Green hydrogen: The future of fuel?

Green hydrogen is gaining ground despite facing obstacles.

The transportation sector is researching and adopting the use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen fuel cells and electric batteries. The majority of hydrogen produced today comes from natural gas and coal.

Green hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced using electrolyzers powered by renewable electricity, according to a 2020 study entitled “The Role of Green and Blue Hydrogen in the Energy Transition — A Technological and Geopolitical Perspective” and written by Michel Noussan, Pier Paolo...

Airbus sets sights on zero-emission aircraft

Airbus releases zero emission aircraft concepts.

Building the world’s first zero-emissions commercial aircraft by 2035 is no easy feat. A future with hydrogen-powered aircraft at the center of aviation would require reliable supplies of hydrogen at airports worldwide, sufficient production of green hydrogen, in-depth safety measures for passengers and collaboration across the aviation industry.

Airbus is seeking to help make that future a reality with its three recently announced ZEROe concept aircraft powered by hydrogen.

It is partnering with

The Green Fuel That Can Revolutionize The Shipping Industry

  • A consortium of companies were recently granted EU funding to install the world’s first ammonia-powered fuel cell on a vessel in 2023.
  • It was found that 43% of current voyages between China and the United States could be made using hydrogen without the need for cargo space or to stop more times to refuel.
  • Toshiba’s test plant produces hydrogen through electrolysis, rather than using fossil fuels – a process used to make just 0.1% of hydrogen. 
  • Ships currently emit 3% of all greenhouse gases,...

Green Hydrogen Fuel Trialed on Path To Net-zero Emissions

  • Governments around the world are racing to achieve carbon neutrality – but the path to net-zero is without any challenges.
  • Industry leaders say the first net-zero ships must enter the global fleet by 2030. and ships powered by green hydrogen could help meet the target.
  • Made from electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable energy, green hydrogen is emissions free.
  • Green hydrogen fuel costs around 4-8 times the price of very low sulphur fuel oil and is...

Allowance is a Sine Qua Non For Hydrogen Developments

  • Current carbon price too low to scale up hydrogen
  • Options for hydrogen blending into gas grid: Sauquet
  • North Sea good prospect for future CCS projects

A recently published article in the Platts, written by Stuart Elliott deals with some form of subsidy that is required to help scale up the development of hydrogen in Europe.  This takes place with the current price of CO2 insufficient to incentivize projects, a senior official at France’s Total said.

Interview with Philippe Sauquet

HydroWing Introduces An Innovative Concept That Creates Green Hydrogen From Sea

Tidal Hydrogen Production Storage and Offtake_

HydroWing, in partnership with Tocardo, is delighted to introduce the THyPSO (Tidal Hydrogen production, Storage and Offtake), an innovative and novel concept that creates green hydrogen from the sea, contributing to the wider global decarbonization of energy systems.

THyPSO is a floating platform, housing 1 – 6 conventional bi-directional tidal turbines that convert tidal flows into electrical energy, which is then directed through an integrated hydrogen production unit, converting the...
