Automotive sector’s lobby group warns deadline to end sale of fossil fuel trucks by 2040 may be missed The UK does not have a single public electric charger or hydrogen refilling station dedicated to lorries, with fewer than 12 years until the first ban on diesel engines comes into force, according to the automotive industry’s […]
Hydrogen Internal Combustion Mobility is Here – EQ Mag
As overall concern for climate change continues to grow and increasingly stringent environmental regulations go into effect, commercial fleets are assessing market-ready solutions that will help them achieve carbon neutrality across their wide-ranging vehicle applications. To that end, hydrogen and hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) are receiving a good deal of attention — understandably so. […]
New Technology Could Bring Hydrogen Into The Mainstream – EQ Mag
One of the world’s biggest challenges is slashing emissions before it’s too late. In fact, we’ve only got until 2050 in order to avoid some of the worst effects of climate change. And guess what? Asking people to ditch meat isn’t going to be enough. Even a drastic reduction in the use of fossil fuels […]
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 […]
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 […]
Battery News Today — Water In Texas, Hydrogen In Kentucky – EQ Mag
Battery technology continues to advance by leaps and bounds. The latest trend is water and hydrogen batteries that last longer and cost less. The search for longer lasting, higher power, less expensive batteries is ongoing in laboratories around the world. The lithium-ion battery is a marvelous thing, but it takes too long to charge, its […]
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 […]
