- Green Energy Oman to unlock huge ICV, job prospectsIn Hydrogen·March 28, 2022"Huge spinoffs: Localisation potential spans upstream, midstream and downstream segments of mammoth green hydrogen scheme" Source: https://www.omanobserver.om/article/1113463/business/energy/green-energy-oman-to-unlock-huge-icv-job-prospects #Hydrogen #HydrogenEnergy005
- Efficient energy: Newtrace is making production of green hydrogen 50pc cheaperIn Hydrogen·July 12, 2022After spending close to a decade studying and working in Europe, Prasanta Sarkar and Rochan Sinha returned to India to find the cities they’d grown up in dirtier, polluted, and more prone to sudden heavy flash rains than ever before. Prasanta, whose father worked in ONGC, India’s largest crude oil and natural gas company, had always been fascinated by energy, machines, and hardware. On the other hand, Rochan, who hailed from a family of doctors, had previously worked in developing technology for renewable energy systems such as solar fuel devices back in the Netherlands while pursuing his PhD.

- IEA: The future of HydrogenIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022"At the request of the government of Japan under its G20 presidency, the International Energy Agency produced this landmark report to analyse the current state of play for hydrogen and to offer guidance on its future development. The report finds that clean hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented political and business momentum, with the number of policies and projects around the world expanding rapidly. It concludes that now is the time to scale up technologies and bring down costs to allow hydrogen to become widely used. The pragmatic and actionable recommendations to governments and industry that are provided will make it possible to take full advantage of this increasing momentum." https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-hydrogen004
- US renewable H2 the cheapest form of hydrogen in the world?In Hydrogen·August 11, 2022Last Sunday, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed by the US Senate, including tax credits of up to 3$/kg for ten years. Such a tax credit would effectively reduce the current cost of $3.73/kg for green hydrogen down to $0.73/kg. That's cheaper than grey hydrogen. A green hydrogen price below $1/kg might immediately stimulate demand for green steel, and could do so in other industrial sectors such as cement and glass-making. The lower price might even make hydrogen-powered road transport more financially attractive, particularly as the IRA — which is expected to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed into law by President Joe Biden within the week — contains subsidies of up to $7,500 for fuel-cell cars and up to $40,000 for fuel-cell trucks (although battery electric vehicles are also eligible for the same funding). Aside from the US, only the UK has unveiled a national subsidy for clean hydrogen — based on contracts for difference that would make it cost competitive with grey, while the European Commission has announced plans for a similar scheme, which will require the sign-off of 27 nations and the European Parliament. Germany has also revealed a €900m ($920m) auction scheme for green hydrogen imports from outside the EU. https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/analysis-why-the-us-climate-bill-may-be-the-single-most-important-moment-in-the-history-of-green-hydrogen/2-1-1275143 What shall be the consequences for the European Hydrogen Economy?006
- Why green hydrogen -- but not grey -- could help solve climate changeIn Hydrogen·December 8, 2021"After decades of development, hydrogen and renewable electricity are poised to revolutionize the global energy system, enabling climate-friendly solutions. When combined with digital technologies, they will trigger economic growth as transportation, telecommunications and civil infrastructures become smart and interconnected. In a post-pandemic world, several countries have included hydrogen fuel in their national recovery strategies. Canada and the United Kingdom have incorporated net-zero targets and disclosures to climate risk into national legislation. By identifying hydrogen’s role explicitly, the world is creating an international market for related zero-carbon solutions."

- Big Oil’s New 'Clean'Fuel Is Dirtier Than They SayIn Climate & Geoengineering·December 8, 2021"Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, has a lot of promise for the energy transition: it can power cars, provide electricity to buildings, and be used to help decarbonize tough industries like manufacturing and construction. The problem with hydrogen is that it needs to be separated from other elements, which in and of itself takes a lot of energy. Hydrogen can be separated from oxygen in water via electrolysis to create what’s known as green hydrogen—an option free from any greenhouse gas emissions, but one that’s pretty expensive. It can also be harvested from fossil fuels like coal and gas, to create what’s known as gray hydrogen. This is a little cheaper than green hydrogen, but emits quite a lot of CO2 during the hydrogen extraction process."

- Watse Heat Recovery from ElectrolysersIn Hydrogen·July 27, 2022A PEM electrolyser has an efficiency of around 73% - losses tend to be heat. Electrolyser suppliers have for some time recognised that the waste heat could be re-used. The article below profiles the work done by a Swedish university which proposes re-covering the heat from a 100MW electrolyser and using it in a district heat system. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/07/13/waste-heat-from-hydrogen-production-for-district-heating/ The use of waste heat from hydrogen production in district heating could increase the attractiveness of green hydrogen, according to new research from Sweden. If this was done then the efficiency of a PEM electrolyser looks more like 94% - similar to a Li-ion battery. This illustrates the importance of taking a whole-systems approach to planning both electrical power systems, storage (in this case H2) and system optimisation.004
- Hydrogen ShipsIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022In Europe, hydrogen is part of the EU’s long-term strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050. Fully electric and electric-hybrid ships already operate in several countries, including Norway, and now a new project aims to build a zero-emission prototype vessel running on liquid green hydrogen (LH2). https://www.ship-technology.com/analysis/hydrogen-vessel/ https://www.offshore-energy.biz/worlds-first-hydrogen-powered-ships-one-step-closer-to-reality/003

- A future for fuel cellsIn Hydrogen·June 20, 2022"Hydrogen fuel cell technology is not a new development, and the use of these energy sources has, until recently, been in niche applications. Now, though, fuel cells are beginning to find their way into real automotive use as a means of facilitating the goal of ‘zero emission’ vehicles with supporting investment of significant proportions" https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/technology/a-future-for-fuel-cells/42772.article005

- The Human-like AI Robot Sophia Wants to Become a MotherIn General AI·December 8, 2021"Sophia is a social human-like AI robot developed by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made its first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States. In 2017, Sophia made history by becoming the first human-like AI robot to be granted legal citizenship. This human-like AI robot, with nationality of Saudi Arabia, has made various controversial statements, but the most recent has left the world speechless: she wants to have a robot baby and start a family."
