Cleaner, Cheaper Hydrogen That Fuels Both Energy and Industry

Hydrogen Fuel News

These findings present a significant leap toward a cleaner, more efficient hydrogen economy. Traditionally, hydrogen is produced by heating natural gas (steam methane reforming), a process that operates at around 1000C and emits substantial carbon dioxide9 to 12 kilograms of CO2 for every kilogram of hydrogen.

Even if they perform as hoped, the power plants would likely burn imported liquified natural gas (LNG) from the United States, Qatar, and other suppliers — a fuel source that emits high levels of climate-heating methane when it’s being extracted, transported and stored.

Why Flexible Gas Generation Must Be Part of Deep Decarbonization

GreenTechMedia

Thanks to generous feed-in tariffs and other incentives, Germany’s wind and solar installations have soared over the past two decades to the point that renewables could cover half of the country’s electricity demand. Power-to-gas involves using excess renewable power to manufacture carbon-neutral synthetic methane.

The COD delusion?

Envirotec Magazine

A Chinese study published in December aims to quantify the role of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) – and its predominance as a way of measuring organic pollution – in causing unnecessary GHG emissions. COD is widely used as an indicator of organic pollution in wastewater. Measurement methods compared.
