Geopolitics of Europe’s Hydrogen Aspirations: Creating Sustainable Equilibrium or a Combustible Mix? – EQ Mag Pro
Discussions about hydrogen’s role in the transition to carbon-neutral economies and the EU’s Green Deal seldom include consideration of geopolitical aspects and/or national security imperatives. However, given the importance of energy as a factor in global and regional geopolitical trends and national security, hydrogen development will reshape not only energy relations between countries but will […]
GAIL to set up green hydrogen plant at Guna in MP – EQ Mag Pro
New Delhi: State-owned GAIL (India) Ltd will build one of India’s largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at Guna in Madhya Pradesh to produce green hydrogen by the end of 2023, as it looks to supplement its natural gas business with carbon-free fuel. In a statement, India’s largest gas transporting and marketing firm said it […]
Energy Resilience Could Be Improved Thanks to Emerging Hydrogen Storage Technology – EQ Mag Pro
With the rise in renewable energy as well as increasing uncertainty associated with outages due to power surges and extreme weather events, energy storage plays a key role in ensuring reliable power supply to critical infrastructure such as healthcare facilities, data centers, and telecommunications.

OPINION: Rethinking humanity: Era of hydrogen? – EQ Mag Pro
In an ideal scenario, by 2050, the threat of climate change may no longer loom over the world as most countries would have achieved their net-zero ambitions – absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emit. On the other extreme, the global climate may undergo irreversible change threatening the modern civilization. Scientists have […]
New report sets out key steps to unlocking at least 5 gigawatts of green hydrogen: RenewableUK – EQ Mag Pro
RenewableUK has published a series of key policy recommendations in a new report to help the Government achieve its target of 10GW of low carbon hydrogen by 2030, including at least 5GW from green hydrogen production. This will boost the UK’s energy security by replacing expensive imported gas with a clean home-grown energy source, and […]
WA proposes renewable hydrogen target for main electricity grid – EQ Mag Pro
Western Australia has flagged it is looking at a renewable hydrogen target for its main grid, in a move to encourage that the gas generators that account for more than one quarter of its generation to go at least partially green. It will be the first such target in Australia, possibly the world, and the […]
Costly and impractical: IRENA warns against hydrogen blending in gas networks – EQ Mag Pro
A major international energy body has warned that efforts to blend hydrogen into mains gas supplies could be costly and impractical, and push up household energy costs for minimal emissions reduction. The new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) warns that blending hydrogen in mains gas networks is a complicated way of cutting […]
