7 companies launch Green Hydrogen Catapult to increase green H2 production 50-fold over next 6 years

Green Car Congress

World’s green hydrogen leaders unite to drive 50-fold scale-up in six years. The new “Green Hydrogen Catapult” initiative will see green hydrogen industry leaders target the deployment of 25 gigawatts through 2026 of renewables-based hydrogen production, with a view to halve the current cost of hydrogen to below US$2 per kilogram.

2022—The Year the Hydrogen Economy Launched?

Cars That Think

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. Now, after decades of false starts and overly optimistic projections, several factors are giving an unprecedented lift to clean hydrogen.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners invests $25M in Louisiana gas-to-liquids joint venture

Green Car Congress

The Lake Charles, Louisiana plant, which is expected to be operational by late 2015, has a total estimated cost of $135 million. The Juniper GTL process starts with the reforming of natural gas into a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The resulting liquid is ultimately refined by distillation and hydrogenation.

UOP looking to biomass catalytic pyrolysis to expand volumes of renewable hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

The primary objective of conventional hydrotreating is to remove impurities present in petroleum feedstocks, such as sulfur and nitrogen, via the addition of hydrogen. UOP also has licensed plants in Italy and Portugal to use the EcoFining technology. Lowering hydrogen costs would thus lower production costs.

MIT Energy Initiative report on transforming the US transportation system by 2050 to address climate challenges

Green Car Congress

Today, it is possible to identify a number of potential alternative fuels, including electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, and natural gas. However, the flexibility and lower costs of PHEVs appear to trump this simplicity, certainly in the nearer term. —John Heywood.
