Hydrogen shows a lot of promise as a powerful, clean fuel source – as long as the process that creates it is also green. A new report shows how tough it might be to get to truly green hydrogen, while a new study removes a barrier to its creation.Contin… Continue reading Green hydrogen breakthrough swaps in water for iridium
You have to throw some energy away to make hydrogen – typically around 20-30%, even with the best systems, which use around 52.5 kWh of energy to create a kilogram of hydrogen that can store 39.4 kWh of energy. It’s a waste of renewable energy, and it contributes to the high cost of a green fuel option that’s really struggling to compete against fossils and batteries in many applications.

There’s enough natural hydrogen trapped underground to meet all projected demands for hundreds of years. An unpublished report by the US Geological Survey identifies it as a new primary resource, and fires the starter pistol on a new gold rush.Continue… Continue reading Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins
Coal is not generally thought of as a clean fuel source, but it might yet have a role to play in the push for greener energy. Researchers say that it could be a great material in which to store hydrogen gas, which is one of the most promising clean fue… Continue reading Coal’s green potential: storing energy instead of being burned for it
In 2017, Japan created a pioneering national hydrogen strategy, envisaging a carbon-neutral “hydrogen society.” But a Renewable Energy Institute report slams the policy as catastrophically misguided, with 70% of its 10-year budget “spent on bad ideas.”… Continue reading Report: Japan’s “hydrogen society” policy is a “complete failure”
The US Inflation Reduction Act is poised to kickstart a global hydrogen revolution. Among the bill’s many climate-focused provisions are tax credits that will make American green hydrogen the cheapest H2 in the world, as low as US$0.73 per kilogram (2…. Continue reading Climate bill includes massive, game-changing green hydrogen incentives
Hydrogen transport and generation powder Si+ was revealed last week, causing quite a stir with its promise of making renewable energy incredibly cheap, convenient and safe to transport – in stark contrast to the expense, inefficiencies and difficulties… Continue reading EAT’s Si+ lightweight hydrogen powder: Your questions answered
Wind power is a promising source of green energy and one that could feature in the production of green hydrogen. UK startup Drift Energy shows a different spin on that idea. Instead of creating windmill-derived electricity, its plan involves using AI-r… Continue reading Startup believes AI-guided hydrofoil flotilla is key to green hydrogen
Stir this silicon-based powder into water, and hydrogen will bubble out, ready for immediate use. Hong Kong company EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) says its Si+ powder offers an instant end to the difficulties of shipping and storing green energy.Continu… Continue reading Another hydrogen transport powder emerges, promising double the density
Australian scientists say they’ve made a “eureka moment” breakthrough in gas separation and storage that could radically reduce energy use in the petrochemical industry, while making hydrogen much easier and safer to store and transport in a powder.Con… Continue reading Mechanochemical breakthrough unlocks cheap, safe, powdered hydrogen
