We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Green hydrogen holds many promises: it can serve as a ‘battery’ for energy storage, it can be used in the chemical industry, and its only emission will be water vapour. But, unfortunately, green hydrogen is not yet widely used, because the production of grey hydrogen from natural gas is much cheaper.

Pop psychology: Appraising the options for hydrogen storage in transport

Envirotec Magazine

Hydrogen presents significant challenges when it comes to storage, given its molecular size and highly corrosive nature. It’s especially critical that such blunders don’t occur with hydrogen, whose propensity to combust is far more difficult to manage than with natural gas. This obviously entails enormous energy demands.

MIT Study Shines a Light on Hydrogen and Natural Gas in the Leak Debate

Hydrogen Fuel News

MIT Study Highlights Lesser Climate Impact of Hydrogen Leaks Compared to Natural Gas A recent study conducted by MIT researchers sheds new light on the climate implications of hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas. The researchers found that hydrogens climate impact is approximately one-third of methanes.

Synthetic methane injection into France’s gas distribution grid demonstrated

Smart Energy International

French green gas start-up Energo has demonstrated the injection of synthetic methane into GRDF’s gas distribution network. The demonstration, a first in France, was undertaken as a regulatory sandbox initiative to confirm the feasibility of synthetic methane injection in the network.

Pop goes the diesel?

Envirotec Magazine

The race is on to develop the technology to exploit hydrogen fuel, widely regarded as offering the most promising pathway to a zero-carbon economy. On numerous levels, the planned roadmap to hydrogen seems to involve a hopeful crossing of fingers, that many of the blunders that accompanied past technology rollouts won’t happen this time.

Europe’s Blue Hydrogen Plans Risk Generating Annual Emissions on par With Denmark

DeSmogBlog

Billed by the fossil fuel industry as a climate solution, dozens of planned blue hydrogen projects in Europe could consume more natural gas each year than France, and produce emissions on a par with Denmark, a DeSmog analysis has found. Hydrogen emits no CO2 at the point of use.
