Producing Green Hydrogen with Renewable Electricity
Hydrogen is an essential component of fuel cells. Sure, we all know that. However, did you know that all types of the gas are not created equally? Green hydrogen has gained a lot of momentum in renewable circles today. Hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water. The process involves passing an electric current through water (under regulated conditions) to break its chemical composition. A ...

Upscaling of Innovative Green Hydrogen Applications - Case study
In recent years, production of green hydrogen (hydrogen produced without associated greenhouse gas emissions) has received growing support from European Union policy bodies, in order to establish and develop a hydrogen economy and to aid in security of energy supply for Europe. One method of producing green hydrogen is of course, electrolysis of water, but there are also other ways to produce ...

Green hydrogen energy production and its critical importance on clean water
As the global economy starts to fully integrating other sources of energy in addition to fossil fuel, solar and wind, green hydrogen is starting to gain momentum. Global leaders across industry and governmental agencies are developing aspiring and potentially paradigm shifting ways to produce lower carbon energy fuels such as hydrogen. In the interim, other companies are evaluating how hydrogen ...

E-fuels are crucial to sustainable heavy transport
Synthetic fuels produced from electricity, or e-fuels, will play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions from long-distance truck transport, aviation and shipping. For long-distance freight transport and shipping, synthetic methanol, diesel and LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) are the most attractive options; for deep-sea shipping, synthetic ammonia is also an important option. For aviation, only ...

Hydrogen Market in APAC
Hydrogen as a clean and green energy resource has attracted extensive attention to hydrogen research and application worldwide. Recently, APAC’s countries, like Australia, Japan, Korea, China, have issued some new policies to support hydrogen development, and even some of those put the development of hydrogen energy at a strategic level. This report mainly introduces the development and ...

For the Green Deal, hydrogen also needs to be green
The new European Commission is planning a European Green Deal. The goal is to create the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. This cannot happen without using much more hydrogen than at the moment because hydrogen is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen. However, not all forms of hydrogen are alike. We need to shift from grey hydrogen, the production of which causes CO₂ ...

The Top COP27 Summit Highlights (By Region of World))
The U.N. Climate Conference (COP27) might be over, but it's time to see if leaders will act on the commitments they made at the event. Many agreements emerged from the two-week summit, with countries committing to creating loss and damage funds, holding institutions and businesses accountable, providing financial support for developing countries, and limiting warming to 1.5°C. But what ...

Urgently sought by business: more renewable energies
While some in politics and the public still believe that they are doing Greta a favor with more renewables, the calls of the economy for a much faster expansion of renewable energies are getting louder. Who are the actors and what is behind them? RE100 - global large companies want 100% Renewable The RE100 initiative I mentioned in the last blog, and was asked again to respond. This initiative ...

The Motorship: Ammonia could be the answer to Shipping’s Hydrogen Challenge
There are already plans on the table to create green, carbon-free hydrogen from renewables, so the maritime industry has begun its search for the next step, one which would allow H2 to be turned into a more easily storable, transportable form of fuel. Ammonia could be the answer, writes Stevie Knight. Surprisingly, ammonia’s volumetric energy density is higher than liquefied hydrogen, says ...

Annual PV O&M costs set to double by 2024; US pulls tariff exemptions for bifacial panels
Annual solar O&M costs set to hit $9 billion by 2024: WoodMac Annual global solar operations and maintenance (O&M) costs will double from around $4.5 billion in 2019 to $9.4 billion in 2024, as installed PV capacity grows, Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables said in a new report. By 2024, inverter replacement costs alone will hit around $1.2 billion, representing around 13% of O&M ...

European Commission to Increase Biogas Production for Energy Independence
The European Union is looking to decrease its energy dependence on Russian gas. The EU Commission has proposed to increase the bio-methane production from 3 billion cubic meters in 2020 to 35 billion cubic meters by 2030. It is an irony that the gas package for legislation presented by the European Commission in December 2021 might not have been a priority for the French EU Council Presidency, ...

Biofuel from algae? photobiological hydrogen production and CO2-fixation
The reduction of CO2-emissions that are damaging our climate is one of the major challenges of contemporary energy management. Nature itself offers us possibilities to produce energy CO2-neutrally with the help of hydrogen producing micro-algae. Under certain conditions the light energy collected by photosynthesis is used to transfer electrons to hydrogen producing proteins called hydrogenases. A ...

Setting a course for net-zero: Repsol’s role in the energy transition
In December 2019, Repsol committed to becoming a net-zero emissions company by 2050. The international multi-energy company was the first in the oil and gas industry to make this ambitious pledge, raising more than a few eyebrows around the globe. This did not, however, come out of the blue. Repsol was also the first company in the sector to endorse the Kyoto Protocol. The decision to take ...

Where does CO2 free hydrogen gas come from?
It’s no longer a question whether hydrogen will have a major impact on the automotive industry, but rather an accepted fact that it will. Volvo’s and Daimler’s recent announcement (read here) of joint efforts in developing and manufacturing fuel cells is the latest sign of the importance of hydrogen for energy storage. But how is hydrogen produced, where does the gas come from, ...

Producing Hydrogen via Electrolysis
Electrolysis has been gaining momentum in recent times as an option for carbon-free hydrogen production from both nuclear and renewable sources. Electrolysis uses electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen inside a unit called an electrolyzer. This article will outline the process of electrolysis, how it works, and its ...

New Pathways to Sustainable Efficiency
We are living in a digital explosion. The way goods and services are procured, produced, delivered, and consumed is increasingly driven by information technology. More work is done remotely. More interactions are digital. And more operations are automated. Almost all industries have undergone a quantum leap in technology, opening new pathways to efficiency, sustainability, and ...

Does ESG Have to Cost the Earth?
The term ESG may be new to most, and while it has only recently emerged as a global force, it dates as far back as 2005. Its aspirational beginnings vaporised quickly when talk of buildings with poor ESG ratings becoming “stranded assets” entered the narrative. Nobody wants to find themselves with one (or many) of those. A panic of sorts has now set in with one company trying to outdo ...

Hydrogen plays a key role in the European Green Deal
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen launched the European Green Deal last Wednesday, on 11 December. The goal is ambitious. If the European Green Deal becomes reality, the European Union will become climate neutral by 2050. To reach the goal, the EU will have to overturn almost every policy area. Europe inevitably needs hydrogen to reach this arduous goal. Looking at the ...

Hydrogen as Future Fuel for Gas Engines
Gas engines are providing a wide range of fuel flexibility from burning natural gas and a variety of non- natural gaseous fuels from low British Thermal Unit (BTU) gases as well as gases containing a high hydrogen content. Hydrogen containing gases can be found as by-product from steel (furnace gas) or chemical process, or alternatively hydrogen is produced and blended to natural gas. In the ...
