it would produce blue hydrogen in Japan for local…

PULLMAN, Wash. – A new energy-efficient way to produce hydrogen gas from ethanol and water has the potential to make clean hydrogen fuel a more viable alternative for gasoline to power cars. Washington State University researchers used the ethanol and water mixture and a small amount of electricity in a…

Kore, an energy startup in California, has developed a new way to produce hydrogen from biogas, and is now poised to build a commercial-scale demonstration facility in Los Angeles. It said half of the carbon in the feedstock can be converted into gas, while the other half can be converted…

May 18, 2022 Hydrogen has long been hyped as a fuel of the future. It’s abundant and its waste product is water. But it’s only recently that the availability of cheap renewable energy has allowed hydrogen to be produced competitively without the use of fossil fuels. Azeem Azhar speaks with…

A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cornell University, and Wuhan University have presented a completely precious metal–free alkaline fuel cell with enhanced performance using a carbon-coated nickel anode. Meanwhile, the Port of Rotterdam has offered to supply northwestern Europe with 4.6 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2030.…

Sponsored content from Renewable UK If we weren’t already aware, the release of the latest set of IPCC reports (and the even starker picture they paint compared to previous iterations) has made abundantly clear to governments, businesses, and society as a whole the dangers of climate change and the urgent…

Elon Musk and JB Straubel talked for 15 minutes on the origins of Tesla. In 2003, JB and Elon and Rosen talked initially about a hydrogen plane but the lunch conversation turned to electric cars. Elon test drove the AC Propulsion T0 EV race car. This ended up becoming making…

Hydrogen continues to advance as a promising source in the global energy mix. I had a wide-ranging discussion with Emerson’s Martin Van Der Merwe as part of our Asia-Pacific Sustainability & Decarbonization podcast series to discuss the trends, challenges, and solutions for hydrogen as an energy carrier. The discussion was…
