Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

TechXplore

Skoltech researchers have found a way to produce hydrogen from natural gas with 45% efficiency right in the gas field by injecting steam and a catalyst into a well and adding oxygen to ignite the gas. This technology will help accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean hydrogen power.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Proclaims Natural Gas To Be Zero-Carbon

Jim Conca

That’s what California Governor Gavin Newsom did with carbon emissions from natural gas by signing into law Senate Bill 423. Just declare gas zero-carbon and that’s that. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could outlaw wildfires? Or legislate against Polar Vortexes?

European scientists group urges ban on new natural gas boilers

Envirotec Magazine

Natural gas is not cleaner than other fossil fuels and using it instead of coal or oil risks achieving little or no reduction in greenhouse gas effects, says science advisory group the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) in a new report “Future of Gas”. The climate does not make compromises.”

Could green hydrogen be key to a carbon-free economy?

GreenBiz

Could green hydrogen be key to a carbon-free economy? The Saudis are going big on something called green hydrogen — a carbon-free fuel made from water by using renewably produced electricity to split hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules. hydrogen is a lot more expensive than other fuels such as natural gas.

Reducing carbon emissions from residential heating: A pathway forward

TechXplore

In the race to reduce climate-warming carbon emissions, the buildings sector is falling behind. While carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the U.S. Moreover, in extremely cold locations, burning natural gas to heat houses can make up a substantial share of the emissions portfolio.
