Green Hydrogen: Why It Could Be The Green Energy Source Of The Future – EQ Mag
Kim Gunnelius is Managing director of Verne Global, a provider of climate-neutral certified data center services; co-author of Greener Data. The process of using renewable electricity such as wind or solar power to split water and produce hydrogen in an environmentally responsible way—that’s the definition of the sustainable energy production technology that may be reaching […]
50 more R105bn Hive Hydrogen projects still not enough if demand projections continue, says GM – EQ Mag
JOHANNESBURG : The R105-billion investment pledge by Hive Hydrogen at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s fifth South Africa Investment Conference was the biggest by far, resulting in Engineering News & Mining Weekly pursuing more information on it, only to find that the initial R105-billion is only Phase 1. Remarkably, even 50 more R105-billion Hive Hydrogen projects would […]
Is Green Hydrogen Always Green? – EQ Mag
Governments shouldn’t be rewarding firms that are actually emitting more CO2e just because they are making hydrogen. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), along with Canadian, EU, and other jurisdictional policies, are incenting a transition to green hydrogen, albeit in different ways and with often foolish use cases. If governmental money is a thumb on the […]
Germany improving efforts to meet 2030 hydrogen goals, says E.ON – EQ Mag
Gas disruption, climate concern drive green energy course 2030 electrolysis capacity forecast raised 45% to 8.1 GW Import gap could shrink to 43.5 TWh/p.a. in 2030 Investors need more assurance that grids will be ready FRANKFURT : Germany is getting nearer to goals for developing a green hydrogen market by the end of the decade, […]
Element Resources’ green hydrogen production facility fuels the energy transition – EQ Mag
The State of California is effectively mandating the conversion of its entire vehicle fleet, personal and commercial, to Zero Emission Status (ZEV) over the next few years. In response, Element Resources, a California-focused green hydrogen development company, is advancing hydrogen production facilities located in major prospective demand centres such as ports, warehouse districts, and major […]
6 reasons why hydrogen is a fuel of the future – EQ Mag
We have been putting hydrogen to use since at least the 17th century, decades before anyone really knew what it was — before Henry Cavendish first recognized it as a distinct element and named it in 1766. There are numerous ways to utilize hydrogen to enrich our lives: we use it for heat, for light, […]
Hydrogen valley founded in Estonia – EQ Mag

Expediting the development of the […]
UK has no public electric charger or hydrogen refilling station solely for HGVs – EQ Mag
Automotive sector’s lobby group warns deadline to end sale of fossil fuel trucks by 2040 may be missed The UK does not have a single public electric charger or hydrogen refilling station dedicated to lorries, with fewer than 12 years until the first ban on diesel engines comes into force, according to the automotive industry’s […]
Hydrogen Internal Combustion Mobility is Here – EQ Mag
As overall concern for climate change continues to grow and increasingly stringent environmental regulations go into effect, commercial fleets are assessing market-ready solutions that will help them achieve carbon neutrality across their wide-ranging vehicle applications. To that end, hydrogen and hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) are receiving a good deal of attention — understandably so. […]
