The first flights of a pair of hydrogen-powered technology demonstrators are now set to happen early in 2023. As 2022 drew to a close rivals ZeroAvia and Universal Hydrogen were making final preparations to begin their respective flight tests with Dornier 228 and Dash 8-300 twin turboprop regional airliners. On December 23, the UK Civil […]
Hydrogen heating trial treats us like guinea pigs – residents – EQ Mag
“I wake up in the night thinking about it,” Maria Morgan says. “We’re guinea pigs.” Maria is on the front line of the UK’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Her house in Whitby in Ellesmere Port, north-west England, is one of 2,000 homes earmarked to have its supply of natural […]
Stellantis in talks to buy ‘substantial’ stake in hydrogen mobility company Symbio – EQ Mag
MILAN : Stellantis has entered exclusive talks with France’s Faurecia and Michelin to buy a “substantial” stake in their Symbio joint venture, a fuel cell system maker for hydrogen mobility, the three companies said on Friday. Stellantis, the world third-largest carmaker, launched hydrogen-powered mid-size vans late last year and aims to expand its hydrogen offer […]
Can hydrogen live up to its clean energy promise? Here are 3 key challenges – EQ Mag
Hydrogen holds important promise as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. But as governments and companies pour tens of billions of dollars into hydrogen energy technologies, we need to make sure that we’re asking the hard questions that we should be asking about this emerging industry. Hydrogen is a leak-prone gas with a potent warming […]
UK ministers float plan for ‘hydrogen-ready’ domestic boilers from 2026 – EQ Mag
BEIS says strategy will reduce replacement costs but cautions there is no guarantee homes will ultimately run on the gas Ministers are considering requiring that all new domestic boilers be “hydrogen-ready” from 2026, as they announced £100m for nuclear and hydrogen projects. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has launched a consultation […]
The hydrogen ecosystem – EQ Mag
Hydrogen use is widely expected to grow drastically, in particular as it has the potential to decarbonise our society and avoid further global warming, as we explore this month. In fact, we witness daily new investments in hydrogen production and applications. These new applications involve newcomers with very often the brightest of ideas, but not […]
Net Zero by 2050 possible, but clean energy investments need to outweigh fossils fast: Report – EQ Mag
Heavy investment, hydrogen and carbon capture & storage can help keep the temperature increase to 1.7 degrees Celsius It is still possible to keep the temperature increase to 1.77 degrees Celsius with determined action, according to a new energy economy analysis. But investments in the clean energy sector must triple that of fossil fuel to […]
IIT Jodhpur Researchers Develop Catalytic Materials To Produce High Purity Hydrogen – EQ Mag
JODHPUR : The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur have developed Lanthanides based perovskite nanocomposite catalytic materials for artificial photosynthesis to produce high purity hydrogen. In the patented method, the researchers used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a highly recyclable catalyst based on low-cost, simple transition metal. Dr. […]
‘Indiscriminate use of hydrogen’ could slow the energy transition, report says – EQ Mag
“Indiscriminate use of hydrogen” could, the International Renewable Energy Agency says, “slow down the energy transition.” The energy transition can broadly be seen as a shift away from fossil fuels to a system dominated by renewables. Over the past few years, major economies and businesses have looked to tap into the emerging green hydrogen sector. […]
Hydrogen – The key to achieving carbon neutral by 2050 – EQ Mag
Industry: Captive thermal power facilities Transition from natural gas to achieve carbon neutral by 2050 Looking beyond interim targets for 2030, industrial captive thermal power facility owners realize the need for further energy transitions in addition to converting from coal to natural gas. To this end, they are considering hydrogen as the fastest and economical […]
