Switching to hydrogen fuel could drastically reduce the carbon intensity of steel productionBritish Steel is now running a six-month study based on operations at its Teesside Beam Mill thanks to funding from the UK government’s Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). The steelmaker, which is collaborating with EDF UK, University College…

North Carolina State University (NCSU) has developed an energy-efficient strategy for room-temperature hydrogen release from liquid hydrogen carriers, which uses less rhodium. Elsewhere in the world, Airbus launched its Zero Emission Development Centre in the UK, Toshiba ESS teamed up with Fusion Fuel to target Australian and European markets, and…

On Tuesday we reported that Great Wall Motors 长城汽车 plans to launch a new brand (the company’s seventh) of high-end passenger vehicles at the end of this year, postponed from the start of the second quarter due to ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns. The new cars will be powered by hydrogen fuel…

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…
