The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects
Green hydrogen production projects are flexible enough to adapt to all the challenges of the energy transition. From taking advantage of the surpluses of a wind energy or photovoltaic energy power plants to avoid curtailments, to continuously producing hydrogen for industry and transport or for seasonal energy storage. Of course, grants and clear regulation are … Continue reading The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects

Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction
The invasion of Ukraine has shown that reliance on Russian natural gas is an unstable strategy for Europe. Hydrogen power is one tool that could help. In late February, Russia announced that it would send troops into two regions of eastern Ukraine — a precursor to its full-scale invasion days later. Hours after Russia’s announcement, … Continue reading Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction

ACP CEO Heather Zichal Statement on President Biden Signing the Inflation Reduction Act into Law
Heather Zichal, CEO of the American Clean Power Association, issued the following statement today after President Biden signed the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law: “With the stroke of the pen, a clean energy future is now the law of the land. This does for climate change and clean energy what the creation of … Continue reading ACP CEO Heather Zichal Statement on President Biden Signing the Inflation Reduction Act into Law
Continue readingHow Clean Is Green’ Hydrogen?
Batteries and renewable energy alone can’t decarbonize industries, and recent proposals for a “hydrogen economy” could bridge those gaps. The Democrats’ new climate bill, which the US Senate passed on Sunday, has been described as “transformative” and “game-changing.” But perhaps the most apt word is “shocking”—in a good way, for once. According to analysis after … Continue reading How Clean Is Green’ Hydrogen?

Hydrogen: A targeted decarbonization tool but not a panacea
Hydrogen has the potential to help decarbonize many of the sectors and applications that depend on emissions-intensive fossil fuels, including fossil gas. Clean hydrogen[i] projects are therefore increasingly talked about and also piloted in several countries to support their decarbonization goals. Hydrogen is expected to be an important piece of the clean technology toolkit as … Continue reading Hydrogen: A targeted decarbonization tool but not a panacea
Continue readingPushing green hydrogen into commercial operation
Renewable energy in Australia relies mainly on a combination of wind power and solar photovoltaics. Both sources are variable, they come and go with the weather. “You’re producing energy at times when you may not need it and at other times when you need it, you’re not producing anything,” says Michael Bielinski, chief executive of … Continue reading Pushing green hydrogen into commercial operation

The facility in Xinjiang will use renewable energy to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which can then be liquefied and used as fuel. The facility should help to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by around 500,000 tonnes a year. The project in Kuqa in the south of the region uses … Continue reading China building world’s largest green hydrogen plant

Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
Hydrogen has emerged as the great white (or green) hope of the clean energy transition due to its potential use in decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like shipping, steel production, and even transport. These sectors are tricky to electrify. Cargo ships for example, can’t necessarily recharge battery supply in the middle of the ocean, and cutting emissions … Continue reading Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
