Cornell University – Cryptocurrency mining, green hydrogen form ‘dynamic duo’ to thwart climate change. Pairing cryptocurrency mining – notable for its outsized consumption of carbon-based fuel – with green hydrogen could provide the foundation for wider deployment of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, according to a new Cornell Engineering...
Green Hydrogen
By Nickson Bukachi NAIROBI, Kenya, April 2 – As the world grapples with the urgent need to transition towards sustainable energy sources, Kenya is embracing innovative solutions to address its energy needs. One such promising solution is green hydrogen, long overlooked as a potential alternative energy and raw material source for industrial, transport, and domestic...
Morocco is set to embrace green hydrogen in a big way, allocating about 2.5 million acres (1 million hectares) of land to new projects to deliver the clean power source. Green hydrogen, produced when electrolysis converts water into hydrogen and oxygen, has the potential to power trucks, ships, or planes. The only byproduct is water, which is much better than planet-warming gases like carbon...
Pairing cryptocurrency mining with green hydrogen could boost deployment of renewable energy – study
The analysis involved the idea of supplying the available power from solar and wind energy systems to a green hydrogen and cryptocurrency mining infrastructure with the economic potential used for the expansion of renewable power installations. “Since current cryptocurrency operations now contribute heavily to worldwide carbon emissions, it becomes vital to explore opportunities for harnessing the...

AtkinsRéalis, a subsidiary of the SNC-Lavalin Group, has been chosen as the key player in the groundbreaking Projet Mauricie in Quebec, which aims to establish a green hydrogen hub for emissions reduction and industrial decarbonization. This ambitious initiative signifies a major leap forward in Quebec’s commitment to clean energy, providing an eco-friendly alternative for sectors that are...
Japan has unveiled a new vision for developing its next-generation in-house passenger jet. After delays and a troubled setback last year when a privately-led venture was discontinued, the new project marks a nationwide effort spearheaded by both the public and private sectors. This cutting-edge aircraft aims to incorporate “new environmental technologies” like hydrogen fuel or hybrid-electric...
A novel study from Cornell Engineering investigates how the historically energy-intensive world of cryptocurrency mining might boost renewable energy deployment. The research suggests strategically pairing crypto mining with green hydrogen technology could offer economic benefits and reduce the sector’s carbon footprint. The challenge of crypto’s power consumption With its vast...
