About 25 years ago, hydrogen was the solution of choice for climate-aware technocrats and politicians, and with good reason. At the time, there really wasn’t much choice in terms of low-carbon energy carriers. Batteries were good enough for laptops and phones, but clearly no one was going to be running … [continued]
Everybody is suddenly talking about liquid green hydrogen, not just any old hydrogen, and that could help explain a potential pause in approvals for new LNG terminals in the US.
The Rocky Mountain Institute is a respected organization that has done great work since its founding in 1982. Amory Lovins, its founder and long its leader, is a tremendous thought leader who was ahead of his time. He’s been proven right on many things. And he’s been proven wrong on … [continued]
A new electrolysis system can pump green hydrogen from water without an expensive membrane, taking a giant step toward the $1-per-kg goal.
Cutting back on fossil fuels is hard enough for ground transportation. Electric cars and trucks are more expensive than their ICE counterparts, and even if the TCO is lower, that doesn’t make it any easier to get approved for a higher payment. Even the EV heavyweights like Tesla are struggling … [continued]
The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is a US-headquartered think tank with offices globally. It’s been around since 2001. It was founded with noble ideals and funding from progressive and climate-focused foundations including the Hewlett and Packard family foundations and the Energy Foundation. Its mission and vision is to … [continued]
The US Air Force aims for battery electric aircraft, hydrogen fuel cells, and efuels to cut itself loose from the fossil fuel supply chain.
The US Air Force has put its seal of approval on the new X-66A green aircraft demonstrator project from NASA and Boeing, aimed at cutting fuel consumption by 30% and setting the stage for net zero emissions.
Like the tiny corkscrew, blade, and toothpick on the Swiss Army knife, hydrogen just isn’t the go-to molecule if there are alternatives, and there are almost always alternatives. And in hydrogen’s case, a lot of the current use cases are going to diminish due to economic and climate imperatives, not grow.
The federal government has announced seven regional hydrogen development hubs in America to test new technologies.
