Scientists created solar panel to help cut down cost of hydrogen

Scientists have created a new type of solar panel that could help drive down the cost of sustainable hydrogen. The new solar panel achieved 9% efficiency in converting water into hydrogen and oxygen – mimicking a crucial step in natural photosynthesis. University of Michigan scientists developed a new kind of solar panel achieving 9% efficiency

India to invite bids for green hydrogen plants in May

India will by May invite bids for subsidies for setting up green-hydrogen manufacturing and utilisation hubs, fertiliser and steel plants based on the fuel, and factories for making electrolysers.

Targets for green hydrogen consumption set in India

India has set green hydrogen consumption targets for some industries, so as to generate demand for cleaner fuel in its quest to reach netzero by 2070. One of the world’s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, India approved a plan of incentives worth more than $2 billion last week to develop a green hydrogen production capacity

Study finds record efficiency in using artificial photosynthesis to make hydrogen

A study published has reported a way to achieve a relatively high efficiency in an artificial photosynthesis reaction in which water is split into oxygen and hydrogen using sunlight and a catalyst. The technique is called photocatalysis. Were this to work to plan, it could help lower the cost of green hydrogen. India’s Union Cabinet

IOC to monetise hydrogen units

Country’s largest public-sector refiner Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) plans to hive off hydrogen producing units and sulphur recovery facilities at its refineries to a separate entity and then sell stakes in it to the private sector to raise close to Rs 10,000 crore. The plan is in line with the government’s asset monetisation programme where

South Korea to import hydrogen

The South Korean government announced that hydrogen produced in Malaysia and the UAE would be imported in 2027 and later for the purpose of power generation and export after conversion into ammonia. The hydroelectric power generation-based hydrogen in Malaysia is scheduled to be supplied by Samsung Engineering and Lotte Chemical. In the UAE, Korea Electric

Megaprojects for hydrogen production initiated by WA Government

The Western Australian (WA) government announced it had earmarked land for seven projects collectively valued at $70 billion at two heavy industrial estates near the Pilbara coastal towns of Port Hedland and Onslow. WA state development minister Roger Cook said providing the land for projects including hydrogen, ammonia and green iron ore would help transform
