Cemvita demonstrates “gold hydrogen” production in situ, sets up subsidiary

Green Car Congress

Cemvita Factory announced multiple developments with its Gold Hydrogen business. Cemvita defines Gold Hydrogen as the biological production of hydrogen in the subsurface through the consumption of trapped or abandoned resources. The hydrogen production in this trial exceeded our expectations. billion in 2020.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Shearwater Energy developing SMR wind-hybrid energy project; selects NuScale Power

Green Car Congress

a United Kingdom-based hybrid clean energy company, is developing a wind-SMR (Small Modular Reactor) and hydrogen production hybrid energy project in North Wales. The UK recently announced plans to expand offshore wind capacity rapidly by 2030 and invest in SMR development to meet net-zero carbon emissions goals by 2050.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. Applying the model, they found that the average LCOE associated with meeting this seasonal imbalance is $2400/MWh using a HFGT fueled with green hydrogen and $3000/MWh using a LI.

UK government launches first Hydrogen Strategy

Green Car Congress

The UK government has launched a Hydrogen Strategy intended to create a thriving low-carbon hydrogen sector—blue and green—in the UK over the next decade and beyond. The government says that a booming, UK-wide hydrogen economy could be worth (£900) million (US$1.24
