Developing an Understanding of the Role of Hydrogen in Africa

As the African continent looks towards cleaner sources of fuel in a bid to address climate change, hydrogen has emerged as both a viable and critical resource. With renewable energy resources widely available across the continent, Africa has the potential to establish strong hydrogen markets, driving socio-economic growth and alleviating energy poverty. With hydrogen expanding

Scientists develop an energy-efficient method for hydrogen production with less carbon footprint

Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn’t typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it. And on Similar lines, Scientists at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy & New Materials (ARCI) have developed an energy-efficient method for hydrogen production with less carbon footprint.

China will build 1,000 hydrogen stations by 2030

According to the “Research Report on Hydrogen Manufacturing and Hydrogen Refueling Station Industry in China, 2016-2030” report, it is expected that 1,000 stations will be built by 2030. By the end of 2020, China had more than 7,000 FCEVs, making it the country with the largest number of fuel cell commercial vehicles in the world,

Incentives for green hydrogen likely in Union Budget

The government may provide for targeted fiscal incentives and allocation of funds for promotion of green hydrogen in the country in Union Budget 2022-23, which is slated to be unveiled in Parliament on Tuesday. The government launched National Hydrogen Mission in 2021. Earlier this month, Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister R K Singh

Hydrogen injects reality into gas-fired energy transition

This week’s world’s first shipment of liquid hydrogen from the port of Hastings in Victoria to Japan may prove as important to Australia’s future prosperity as the first shipment of iron ore to depart the Pilbara was in the 1960s. It marks an important milestone in the transition that Australia’s fossil fuel-based resource economy seeks

Hydrogen costs to fall over 95% by 2050

Investments to the tune of $10 trillion (Rs 744 lakh crore) in the hydrogen sector by 2050 will pull down the cost of the fuel and disrupt the energy sector, according to a new analysis. Hydrogen will be cheaper by 95 per cent by mid-century, according to the analyst group Rethink Energy. The impending hydrogen

Hydrogen demand set to ‘take off’ in mid-2030s

Hydrogen will account for 12% of global energy use by 2050, with demand set to “take off” in the mid-2030s, the International Renewable Energy Agency said in a report on January 15. At least 30% of hydrogen production could be traded across borders by 2050, a higher share than natural gas today, with over 30

Hyundai Heavy unit says technology to ship hydrogen ready by 2025

Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) expects to have the technology to transport hydrogen by ship by 2025, an executive said, targeting a breakthrough in supplying a fuel touted by supporters as offering a major source of clean energy. The development by KSOE 009540.KS, the shipbuilding arm of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group 267250.KS, one of

Wärtsilä launches major test programme towards carbon-free solutions

The technology group Wärtsilä continues to lead the ongoing transformation of the energy and marine sectors towards carbon-free solutions through its future fuel development work. The company is pioneering the adoption of hydrogen and ammonia as viable engine fuels through advanced testing in Wärtsilä’s fuel-flexible combustion engines. Hydrogen and ammonia contain no carbon, meaning the

Gas utilities push RNG and hydrogen to expand fossil fuel infrastructure

Electric and gas utilities are increasingly targeting customers, regulators, and investors with the promise of “renewable natural gas,” or biomethane, and hydrogen gas. In their promotions, the utilities have claimed that these technologies will allow them to build gas-fueled power plants and gas pipelines today while remaining on a pathway toward “net-zero” emissions climate goals.
