On Fraunhofer’s collaboration in the Hydrogen Valley project, Fraunhofer India’s head Anandi Iyer said,” Fraunhofer has one of the largest capabilities around hydrogen with more than 36 institutes working on various technologies.” In line with its ambitious renewable energy targets, India could produce surplus green hydrogen for export to countries aiming for decarbonization, according to […]
Why Hydro Energy Storage Is Needed Despite Its Shortcomings – EQ Mag
Pumped hydro energy storage is a controversial issue, with its supporters believing it can help decarbonize the global economy and its detractors claiming dams destroy the environment. In order to reach a net-zero energy future, a whopping 6TWh of energy storage will be required and pumped hydro energy storage is likely to be a central […]
Decarbonizing Road Transport: A $160 Billion Role for Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Finds IDTechEx Research
Incorporating a fuel cell into an electric vehicle powertrain, generating electricity from hydrogen, offers a technology pathway that delivers the critical reduction in on-road exhaust emissions whilst overcoming the potential range and charging limitations of battery electric vehicles (BEV). IDTechEx’s analysis in their new report, “Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles 2022-2042”, forecasts the market value of […]

5 Things to Know About the IEA’s Roadmap to Net Zero by 2050
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change and realize the goals of the Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emissions should fall to net zero by mid-century and then reach net negative emissions thereafter. Responding to the science, 60 countries, as well as scores of companies and cities, have already adopted net-zero targets, and many more […]
Why Hydrogen is Starting to Get the Green Light in Global Renewables
RECAI 57: we examine initiatives in different regions to find out how low-carbon hydrogen might be used in pursuit of net zero. Green hydrogen is seen by investors, developers and politicians as an enabler to meet net-zero targets. With its vast domestic market, large state-owned companies and abundant renewable resources, China could become a green […]
Tackling the Challenge of Decarbonizing Steelmaking
Plans put in place now may lead to significant emissions reductions. The transition toward clean energy and decarbonization of the fuel mix is one of the most burning topics in heavy industry. The steel industry is one of the top three contributors to CO2 emissions, and more than 70 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions in the […]
Green Buildings do More Than Keep Tropical Tenants Cool
Architects are no longer trying to insulate workers, instead trying to adapt structures to their natural surroundings, which can present unique challenges, from intense downpours to constant heat and humidity. On a typically hot and humid afternoon in Singapore, a fresh breeze blows beneath the canopy of the South Beach development, keeping temperatures several degrees […]
Shining light to make hydrogen
Decarbonizing the economy and achieving the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies is one of the most urgent global challenges of the 21st century. Hydrogen can play a key role in this process as a promising climate-neutral energy vehicle. Yet, the so-called green hydrogen economy requires that hydrogen production be based exclusively on renewable […]
