Europe’s green molecule push gains urgency as energy security fears mount

Europe’s drive to develop homegrown clean energy alternatives has taken on a sharper strategic edge, with senior industry figures and policymakers arguing that so-called green molecules – second-generation biofuels and green hydrogen – are no longer primarily a climate story but a matter of industrial survival. The assessment came at a Euractiv event on 4 June, where Spanish energy company Moeve...

South Africa Green Hydrogen Industrialisation Guide

The Industrial Logic Behind Green Hydrogen: Why the Molecule Is Only the Beginning The global energy transition is often framed as a story about replacing fossil fuels with cleaner alternatives. But for resource-rich economies sitting at the intersection of exceptional renewable endowments and critical mineral reserves, that framing misses the more consequential opportunity. Green hydrogen...

CHN Energy completes Rudong solar-hydrogen-storage project

CHN Energy Guohua Energy Investment Co, a China-based energy investor, has completed a solar-hydrogen-storage integrated project offshore from Rudong, East China’s Jiangsu Province. The project is China’s largest offshore PV demonstration project of its kind, integrating solar generation, hydrogen production, and energy storage. The project features 400 MW of PV capacity, a new 220 kV onshore...

US$ 7 billion, green hydrogen, and steel with up to 95% less CO₂: the first green steel plant on the planet emerges in Sweden and targets Brazil as the next chapter

US$ 7 billion, green hydrogen, and steel with up to 95% less CO₂: the first green steel plant on the planet emerges in Sweden and targets Brazil as the next chapter

Stegra is constructing in Boden, northern Sweden, the first large-scale industrial steel plant designed to produce steel with green hydrogen instead of coal. The project has already raised about $7 billion, with production scheduled for 2026, and half of the initial production is already sold.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Green hydrogen promises to replace fossil fuels, but requires ultrapure water and could make desalination a central piece of the energy transition in the Gulf Green hydrogen has become one of the most ambitious bets of the global energy transition because it can replace fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as heavy industry, transportation, and power generation....

A German startup just showed a panel that takes in sunlight and water and gives back hydrogen, no electrolyzer, no electricity, no grid. The working prototype is one square meter, and the plan is to stamp them out like drywall

A German startup just showed a panel that takes in sunlight and water and gives back hydrogen, no electrolyzer, no electricity, no grid. The working prototype is one square meter, and the plan is to stamp them out like drywall

KeysQuestions4Vehicle1The hydrogen industry's two-machine problem — solar panel plus electrolyzer — may have just been solved by four researchers out of Germany with a single panel that skips electricity entirely and produces fuel directly from sunlight and water.The patent-filed internal geometry is doing three jobs simultaneously inside one square meter of material, and that last job — gas...
