Solar to Fuel. Hydrogen production from solar energy

Belgian designer DEME is preparing approximately 500 MW of hydrogen manufacturing capability at the port of Dumq, which is abundant in solar as well as wind power sources. The designer prepares to deliver hydrogen from the port to Europe.

Scientists at the Tokyo University of Science have actually located goethite, a typical sort of corrosion, can be made use of as a stimulant to accelerate solar-powered hydrogen manufacturing. The team says further optimization can allow their procedure to get rid of the requirement for the expensive, uncommon drivers presently made use of.

According to Hydrogen Council, green hydrogen production costs are likely to reduce by up to 60 percent by 2030. This is explained by electrolyser manufacturing scaling-up and clean power generation cost-cutting. Australia is listed among the most promising nations for hydrogen industry.

A research team from India’s IIT-M has created an innovative method of climate-safe hydrogen generation from saline water.

A tiny spark in the UK’s hydrogen revolution has been lit – at a university campus near Stoke-on-Trent.

The Danish government has agreed to provide $19 million in funds for two large-scale hydrogen projects under development on the Jutland peninsula. The two projects will produce green hydrogen for the transport sector from renewables sources. Denmark’s largest energy company, Ørsted, has also announced plans for an ambitious 2 MW electrolysis plant with appurtenant hydrogen storage.

The British company, which has tested its liquid air energy storage technology in the U.K., says it is preparing to deploy its first plant on U.S. soil. Highview claims its CRYOBattery is half the price of utility scale lithium-ion storage.

Three major companies from Netherlands are going to turn the Drenthe-based excessive clean power capacity into green hydrogen. The partners are investigating which green power projects can be excluded from electricity grid.

The Australian state of Tasmania has approached international investors to present its unique potential for the production of hydrogen from renewable sources, as it aims to position itself at the forefront of the nation’s green hydrogen push.

New research led by Curtin University explores the use of methanol as a storage for hydrogen fuel, providing a potential green option for the extraction and creation of this zero pollution energy source.

The Australian energy storage company is planning the acquisition of SolarReserve Australia II, owing three solar sites in Australia. 1414 Degrees is about to create a huge solar park with 400 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity and a few thousand MWh of thermal storage.

The government has been seen as slow to act on climate change, while Labor offered an ambitious carbon reduction policy.

The solar field will become operational in Q2 of 2021. This is the project for deployment of phase five of the huge 5-gigawatt Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar farm.

The research group from the University of Houston has found a novel catalyst which is likely to help effectively split hydrogen from seawater. This innovation is supposed to considerably advance the seawater electrolysis development for commercial hydrogen production.

The advanced technology developed by the startup funded by Bill Gates is aimed at minimization of gas emissions from heavy industries.
