But just to refresh your memory, I’ll use the European Space Agency’s (ESA) recent definition: “When they photosynthesise, plants use sunlight to break apart water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then combine the resulting hydrogen with carbon dioxide from the air to create carbohydrates”. That includes hydrogen. Have you read?
Maintaining and improving global energy security; empowering Indigenous communities; seizing the global LNG opportunity — these were some of the talking points speakers were keen to discuss throughout the Canada Gas Exhibition & Conference, which took place in Vancouver in May.
According to a recent report by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which has studied the eXERO platform for four years, the reactor is capable of operating in three distinct modes: H2Gen Mode: Produces enriched carbon dioxide and high-purity hydrogen without additional electricity.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) will stop backing fossil fuel energy projects in 2021, except those using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology or offsets to cancel out their emissions. The EIB's new financing criteria will make lending to gas projects very difficult. Gas and LNG may be better but are they good enough?
However, oil and gas usage will continue to rely on imports. Although oil consumption halves by 2050 from its 2027 peak, its use in petrochemicals and heavy transport (aviation and shipping) will linger and 84% of oil use will be met through imports. Strong policy support is reflected by the rapid uptake of green technologies.
At the same time, Brussels signaled that it will also encourage the development of "blue" hydrogen produced from fossil fuels paired with carbon capture, at least for the time being. The Global CCS Institute, a carbon capture think tank based in London, called the EU's strategy ambitious, but warned against picking winners.
