HyStorPor

The HyStorPor project showed that subsurface geological storage of hydrogen is possible – an important development for the deployment of intermittent renewable energy. The final HyStorPor brochure is now available online blogs.ed.ac.uk/hystorpor/cate…

.@MIT engineers aim to produce green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a new, train-like system of reactors that is driven solely by the sun - “solar thermochemical hydrogen.” The system harnesses the sun’s heat to directly split water and generate hydrogen news.mit.edu/2023/mit-desig…

The Biden administration has announced $7 billion in funding for seven regional “hubs” to produce hydrogen. The hubs include both producers and customers, and aim to spur hydrogen adoption by building up storage tanks, pipelines, and other infrastructure. science.org/content/articl…

New Oxford Institute for Energy Studies paper analyses the unique challenges faced by Europe's emerging #hydrogen economy, including the lack of an established market, transportation & storage infrastructure, and uncertainty about demand & supply oxfordenergy.org/publications/r…

HyPSTER, the first renewable hydrogen storage demonstrator in a salt cavern, has been officially inaugurated. The project, supported by EU and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, paves the way for creation of an industrial sector for renewable hydrogen storage hydrogeneurope.eu/hypster-demons…

Low-emissions #hydrogencar continues to attract strong interest, but cost pressures and slow roll-out of incentives are putting projects at risk, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest annual Global Hydrogen Review report. renewablesnow.com/news/clean-hyd…

Switching Sheffield’s world-renowned steel forges from gas to locally produced green #hydrogen could cut CO2 emissions by as much as 40%, a government-funded study supported by the city’s industry has found theenergyst.com/steel-city-for…

Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest #hydrogen and graphene from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that could more than pay for itself. The process vaporizes the hydrogen present in plastics, leaving behind graphene graphene-info.com/rice-team-prod…

Chevron has acquired a 78% stake in ACES Delta which is developing the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Utah. The project is expected to become the world's largest #hydrogen production and storage facility seekingalpha.com/news/4010972-c…

The North Sea Transition Authority @NSTAuthority is expected to take on the role of offshore hydrogen transport and storage regulator following the conclusion of a consultation on the proposal ogv.energy/news-item/nort…

A report from the UK’s Royal Society finds that Great Britain needs as much as 100TWh of storage capacity by 2050 to manage periods of low renewable generation, with #hydrogen storage in salt caverns the preferred option for storage icis.com/explore/resour…

Leading companies in the UK aviation and renewable energy sectors including @easyJet, @RollsRoyce, @Airbus, @Orsted, @GKNAero and @BristolAirport , have established the #Hydrogen in Aviation (HIA) alliance to accelerate zero-carbon aviation greencarcongress.com/2023/09/202309….

A research report assesses a proposed undersea network of pipelines which would connect Scotland with Ireland and either the Neths and/or Germany. Two potential routes are detailed, each making use of existing North Sea infrastructure for natural gas. pipeline-journal.net/news/purpose-b…

The UK has dropped from 2nd to 8th place on the International Hydrogen Progress Index between 2021 and 2023. The Energy Networks Association and #Hydrogen UK urged the government to “regain the momentum” eandt.theiet.org/content/articl…

New and existing offshore wind farms in Scotland could help generate large amounts of green #hydrogen and support net zero targets set by the UK and the EU, according to a report commissioned by Crown Estate Scotland and written by consultancy Xodus Group renews.biz/87914/offshore…

Germany will hold an auction for contracts to build 8.8 gigawatts of new hydrogen power plants and as much as 15GW of capacity that will temporarily run on natural gas until the facilities are connected to the hydrogen grid by 2035 timeslive.co.za/news/world/202…

Rice University engineers can turn sunlight into hydrogen with record-breaking efficiency thanks to a device that combines next-generation halide perovskite semiconductors with electrocatalysts in a single, durable, cost-effective, and scalable device. dpaonthenet.net/article/199414…
