Ensuring Electrical Safety in Hydrogen Operations

In this article we explore the current use of hydrogen in industrial processes, as well as its role in the ongoing global transition to a net-zero economy. We’ll provide insights into market opportunities and challenges, the latest processing technologies, and best practices in safety to help industry stakeholders as they face mounting pressure to scale up hydrogen production. Hydrogen can be very...

‘Competition was fierce’: Norway opens wallet for ammonia and hydrogen shipping

Norwegian state enterprise Enova has pumped NOK 1.2bn ($114m) into ammonia and hydrogen shipping in its largest outlay ever in the maritime transport sector. The awards were announced at a DNV event in Hovik attended by Norwegian climate and environment minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen and came after what Enova described as tough competition from shipping companies. Nine hydrogen-fuelled vessels and six...

Could big U.S. subsidies for Hydrogen create perverse incentives, raise emissions?

There is a danger that the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) subsidies for hydrogen production (defined in provision 45V) may create perverse incentives that do not reduce emissions and may increase them. James Sallee at the Energy Institute at Haas explains why. The goal is to make “green” hydrogen powered by newly built clean energy. But what if the generously subsidised hydrogen is made from...

‘Blue hydrogen threatens UK net zero goals’

The UK government policies promoting blue hydrogen and gas-powered carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects might jeopardise the country’s net zero targets.These projects allegedly underestimate emissions from imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), consuming a substantial portion of the UK’s Sixth Carbon Budget.That’s according to a report by Carbon Tracker, which warns that blue hydrogen and...

Why IRA hydrogen tax credit is lightning rod for controversy

Hydrogen is already produced at scale for use in making fertilizer and in the petrochemical industry. But more recently, hydrogen is being seen as a way to decarbonize industries like maritime shipping, long-haul trucking, steel-making, industrial heating, and aerospace. Also, its capacity as an effective way of storing energy makes it attractive for renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, which...

Hydrogen Market Trends Report 2024 (condensed version)

In the first quarter of 2024, India led activity with a surge in green hydrogen projects, comprising 58% of the total capacity announced globally, backed by government support and tender results. However, the overall capacity announced was three times less than in the previous quarter, indicating a cooling market transitioning from announcements to realization. Despite minor advancements globally,...
