Hydrogen, or H₂, is getting a lot of attention lately as governments in the U.S., Canada and Europe push to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. But what exactly is H₂, and is it really a clean power source? I specialize in researching and developing H₂ production techniques. Here are some key facts about this versatile […]
Can clouds of moon dust help stop global warming? – EQ Mag
Some scientists are proposing we launch tons of moon dust into space to reflect sunlight and cool the planet—but it’s a complicated climate solution. A group of U.S. scientists this week proposed an unorthodox scheme to combat global warming: creating large clouds of moon dust in space to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. In […]
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 […]
Carbon Capture Remains A Risky Investment For Achieving Decarbonisation – EQ Mag Pro
Shute Creek in the U.S. underperformed its carbon capture capacity by around 36% over its lifetime, Boundary Dam in Canada by about 50%, and the Gorgon project off the coast of Western Australia by about 50% over its first five-year period. The 90% emission reduction target generally claimed by the industry has been unreachable in […]
For hydrogen to be a climate solution, leaks must be tackled – EQ Mag Pro
Oil and gas companies and governments worldwide are increasingly looking to hydrogen as their pathway to decarbonization. Over 350 new projects worth $500 billion have been recently announced, according to the Hydrogen Council. The International Energy Agency says demand could increase sixfold by 2050. Before committing to this vast buildout, it is essential to understand […]
