Siemens Energy, FFI and GeoPura developing prototype ammonia cracker to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

We have just 13 years to deliver a net-zero electricity grid for the UK. —Steve Scrimshaw, VP at Siemens Energy UK & Ireland and a member of the UK Government’s Hydrogen Advisory Council. The traditional process of producing ammonia has used “grey” or “black” hydrogen from either natural gas or coal. million (US$1.8-million)

Lean Software, Power Electronics, and the Return of Optical Storage

Cars That Think

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Most of the activity is in Europe , where there are at least 10 major offshore wind and hydrogen projects , including demonstration systems being built or planned in the North Sea, the Atlantic, and off the coast of Ireland. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero.

Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. Ireland, South Korea, and Taiwan are among the other countries with bold floating wind ambitions. But the shallow waters east of London are already packed with wind turbines.
