To charge an EV, the vehicle is parked and attached to the charging point connection or socket by a charge point cable. EV charge points generally fall into 2 categories: standard charging and fast charging. Otherwise known as AC and DC charging. There are 2 types of AC charging: single phase or three phase. When […]
The hydrogen rainbow – EQ Mag Pro
When discussing hydrogen, you will often see reference to different colours of hydrogen. The colours refer to the method by which the hydrogen has been produced: Black and brown hydrogen is produced from different types of coal by gasification.

Liebreich: Capturing Only 90% of CO2 Emissions in Blue Hydrogen Production ‘Ain’t Good Enough’
Influential analyst Michael Liebreich tells Recharge that blue H2 producers should should work to eliminate carbon dioxide from the production process. Low-carbon blue hydrogen — derived from methane with carbon capture and storage (CCS)— has long been controversial, with many climate campaigners and renewables advocates arguing against any kind of subsidy support for the technology, […]
A Net-Zero World ‘Would Require 306 Million Tonnes of Green Hydrogen Per Year by 2050’: IEA
Vast amount of clean hydrogen would consume about 20% of the world’s electricity, according to landmark report from Paris-based agency. Achieving global net-zero emissions by 2050 will require about 306 million tonnes of green hydrogen derived from renewable energy each year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, Net Zero by 2050 – A […]
Renewables Evolution or Revolution? Pace of Tech Investments Will Decide
“The 2020s have to be a decade of innovation and early deployment – of low-carbon hydrogen – to get costs down,” said Tim Gould, head of division for energy supply outlooks and investment at the International Energy Agency (IEA). Global investment in energy transition technologies needs to more than double over the next few decades […]
How Saudi Arabia can thrive in a world beyond oil
