Tokyo, Japan, August 02, 2025 --(PR.com)-- From September 17-19, 2025, the premier renewable energy exhibition returns at Makuhari Messe in Japan. Organised by RX Japan, this trade show will showcase innovative renewable energy solutions as the global drive towards carbon neutrality by 2050. This three-day event unites industry professionals, leaders, and…

Scientists have pioneered a water- and light-driven method for converting propane at near-room temperature, opening the door to sustainable, low-energy catalysis. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a chemical process that requires a large input of heat, typically needing temperatures above 600°C when carried out using traditional thermo-catalytic methods...Read More

Hydrogen fuel cell cars (FCEVs) have been on the market for a similar duration to the current wave of battery EVs (BEVs). But they have sold a tiny fraction in comparison. In 2024, 12,866 FCEVs were registered globally, versus 10.8 million BEVs. Still, some manufacturers have hopes that hydrogen has…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 30, July 2025. SignificanceThe atmosphere is the primary source of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide supporting life, but has only recently gained attention as a source of energy. Here, we show that aerobic microorganisms can use the hydrogen gas in…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 30, July 2025. SignificanceThis work uncovers the unexpected solid-state molecular mixing of nonpolar hydrocarbons—such as methane and ethane—with hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a compound more polar than water. By challenging the conventional wisdom that “like dissolves like,”...Read More

Home Hydrogen Hydrogen-fueled RTG begins operation in Yokohama Port zero-emission trial July 16, 2025, by Aida Čučuk Japanese ship equipment manufacturer Mitsui E&S has replaced the conventional diesel engine generator set installed on a near-zero-emission rubber-tired gantry crane (RTG) – previously delivered to Utoc Corporation at the Yokohama Port Minami-Honmoku…

Enriched asymmetric π electrons in chainmail catalyst boost acidic hydrogen evolution. Credit: DICP Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is an important technology to produce large-scale green hydrogen. Platinum on Carbon (Pt/C) is a state-of-the-art cathode catalyst due to its moderate hydrogen binding energy and high resistance to acid corrosion,…

Photoactivated ketones show strong potential as hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysts, enabling the activation of carboxylic acids and the formation of new C–C, C–S, and C–Cl bonds. Carboxylic acids are common components in bioactive compounds and serve as widely available building blocks in organic synthesis. When transformed into carboxy radicals...Read More

Home Hydrogen Hydrogen Europe: EU’s low-carbon rules improve, but still fall short of market needs July 10, 2025, by Aida Čučuk Hydrogen Europe, an association representing the European hydrogen industry, has acknowledged improvements in the final version of the European Commission’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Delegated Act, but noted that the…

Home Hydrogen European Commission completes hydrogen framework with new low-carbon methodology July 9, 2025, by Aida Čučuk The European Commission has adopted a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission methodology for low-carbon hydrogen and fuels, as set out in the Hydrogen and Gas Market Directive, completing the European Union’s (EU’s) regulatory framework…
