Who Benefits from Tunisia’s Green Hydrogen Strategy? – EQ Mag
As the global energy sector sought to revamp itself over recent years, several countries around the world have joined a race toward green hydrogen –labelled “energy of the future”. Unlike grey hydrogen, made by fossil fuels (natural gas) and a significant source of greenhouse gases,1 2 green hydrogen is generated by electrolysis whereby water is […]
Not a ‘panacea’: UK lawmakers play down hydrogen’s role in net-zero shift – EQ Mag
Hydrogen can be produced in a number of ways, including electrolysis — where an electric current splits water molecules. This results in “green” or “renewable” hydrogen, when the electricity used comes from a renewable source, such as wind or solar. Most current hydrogen generation is based on fossil fuels. Hydrogen has a part to play […]
Will new US incentives for ‘green’ hydrogen actually reduce emissions? – EQ Mag
The Inflation Reduction Act steers billions to boost green hydrogen, but unless carefully monitored, that money could spur an increase in climate pollution. The United States stands at a pivotal point on the path to addressing climate change. The Inflation Reduction Act will over the next decade unleash hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies […]
Using sound waves to turbo charge green hydrogen production – EQ Mag
Engineers in Melbourne have used sound waves to boost production of green hydrogen by 14 times, through electrolysis to split water. Their invention offers a promising way to access cheap hydrogen fuel for a number of sectors, including transport. The application of green hydrogen in these sectors could rapidly reduce carbon emissions and help fight […]
Can hydrogen live up to its clean energy promise? Here are 3 key challenges – EQ Mag
Hydrogen holds important promise as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. But as governments and companies pour tens of billions of dollars into hydrogen energy technologies, we need to make sure that we’re asking the hard questions that we should be asking about this emerging industry. Hydrogen is a leak-prone gas with a potent warming […]
UK ministers float plan for ‘hydrogen-ready’ domestic boilers from 2026 – EQ Mag
BEIS says strategy will reduce replacement costs but cautions there is no guarantee homes will ultimately run on the gas Ministers are considering requiring that all new domestic boilers be “hydrogen-ready” from 2026, as they announced £100m for nuclear and hydrogen projects. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has launched a consultation […]
bp to explore potential for green hydrogen production in Egypt – EQ Mag
bp signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Egypt under which it will explore the potential for establishing a new green hydrogen production facility in the country. The MoU was signed by bp, Egypt’s New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), the General Authority for Suez Canal […]
Air Products, AES to invest $4 bln in building largest U.S. green hydrogen plant – EQ Mag
Air Products & Chemicals will build a $4 billion hydrogen plant in northern Texas in a joint venture with AES Corp. that will use renewable energy and produce gas without emitting carbon. The hydrogen plant will be powered by solar and wind energy gathered at the site. The gas will be produced by electrolyzers, which […]
Prototype Corolla Cross Hydrogen Concept Highlights Toyota’s Multi-Path Approach To Zero – EQ Mag
Hydrogen combustion prototype illustrates another possible alternative path to zero emissions Accelerated development through motorsport activity leads to encouraging progress Room for 5 passengers and their luggage highlights daily practicality Winter testing to begin shortly in northern Japan In a world of dramatically varying customer needs and market environments, Toyota’s approach to carbon neutrality is […]
