Study finds direct seawater splitting has substantial drawbacks to conventional water splitting, offers almost no advantage

Green Car Congress

For the implementation of a sustainable energy economy, the greatest challenge is the weather-depending, fluctuating electricity production of wind and solar power plants. To store the green electricity in a highly scalable way, it must be converted into chemical energy. Energy Environ. doi: 10.1039/D0EE03659E.

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.

IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

One of the challenges of constructing a global hydrogen economy is hydrogen transportation by sea. However, hydrogen is a particularly challenging product to transport safely. This is an expensive process and requires around 30% of the energy stored within the hydrogen. The Solid Air Hydrogen Liquefaction process © Hunt et al.

Havyard developing hydrogen-powered cargo vessel for customer

Green Car Congress

A European company has contracted Norway-based marine and maritime technology company Havyard Group to develop a new zero-emission ship concept for cargo transport. Hydrogen-based fuels must be stored differently than traditional fuels, since they require more space and different security systems. Earlier post.).

Hy Stor Energy developing green hydrogen hub in Mississippi

Green Car Congress

During its first phase, the Mississippi Clean Hydrogen Hub is expected to produce an estimated 110 million kilograms (kg) of green hydrogen annually and store more than 70 million kg of green hydrogen in its underground salt caverns. (As As a comparison, Air Products’ newly announced blue hydrogen megaproject in Louisiana will produce some 1.8
