The majority of developed nations have adopted a strategy for clean energy, with the aim to decrease CO₂ emissions to meet a ‘net zero’ target within the next few decades. The utilization of fossil fuels must cease if this target is to be achieved, with other energy sources compensating for the shortfall. The lack of […]
Hawaii Gas seeks to buy RNG, renewable hydrogen – EQ Mag
Hawaii Gas has issued a request for proposals to purchase renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable hydrogen in line with its clean energy plan and strategy. The only regulated gas utility in the state of Hawaii is looking for up to 65,000 therms of RNG, up to 2,300 kg per day of renewable hydrogen, or […]
Commission outlines European Hydrogen Bank to boost renewable hydrogen – EQ Mag
Today, the Commission has set out new plans to stimulate and support investment in sustainable hydrogen production through a European Hydrogen Bank (EHB). Hydrogen can make a major contribution to the EU’s ambitions to end imports of Russian fossil fuels in the next few years and to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. This initiative is aimed […]

The $3 million study will be led by Port of Newcastle and Macquarie’s […]
Breakthrough Methods Help Integrate Renewable Hydrogen With Waste Carbon Dioxide To Produce Clean Fuels, Chemicals, and More – EQ Mag Pro
Wind, solar, and battery storage appear to be a winning combination for clean electricity systems, but to make the leap to a sustainable energy system, another ingredient is necessary: low-carbon fuels. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been collaborating with utilities and startups at the frontlines of high-renewable systems to make the technical and […]
Renewable hydrogen could reduce emissions in alumina refining
On behalf of the Australian Government, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has today announced up to $579,786 in funding to Rio Tinto to support a feasibility study investigating the potential to partially decarbonise its alumina refining operations using renewable hydrogen. Conventional alumina refining combusts natural gas to achieve the high temperatures necessary in the […]
Denmark’s Orsted to Work With South Korean Steel Giant on Offshore Wind, Renewable Hydrogen
Orsted wants to develop as much as 1.6 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind near Incheon, South Korea. A number of major firms have recently revealed plans to develop renewable hydrogen facilities. Energy firm Orsted has signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korean conglomerate POSCO that will focus on offshore wind and renewable hydrogen. In […]
Eiffel Tower Lit Up With Renewable Hydrogen
For for the first time of its history the Eiffel Tower has been illuminated Tuesday using electricity produced from certified renewable hydrogen. It’s been provided by zero-emission electro-hydrogen generators made by EODev, a fledgling company that resulted from research and development work carried out aboard the boat Energy Observer. Energy Observer founder Victorien Erussard commented […]
