Today, roughly 70 metric MMtpy of H2 is produced to help meet rising global energy demands.1 Those are the highest levels in history; however, H2 comprises only a small fraction of the current global energy infrastructure.
The cost of H2 production depends on the natural gas price for SMR, the electricity cost for electrolysis and biomass, and the electricity cost for the biomass route.
A potential way to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change is replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles.
Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is an increasingly important aspect of corporate strategies and investment decisions.
Part 1 of this article, published in the Q3 issue, introduced the study concept and methodology for examining four transportation vectors to convert natural gas from Ras Laffan Industrial City in northeast Qatar into an H2 product at South Hook LNG terminal in Milford Haven, West Wales, UK.
EUSTREAM, Gas TSO of Ukraine (GTSOU), NET4GAS and OGE have joined forces to develop an H2 highway through Central Europe.
Hydrogen has been in the spotlight for the past 2 years. In a survey of approximately 340 global companies, conducted by AspenTech in June 2021, 65% of respondents said they were planning to invest in hydrogen in the next 5 years as one solution to greenhouse gas emissions.
The Middle East is rich in both fossil and renewable energy, in the forms of petroleum, sunlight and wind.
Aquaterra Energy has signed a partnership with Lhyfe and Borr Drilling to develop an innovative concept for offshore green H2 production in the North Sea.
The low-carbon H2 sector is set to double in size this year, according to research by BloombergNEF, helped by unexpected growth from China in the first half of the year.
Increasing concerns about environmental pollution related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is promoting the energy transition toward more sustainable energy production systems. These systems are based on renewable energy exploitation and circular economy principles.
The promise of safe and reliable hydrogen generation and distribution can be both exciting and daunting.
The UK has committed to drastically reducing its emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
H2Tech’s first H2Tech Solutions virtual conference, the must-attend event for sustainable H2 technology, was held on 18–19 May 2021.
Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) Database and Construction Boxscore Database are tracking 413 active and operating carbon-neutral and low-carbon H2 production and utilization projects around the world.
The international hydrogen economy is set to boom in the next few years with Europe emerging as the clear leader in investment and policy support for the sector.
