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,

New research enhances hydrogen production efficiency from water

Researchers from Korea and USA have developed highly efficient photoanodes that suppress undesirable losses associated with photoelectrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production and enhances the reaction kinetics. Hydrogen is a promising fuel that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a clean-burning energy source that can be used

MOL project to produce pure water for hydrogen generation

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) is promoting the Wind Hunter Project, which harnesses offshore wind energy to produce hydrogen from water onboard and convert it into propulsion for vessels, to realize a decarbonized, hydrogen-based society. However, hydrogen production requires a higher level of water purity, even more than drinking water. During the Wind Hunter hydrogen

EPFL tests solar dish reactor to generate hydrogen gas

Engineers at EPFL have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water. The system is not only highly efficient at producing hydrogen, it also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat to put them to use too. Hydrogen is set to be a key player in renewable

A New Method Of Producing Green Hydrogen From Water Discovered

University of California scientists have discovered a novel method of producing hydrogen gas from water at room temperature, according to a report from Newsweek. The simplest and most abundant element in the universe is hydrogen. Only one proton and one electron make up this atom. According to Santa Cruz Works, the distinctive aluminium nanoparticles combine

Scientists devise a cheaper way for producing green hydrogen

As the race is on for ample clean energy sources to mitigate climate change, hydrogen is being seen as a promising source of renewable energy. Green hydrogen emits no carbon, but there is a downside: its production remains complex and costly. Scientists worldwide are working on more efficient and affordable ways of producing no-carbon hydrogen
