Hydrogen civilisation concept: historical and all-planetary aspects
This paper discusses the novel Hydrogen Civilisation (HyCi) concept of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy. The HyCi concept states that at this demanding period in history, humanity still has the ability to save the biosphere and make the continuation of the human race possible. This objective can be achieved only by way of all-planetary cooperation along the direction of the ...

Energetic and exergetic performance assessment of some coals in Turkey for gasification process
This paper undertakes a study on energetic and exergetic performance evaluation of various types of coals in Turkey, such as Armutcuk, Amasra, Zonguldak and Catalagzy hard coals and Tuncbilek, Beypazari, Cayirhan, Afsin, Soma, Yatagan, Can and Sorgun lignites for gasification purposes, where syn-gas may subsequently be used for the production of electricity, heat, hydrogen, etc. in industry. The ...

Sources and technology for hydrogen production: a review
A comprehensive review of various processes and possible sources of hydrogen production are discussed in this paper. The various process for hydrogen production reviewed includes industrial process i.e. steam reforming, thermal cracking, partial oxidation of fossil fuels, coal gasification, electrolysis, thermochemical etc. and new emerging processes like photolysis, photo-voltaic electrolysis, ...

Building New Industries and Creating New Jobs in a Plan B Economy
Building a new economy, one that can sustain economic progress, involves phasing out old industries, restructuring existing ones, and creating new ones. This new economy will be powered by renewable sources of energy, will have a more diverse transport system--relying more on rail, buses, and bicycles, and less on cars--and will recycle everything. For example, coal use will be phased out, ...

Renewable and nuclear heresies
Renewables are not green. To reach the scale at which they would contribute importantly to meeting global energy demand, renewable sources of energy, such as wind, water and biomass, cause serious environmental harm. Measuring renewables in watts per square metre that each source could produce smashes these environmental idols. Nuclear energy is green. However, in order to grow, the nuclear ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Planet Before Profit
The question of Profit before Planet is not tenable anymore. It is too selfish to think of Wealth at the cost of Planet. Unfortunately, it is still not sinking in our mind @ speed at which it should except Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Adelaide Charlier (Belgium), Luisa Neubauer (Germany), Xyie Bastida (Mexico), Prof Johan Rockstrom, most influential Earth Scientist (Sweden) and David Attenborough ...

Hydrogen production technology for powering civil and industrial systems: a review
Partial use of alternative energy exemplified by hydrogen energy is expected to reduce negative impacts associated with the current dependence on fossil energy and bring net gain to regional and national economies. Hydrogen has emission levels that are far below the existing and possibly, future standards. Hydrogen energy may enhance energy security and perhaps allay concerns some concerns about ...

South Africa`s fuel cell plan risks failure without support
An ambitious strategy to create fuel cell products for export will need incentives and cross-government backing to bear fruit, says Radhika Perrot. South Africa's Department of Science & Technology (DST) has been laboriously pushing for the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology through an ambitious research and development (R&D) strategy since 2005. Fuel cells can convert the ...

How Will Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Contribute to the Global Temperature Goal of 1.5°C?
Let’s begin: what Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage is and how it works Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) consist of a series of technologies to capture carbon (usually as CO2) emitted by various processes, to then either be used or stored in an underground reservoir. Carbon capture can be achieved as part of an industrial process, such as hydrogen, ammonia or ethanol ...

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 ...
