A new system for producing green hydrogen cheaply

What does it take to produce green hydrogen more efficiently and cheaply? Apparently, small ruthenium particles and a solar-powered system for water electrolysis. This is the solution identified by a joint team involving the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology, IIT) of Genoa, and BeDimensional S.p.A. (an IIT spin-off). The technology, developed in

Does hydrogen remain an environmentally friendly practice?

While hydrogen production is currently not deemed a water-intensive industry, there are indications that it can exert significant pressure in regions with scant water resources. In September 2020, China announced its goal of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. The country’s hydrogen energy industry has entered into an upswing phase,

Chinese startup launches gaseous-hydrogen truck

A Chinese start-up has unveiled the world’s first gaseous-hydrogen-powered truck with a range of more than 1,000km. Guangzhou-based Hybot says its H49 vehicle will only require 8kg of H2 per 100km when travelling at high speed with a full cargo load of 49 tonnes — partly due its low weight of less than nine tonnes,
