The old arguments that excess power generated by wind and solar is wasted are no longer applicable. Imagine a strategy that involves storage, flattening out peaks and helping respond to demand. Then imagine it on micro/small grids around the UK serving smaller communities in particular. Reliable, genuinely sustainable energy anyone?

Good news! The UK’s first low carbon (blue) hydrogen plant, EET Hydrogen’s HyNet HPP1, powered by JM’s LCH™ technology, has signed a statement of principles with the Department for Energy, Sustainability and Net Zero. 🏭 Using JM’s world-leading LCH technology, HyNet will deliver CCS-enabled (blue) hydrogen at scale and high efficiency - with a very high carbon capture rate. In fact, because of JM’s technology, more than 97% of the carbon used in the process will be captured and stored. When operational, the facility will be the country’s first low carbon (blue) hydrogen production facility, producing 80kt of hydrogen per year. It will also capture 600,000 tonnes of CO2 – the equivalent of taking over 250,000 petrol or diesel powered cars off the road. This will make a significant step towards the UK Government’s aim of delivering 10GW of low carbon hydrogen by 2030, helping to decarbonise local heavy industries and, eventually, provide power and energy to customers in the North West of England.🌎 Learn more about HyNet: https://bit.ly/3UAaDwh #lowcarbonhydrogen #netzero #carboncapture

……..the new sLH2 technology lowers the required investment for a hydrogen refueling station by a factor of two to three, and operational costs are five to six times lower. Today, liquid hydrogen can be supplied reliably throughout Europe. Compared to regular liquid hydrogen (LH2) refueling technology, the new process uses a new innovative sLH2 pump to increase slightly the pressure of the liquid hydrogen. With this method, the hydrogen becomes subcooled liquid hydrogen (sLH2). Hydrogen in this state facilitates a very robust fueling process that also keeps energy losses during refueling to a minimum.

"Bosch is working on components for a hydrogen engine, which would convert fuel directly into energy without first converting it into electricity. When powered by green liquid hydrogen, this engine is practically carbon neutral, Bosch claimed of the H2 combustion engine set to debut this year." #BoschGlobal #GreenHydrogen #HydrogenNow #HydrogenEconomy #H2 #FuelCell #HFCEV #FCEV #H2ICE #ZeroEmissions #unblinkered #AndNotOr #EnergyTransition

Fueling the Future: Unveiling the Hydrogen Highway! Tired of the slow lane? Buckle up for the Hydrogen Highway! Join the movement towards clean energy with hydrogen infrastructure, the backbone of a sustainable future. What is Hydrogen Infrastructure? Imagine a world powered by clean, zero-emission energy. That's the promise of hydrogen! But getting hydrogen from production to your car requires a robust network – that's hydrogen infrastructure. Think of it as a superhighway with multiple lanes: Production Facilities: Where the magic happens! Here, hydrogen is made using methods like electrolysis (powered by renewables for green H2!). Storage Systems: Holding tanks for our clean fuel, ensuring a steady supply. Distribution Networks: Pipelines and futuristic trucks transporting hydrogen efficiently. Refueling Stations: Your pit stop for clean energy! Fill up your hydrogen car in minutes, just like gasoline. Grid Integration: Hydrogen seamlessly connecting with existing energy systems for a powerful clean energy mix. Why Hydrogen Infrastructure? Clean Champion: Ditch fossil fuels and say hello to zero emissions! Hydrogen produces only water vapor, keeping our air clean. Fueling Versatility: Power vehicles, industries, and even homes with this clean-burning fuel. The hydrogen revolution is coming! Challenges on the Road? We Got This! Building a hydrogen highway isn't without its bumps. But with innovation and collaboration, we're overcoming them: High Costs: New technology often comes with a price tag. But as hydrogen scales up, costs will come down. Storage & Transportation: We're developing efficient ways to store and transport hydrogen, making it readily available. Safety Concerns: Safety is paramount. We're implementing rigorous protocols to ensure safe hydrogen handling. Join the Movement! The future of clean energy is bright, and hydrogen infrastructure is paving the way. Be a part of the solution! Share this post, discuss hydrogen with your network, and let's build a cleaner tomorrow, together. https://lnkd.in/d8WrXm-p #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #FutureofEnergy #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenInfrastructure #GreenHydrogen #Innovation #ClimateChange

This is a “bogus solution”, said Zipse, adding that "a [categorical] ban on combustion engines in 2035 is the wrong approach". 🤔 E-fuel production demands a huge amount of energy and producing all of today’s industrial hydrogen output from electricity would create an electricity demand of 3600TWh. This is almost 1000TWh more than the EU’s entire energy production in 2022, of which just 39.4% came from renewables. Why not use that energy directly to power electric cars instead? 📖 Source https://lnkd.in/giNmAqhr #IONAS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

💚 We're thrilled to be featured by Invest in Estonia for our partnership 🤝 with Nordic Batteries and Beyonder. The article does an excellent job highlighting our joint efforts to launch the UPMobile - an all-in-one battery solution for construction industries, powered by hydrogen. As our founder Ivar Kruusenberg mentioned, "The construction sector is one of the most polluting industries...Hydrogen plays an increasingly important role in mitigating the environmental impact." A huge thank you to Invest in Estonia 🇪🇪 for shining a light on this innovative project and Estonia's pioneering work in building a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem. This innovative project, backed by the Estonia-Norway "Green ICT" program, has developed a portable 10,000W generator using a hydrogen fuel cell and lithium-ion super battery. With the UPMobile set to start shipping in late 2024, we're excited to drive positive change and build a greener future, one innovation at a time. Invest in Estonia's support means a lot to us! 🌳⚡ #CleanTech #PowerUP #PoweredbyHydrogen #EstonianInnovation

Great to see this huge step forward in bringing fossil-free steel to market through this collaboration between SSAB and Hy Stor Energy. Steelmaking is one of the biggest GHG emitters worldwide, and green hydrogen is promising both as a heat source and as a reducing gas, removing two of the biggest sources of emissions in the steelmaking process.

Do you see the future of public transport moving towards using hydrogen fuel? 🚍 As hydrogen becomes increasingly recognised as a viable clean energy alternative, the necessity for rigorous hydrogen tank testing cannot be overstated. Ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of storing this volatile gas is crucial for advancing hydrogen-based technologies, particularly in the realm of public transportation. Our ongoing development of test methods will be catapulting hydrogen buses towards this goal. Read more about this below 👇 https://lnkd.in/eaiU9YDk

Here is the latest news in hydrogen from the HEA: UK-based hydrogen bus consortium HEIDI has reached a significant milestone, with the design phase of the project now complete. Featuring partners Bramble Energy Limited, Equipmake, Aeristech, and University of Bath, HEIDI (Hydrogen Electric Integrated Drivetrain Initiative) is developing a ‘first-of-its-kind’ hydrogen-powered double decker bus. https://lnkd.in/eGPXw_dm Plans to build a £250m green hydrogen production facility in Hull have been approved - paving the way for local heavy industry to use the cleaner fuel. US-backed British energy start-up Meld Energy will now develop the 100-megawatt plant at the Saltend Chemicals Park - a move it says will create the capacity to meet up to 30% of the park's existing hydrogen demand. https://lnkd.in/e-YYeqPS Urgent action is needed in order for the UK to meet the government’s target to increase hydrogen production, according to a new Workforce Foresighting Hub report. The new report was carried out to identify future skills demands to be addressed to meet the challenge of increasing hydrogen production. https://lnkd.in/e7gnpMdN #HrdrogenNews #NetZero #GreenHydrogen #HydrogenProduction #HydrogenTech
