Why the Future of Long-Haul Heavy Trucking Probably Includes a lot of Hydrogen
Publish Date: 5/21/2021

In short, instead of forcing everything to electrify or everything to use your fuel of choice, let’s develop the necessary technology and infrastructure then use it for the appropriate application – including taking advantage of the merits of hydrogen for long haul heavy trucking operation. In so doing, we can accelerate the proliferation of clean energy in the transportation sector, helping to achieve our climate goals and secure our future.

This new tech could make hydrogen an affordable, clean fuel for planes
Publish Date: 11/16/2021

“We’re splitting water with a combination of electricity and this high temperature steam,” Gross says. “And that’s what leads to a breakthrough in efficiency, and that leads to an eventual breakthrough in price.” Because the technology uses steam, it can use less electricity, making it as much as 45% more efficient. Since it also can run throughout the night, “we can amortize the cost of the electrolyzer over 24 hours, instead of over 6 hours a day,” he says. “And that four-to-one better amortization leads to lower cost hydrogen.”

U.S. unveils roadmap for net-zero aviation emissions by 2050

Can Hydrogen Save Aviation’s Fuel Challenges? It’s Got a Way to Go. Small, experimental hydrogen-powered planes are paving the way for net-zero carbon aviation by 2050. But the route is rocky.
Publish Date: 11/15/2021

More recently, ZeroAvia experienced a bad news/good news scenario when its hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered Piper Malibu Mirage M350 crash landed last April. The good news was that no one was hurt, despite the plane losing a wing. Better still, with no fuel to leak and no hot engine to ignite it, there was no Hindenburg-like conflagration.

“The hydrogen system itself all held up perfectly,” Mr. Miftakhov said. “The emergency crew said if it were a fossil-fuel plane it would have been a major fire.”

Could hydrogen be the newest green power source for Mass.?
Publish Date: 11/9/2021

But greening Massachusetts’ electric grid through offshore wind and other renewable sources will take years, if not decades, said Bob Rio, a senior vice president at AIM. Right now, he said, the majority of New England’s electricity still comes from natural gas-fueled power plants, so it’s important to look at alternatives that could reduce carbon emissions, such as hydrogen. Meanwhile, he said, state officials should focus on harnessing “green hydrogen” — that is, hydrogen made with electricity generated by wind or solar turbines.

The way we combine wind, solar, hydrogen production and storage, batteries and fuel cells in this pilot is unique. This is the world's first microgrid with self-sufficient hydrogen as energy storage, says research leader at SINTEF, Kyrre Sundseth who works with sustainable energy technology .

Industrial companies boost target for green hydrogen in climate fight
Publish Date: 11/4/2021

The Green Hydrogen Catapult (GHC) set a goal of 45 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzers, powered with green electricity, to be developed with secured financing by 2026, with targeted commissioning in 2027. The electrolyzers could produce enough hydrogen to power about 45 average-size steel mills, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for fossil fuels, the group said.

Hydrogen Key to Meeting Collective US Decarbonization Goals
Publish Date: 11/2/2021

Hydrogen is uniquely capable of enabling the energy transition as the only zero-emission technology able to produce the intense heat necessary for the industrial production of cement, steel, glass and other materials. And as a versatile energy carrier, hydrogen is also complementary to other low- and zero-carbon fuels -- allowing utilities across the nation to harness energy from wind, solar, and other renewables and incorporate it into the grid system at scale.
