I visited IBM’s headquarters in Yorktown last December, arriving just after a snowstorm had rolled through the Hudson Valley. The timing was fitting. Quantum computing, like winter weather, is something people talk about constantly but many don’t experience directly. At IBM’s Quantum Technology labs, you can at least hear the … [continued]
Der Vergleich zwischen Deutschlands Wasserstoff-Backbone von nirgendwo nach nirgendwo und Chinas angeblich über 1.000 km langer Wasserstoffpipeline taucht immer wieder auf und wird oft als Beleg dafür gerahmt, dass Deutschland lediglich früh dran sei und nicht falsch liege. Das ist eine berechtigte Frage, denn aus der Distanz wirken beide Projekte … [continued]
I wrote another technoeconomic assessment of why hydrogen will not be cheap, and the reaction from hydrogen advocates was familiar. They focused on small pieces of the analysis and treated each point as if it existed in isolation. That pattern confirmed something important. The debate is not about one technology … [continued]
After publishing the summary of the study that assessed 2,000 hydrogen projects worldwide, one finding stood out. Across the total spectrum of use cases, electrification provided roughly 80% better emissions reductions than hydrogen. The data also showed that the overall climate benefit of hydrogen, once all losses and logistics were … [continued]
The Estonian electrolyzer firm Stargate Hydrogen is among the startups pursuing the global green hydrogen market.
Despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy the US green hydrogen industry is not dead yet, but China already has an edge on production capacity.
The leading Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar is expanding into the green hydrogen field with a focus on low cost alkaline electrolyzer technology.
Recently, I published a summary and expansion of critiques by Visa Siekkinen, an energy transition researcher now with Häme University of Applied Sciences in Finland, and Andrew Fletcher, Adjunct Industry Research Fellow at Griffith University in Australia, on hydrogen electrolyzer system capital expense estimates. Projections by organizations like IRENA, IEA, LUT, … [continued]
A new solar-powered, modular green ammonia system enables US farmers to cut fertilizer costs, stabilize supply chains, and compete against low-carbon goods in global markets.
We’ve seen this cycle before many times in renewable energy development — European adoption serves as a leading indicator of U.S. demand. By Jacob Susman, CEO of Ambient Fuels The past few months have seen a flurry of final investment decision announcements for green hydrogen projects in Europe. While the … [continued]
