India’s green hydrogen plans are in motion. Here’s how to make it truly ‘aatmanirbhar’ – EQ Mag
The wheels on India’s green hydrogen mission are in motion. There are reports of the government extending the transmission fee waiver for green hydrogen production plants, significant cost incentives for producers, and plans for a green hydrogen aggregation demand tender. India’s INR 19,700-crore National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) is an ambitious move to help the […]
Why Airbus and others are betting on hydrogen-powered planes instead of electric planes – EQ Mag
With 4.5 billion passenger trips taken each year and more than 16 million planes taking off in the U.S. every year, aircraft are responsible for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, according to the Global Carbon Project, and the problem is growing. One proposed solution rivals the power of fossil fuels without the emissions — hydrogen. […]
Carbon capture, hydrogen are the main tools in Biden’s power plan – EQ Mag
Regulation aims to reduce facilities’ emissions of climate-altering gases — a goal that could require carbon burial. The administration of US President Joe Biden has proposed a landmark regulation that aims to curb emissions from the power sector in the United States over the next two decades. If it survives the legal challenges that are […]
How reality dawned for the ‘Swiss Army knife’ of energy – EQ Mag
Bullishness has yielded to a more sober view. Buyers and banks remain shy and would-be producers are wary about committing capital. It’s springtime in the Netherlands. The tulips are blooming, and in Rotterdam’s humid drizzle the European hydrogen industry this week mustered at a cavernous exhibition centre for its annual networking and matchmaking jamboree.
