LOW-CARBON HYDROGEN: A PATH TO A GREENER FUTURE – EQ Mag
Report from the Capgemini Research Institute With the global imperative towards sustainability driving organizations to explore sustainable energy solutions, the Capgemini Research Institute has been exploring possible routes to accelerating decarbonization. The most prominent hydrogen production methods continue to rely on fossil fuels. To solve this problem, the world is currently exploring “low-carbon hydrogen” (such […]
Hydrogen Is Here; This is How We Get It There – EQ Mag
Trucks with hydrogen-powered fuel cells will soon be rolling off assembly lines at many of the major vehicle manufacturers. At the same time, the trillion-dollar U.S. Infrastructure Act is supporting the build-out of hydrogen hubs. But all the hubs in the country won’t help the trucker whose tank runs out of fuel hundreds of miles […]
India’s green hydrogen plan opens a window of opportunity for R&D and manufacturing – EQ Mag
India’s plan to power its industries with green hydrogen has caught the world’s attention. While it is important to understand the challenges in implementing the ambitious scheme, it is also crucial to ensure the country does not become an “assembly economy” while embracing the eco-friendly fuel.Even as experts are unanimous that this will push the […]
IIT Mandi’s novel catalyst offers to make hydrogen more viable as fuel – EQ Mag
Scientists at IIT Mandi have created an innovative carbon-based catalyst that can enhance the efficiency of water electrolysis to generate green hydrogen. Water electrolysis and its Challenges Water electrolysis is the process of splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity inside an electrolyser. However, this process consumes a lot of electrical energy. A […]

Japan to raise hydrogen supply sixfold by 2040 to promote renewables – EQ Mag
TOKYO: Japan plans to increase its supply of hydrogen sixfold from the current level to around 12 million tons by 2040 in an effort to spur use of renewable energy, a draft revision to its resource policies showed Tuesday. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s government will aim to generate 15 trillion yen in investment from both […]
Producing Green Hydrogen Using Sustainable Catalysts – EQ Mag
Swansea and Grenoble experts have teamed up to create a realistic method for producing green hydrogen using sustainable catalysts. The experts now anticipate that their study will be a significant step in making green hydrogen production more simple, cheap, and scalable. The group has now developed engineered solvents that allow hydrogenases to act in air. […]
Cheshire villagers will not be forced to join hydrogen energy trial – EQ Mag
Backlash prompts companies to give residents option of keeping natural gas rather than joining pilot project Energy firms will no longer force people in a village in Cheshire to stop heating and cooking with natural gas and swap to lower-carbon hydrogen after a local backlash to a planned government-backed pilot. British Gas and Cadent had […]
Is cheap, clean hydrogen possible? The ‘green hydrogen’ battle, continued – EQ Mag
Big oil and energy companies say strict rules for hydrogen tax credits could kill a nascent industry. Clean-energy advocates say that’s dead wrong. Truly “green” hydrogen needs to be made with truly carbon-free power. But will strong hydrogen tax-credit rules that require the use of truly carbon-free power make it harder to create a green […]
