The facility in Xinjiang will use renewable energy to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which can then be liquefied and used as fuel. The facility should help to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by around 500,000 tonnes a year. The project in Kuqa in the south of the region uses … Continue reading China building world’s largest green hydrogen plant

Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
Hydrogen has emerged as the great white (or green) hope of the clean energy transition due to its potential use in decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like shipping, steel production, and even transport. These sectors are tricky to electrify. Cargo ships for example, can’t necessarily recharge battery supply in the middle of the ocean, and cutting emissions … Continue reading Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains

A Quarter of Global Hydrogen Set for Trading by 2050
Green hydrogen trade can provide a low-cost alternative that diversifies energy imports and improves energy security, says new IRENA report. To make hydrogen trade cost-effective, the costs of producing and trading green hydrogen must be lower than domestic production to offset higher transport costs. A new report series released by the International Renewable Energy Agency … Continue reading A Quarter of Global Hydrogen Set for Trading by 2050

Vattenfall aims to build the world’s first offshore hydrogen cluster in the Netherlands
In the future, more and more of our energy will come from wind energy and solar power. Since nothing changes as much as the weather, the amount of electricity supplied by wind turbines and solar is also in a constant state of flux. How can we overcome this? How can we ensure that the supply … Continue reading Vattenfall aims to build the world’s first offshore hydrogen cluster in the Netherlands
