Canary Media thanks Verdagy for its support of the Clean Hydrogen series. Should our clean energy future rely more on electrons or on molecules? That’s the question at the core of the battle over clean hydrogen, a potential fossil-fuel substitute that burns without emitting carbon dioxide. Right now, the vast majority of the world’s energy comes from molecules — dirty ones. They’re the...
From Uche Usim, Washington DC The World Bank, on Monday, said that Nigeria and other Emerging Markets and Developing Countries (EMDCs) require a whooping $600 billion investments to achieve the clean hydrogen energy project by 2030. The largest hydrogen project under construction is in Saudi Arabia, which is projected to come on stream in 2026. To make the funding less...
Northwest Europe is at the forefront of low-emissions hydrogen development - though meeting the targets that countries in the region have set for 2030 will require further efforts from policy makers on a tight timeline, according to the latest edition of the IEA's Northwest European Hydrogen Monitor.The second edition of the Monitor, published today, finds that Northwest Europe - a region that includes...
Apr 17, 2024 Green hydrogen is not a fuel everyone talks about...not yet. For the first time in history, this unique fuel powered the Olympic flame at the Tokyo Olympics. The Olympic village was also powered by hydrogen made at a solar power plant. Toyota's Mirai cars, which run on hydrogen-fuel cells, provided most of the Games' official transport. This new age...
Stop thinking about electrolysis in terms of megawatts, writes Rick Beuttel, a longtime hydrogen expert and VP of Bloom Energy’s Hydrogen Business. Hydrogen is emerging as the clear choice to decarbonize industries like steel, transportation, and chemicals. Efficiency is key to scaling hydrogen as a viable renewable energy alternative. Of the technologies...
Air Products received funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to build two high-capacity, publicly accessible, low-carbon Hydrogen Refueling Stations in Duisburg and Meckenheim. This marks another milestone as the company continues building a European network of hydrogen refueling stations that will provide heavy duty...
Green hydrogen is not produced in Mexico, where most H2 is made from polluting fossil fuels for the country’s vast refining sector. But according to Mexico’s hydrogen trade body, Asociación Mexicana de Hidrógeno (AMH) there are at least 15 projects under development in the Latin American country, worth a total capex investment of $20bn — before the government has put in place any subsidies or...
In this article we track the progress of global hydrogen projects, take a look at the bottom-up modelling of market demand, and projections for the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH). After delays in final investment decisions (FIDs) for green hydrogen projects across 2022 and 2023, key bottlenecks could start to clear at the end of 2024, driven by regulatory certainty in the US, and USD 36bn of...
Demand signals from policymakers and future green hydrogen customers are not strong enough to incentivise renewable H2 production and must be ramped up, according to influential intergovernmental body, the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). In its latest “stock-take” on the global roll-out of green hydrogen, International Co-operation to Accelerate Green Hydrogen Deployment, Irena also...
BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 16. Environmentally friendly hydrogen and its derivatives are the key to achieving zero emissions by mid-century, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said, Trend reports. IRENA representatives participated in the Green Hydrogen Summit in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on April 16. "To generate the required amount of green hydrogen globally, electrolyzers with a total...
