Is the green hydrogen dream over? – DW – 09/17/2025

In 2022, the Australian mining and energy company Fortescue signed a deal with E.On, a German energy network and infrastructure operator, to supply up to five million tons of low-emission green hydrogen to Europe annually. "The race for large-scale production and transportation of green hydrogen has taken off," said Robert Habeck, then German minister for economic affairs and climate action, of the...

New breakthrough could make ‘green’ hydrogen cheaper, faster to produce

New breakthrough could make ‘green’ hydrogen cheaper, faster to produce

A Ph.D. candidate, Yukihiro Takahashi, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has found a way to make hydrogen fuel cheaper, more efficient, and faster. If scaled, this new process could help make hydrogen more economically viable as an alternative to other fuels, like fossil fuels. Hydrogen has been touted as a potential replacement for fossil fuels in things like ships and...

Goodbye to dependence on hydrogen mines—the United States commits to producing clean energy from the air with support from California

Goodbye to dependence on hydrogen mines—the United States commits to producing clean energy from the air with support from California

The new “gold” being mined here in the United States does not shine. Nor is it a sticky black liquid. Nor is it extracted from the ground. In fact, strange as it may seem, you are breathing this valuable asset we are talking about right now. The arid lands of Lancaster, north of Los Angeles, are the epicenter of our country’s energy future. There, nothing is extracted from the ground, but...

Texas went looking for hydrogen — instead, it may produce 1.4 million tons of “something that eats CO₂”

Texas went looking for hydrogen — instead, it may produce 1.4 million tons of “something that eats CO₂”

Bigger, better, Texas. The entire U.S. has been actively working towards the global mission of achieving net zero by 2050, while also trying to meet its own climate goals. To make this possible, significant investments have been made in expanding the country’s hydrogen infrastructure, with Texas also looking for hydrogen. Instead, it may produce 1.4 million tons of “something that eats...

Clean energy is still winning. These 10 charts prove…

It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for clean energy. There’s no better way to show those ups and downs than with a chart, and luckily, we made a lot of those this year. As 2025 comes to a close, let’s focus on just the ups. Here are 10 charts that prove the clean energy transition is still marching on in the U.S. and beyond....

“Energy storage, green hydrogen to fundamentally reshape India’s renewable energy ecosystem”

“Energy storage, green hydrogen to fundamentally reshape India’s renewable energy ecosystem”

In the next five years, technologies like energy storage and green hydrogen would fundamentally reshape India’s renewable energy ecosystem, a top executive said.“Storage will be a game changer in addressing intermittency, enabling renewables to deliver firm, dispatchable power. We are already seeing hybrid projects and battery-backed solutions provide four or more hours of reliable supply, which is...

Goodbye to hydrogen after China’s historic discovery — 1,500,000 tonnes of this green energy in the desert

Goodbye to hydrogen after China’s historic discovery — 1,500,000 tonnes of this green energy in the desert

There is green, greener, and then there is China. The Chinese have been developing an ultimate green facility to secure the country’s position as a leader in the global hydrogen production market. As China shifts its focus to the future capacity of 1,500,000 tonnes of green energy in the desert, one cannot help but be in awe of the benefits it has in store not only for China but also on a...

Namibia’s Hyphen project moves closer to viability as green hydrogen and ammonia plans progress

Namibia’s Hyphen project moves closer to viability as green hydrogen and ammonia plans progress

As the hydrogen and ammonia sector grows across the international market, Africa is set to boost its standing in the sector through the new Hyphen project in Namibia. ENERTRAG, the company responsible for developing the Hyphen project, has been working alongside the Namibian government to assess the viability of green hydrogen and ammonia production as the African continent is fostering a new...
