Green hydrogen is absolutely essential for decarbonizing the massive global warming problem that is current hydrogen use. Our current 120 million tons is a global warming problem on the scale of all of aviation. You would think that fixing that would be the highest priority, and that deeply irrational alternatives … [continued]
Many power-to-x firms and energy exporting companies are looking at Japan especially, but also other hydrocarbon light countries as a great market to send ammonia to as an energy carrier. That’s not going to end well. Why not? Let’s start with ammonia itself. It’s hydrogen and nitrogen. The nitrogen doesn’t … [continued]
Recently I’ve been reviewing studies related to hydrogen trucking, as it’s one of the few places where serious transportation research organizations still hold out hope for the energy carrier. I’ve looked at studies from multiple countries in Europe and North America back as far as 2010 now. Most recently I’ve … [continued]
Renault is banking on hydrogen electric fuel cell vans to grab a foothold in Europe, where interest in fuel cell mobility is picking up.
One of the interesting things I’ve been doing is participating in a review group for a European study on heavy vehicle decarbonization comparisons and simulations. That means, among other things, that I’m poking at the assumptions being used. As the paper is in review and assumptions are being tested and … [continued]
49 Projects Across 21 States and a New Funding Opportunity will Help Advance Next-Generation Technologies to Significantly Cut Emissions and Support President Biden’s Efforts to Build a Clean Energy Economy WASHINGTON, D.C. — In support of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $171 million … [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.
MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals. Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs. MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that … [continued]
Plans are being laid to produce green hydrogen at 10 new offshore energy hubs for offshore wind farms, totaling 100 gigawatts.
It’s always interesting to figure out why irrational things occur. In the case of London’s foolish hydrogen buses, apparently Wrightbus going into administration aka bankruptcy proceedings led to well-connected people like Wrightbus owner Jo Bamford’s father, Lord Bamford, the man who inherited British firm JCB and was also knighted for … [continued]
