(epbr) The entry of multiple hydrogen production routes, with the participation of fossils and renewables, can contribute to the expansion of the use of natural gas in the Brazilian energy transition strategy. The Energy Research Company (EPE) should publish technical notes in the coming days on the prospects for producing three colors of hydrogen in... Continue Reading →
Tech startup Hydro Wind Energy is in the process of developing scaled prototypes of high-altitude kites powered by offshore wind with the goal to ”disrupt global energy and desalination markets”. The technologies for power generation and energy storage, OceanHydro Wind, and water desalination, SubSea RO Wind, are powered by high-altitude, ocean-based kites and vertical axis wind rotors rather...

While oil and gas majors are increasingly entering new offshore wind and green hydrogen projects, it is but a small portion of the overall pie, to quote David Linden from Westwood Global Energy Group. As a reaction to the energy transition, the oil and gas majors are diversifying and now have more of an energy... Continue Reading →
A ten-year tax credit worth up to $3 per kilogram of “clean hydrogen” was approved by the US House of Representatives on Friday as part of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Bill. The cleaner the hydrogen produced, the higher the tax credit received by producers — a move that could make green H2 derived from... Continue Reading →
(Reuters) - Industries including energy, steel and chemicals are looking to develop large-scale hydrogen applications to help reduce carbon emissions and avert global warming. Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it's very scarce as a gas, and so far most methods of producing gas at scale release large amounts of carbon... Continue Reading →
