Hydrogen Mission needs solid implementation – EQ Mag
Eco push. For creating demand for green hydrogen, a combination of competitive procurement and subsidy is needed The National Green Hydrogen Mission is highly ambitious. The goal is ‘to make India the Global Hub for production, usage and export of Green Hydrogen’ and ‘to assume technology and market leadership’. The production of 5 million tonnes […]
Scientists Find New Way To Make Hydrogen Directly From Seawater – EQ Mag
Almost all the world’s hydrogen currently comes from fossil fuels and its production is responsible for around 830 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year. green hydrogen production processes were both costly and relied on fresh or desalinated water. electrolysers currently use expensive catalysts and consume a lot of energy and water – it […]
Five firms make the PLI cut to manufacture hydrogen-powered vehicles – EQ Mag
Ashok Leyland, Eicher, Pinnacle, Tata, and Booma get the nod The government selected five companies — Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors, Pinnacle Mobility, Tata Motors, and Booma Innovative – for manufacturing hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles under the Rs 25,938-crore production-linked incentive scheme for the automobile and auto component industry (PLI-Auto), Minister of State for Heavy […]
Column: How realistic is a hydrogen-powered economy? – EQ Mag
LITTLETON, Colorado : Clean-burning hydrogen has been hyped as a potential solution to a swath of climate-related energy problems, from fuelling trucks and powering industry to generating electricity – all while emitting only puffs of harmless vapour. The fuel is getting backing from an array of influential stakeholders, including fossil fuel firms which hope to […]
Is 2023 the Year When Green Hydrogen Will Take Off? – EQ Mag
In a world full of pollutants, concerns about sustainability, and the aim to carry zero-carbon footprints, green hydrogen is serving as a ray of hope for a healthy, green world.

The Netherlands Chooses Site for World’s Largest Offshore Wind-to-Hydrogen Project – EQ Mag
The Dutch government has designated an area for what will become the world’s largest offshore hydrogen production project. That area is Ten noorden van de Waddeneilanden (the North of the Wadden Islands), identified earlier for offshore wind development and deemed most suitable for providing 500 MW of electrolysis capacity and for the transport of hydrogen […]
Seven countries reject nuclear-derived hydrogen from EU renewables law – EQ Mag
A group of seven EU countries led by Germany have rejected calls to incorporate nuclear-made hydrogen into the bloc’s green transport targets, reigniting a dispute with France that has held back an agreement on the bloc’s renewable energy directive. In a letter to the European Commission, the seven countries reiterate their opposition to including nuclear […]
Cost reduction critical for spirited adoption of green hydrogen – EQ Mag
Tech advancements, regulatory support key to reduce cost, raise competitiveness Green hydrogen will need a combination of technological advancements and regulatory support to boost cost-competitiveness compared with other energy sources and find wide and accelerated adoption in India. Globally, green hydrogen is expected to play a pivotal role in achieving decarbonisation goals. While transition from […]
Toyota’s plans for hydrogen-powered carbon neutral race car go up in flames – EQ Mag
Toyota’s hydrogen-powered Toyota GR Corolla won’t take to the track in Japan this weekend after a fire seriously damaged the revolutionary race car. A Toyota GR Corolla race car powered by hydrogen – rather than high-octane petrol – has been withdrawn from a racing event in Japan after catching fire during testing. In April 2021, […]
