Clean energy transition will play a key role on the road to a net-zero future. 🌍 According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), investments in #cleanenergy have surged by 40% since 2020. However, global renewable capacity is projected to be only 2.5 times its current level by 2030, falling short of the tripling goal set at COP28. Modern bioenergy stands out as the leading global renewable source, making up 55% of renewable energy and over 6% of the global supply. 🍃 In the next five years, an incredible 96% surge in solar PV and wind energy is expected. But what about #hydrogen? Hydrogen holds immense potential, being the most abundant element in the universe and utilized in heating, industrial processes, fuel cells, and powering vehicles. Currently, the majority of hydrogen is grey, emitting a significant 900 megatons of CO2 annually. Blue hydrogen is considered more environmentally friendly than grey hydrogen because it involves capturing and storing up to 95% of carbon emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS). 🌱 Despite the anticipated growth of hydrogen in the next five years, only 7% of renewable power capacity is dedicated to hydrogen-based fuel production. While #greenhydrogen plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions, it isn't the easiest solution. Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize how we power our future, but unlocking its lasting progress requires significant investment in science. 🔬

🌍 Blue Hydrogen vs. Green Hydrogen: The Future of Sustainable Energy As the global shift towards renewable energy accelerates, hydrogen emerges as a key player in the energy transition. But what's the difference between blue and green hydrogen? 🔵 Blue Hydrogen: Produced from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR) combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS). While it's a low-carbon option, it still relies on fossil fuels, making it a transitional solution. 🟢 Green Hydrogen: Generated through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or hydropower. It’s a truly carbon-neutral alternative, aligning with global sustainability goals, but comes with higher production costs and infrastructure challenges. Both types of hydrogen offer significant potential in reducing carbon emissions and supporting industries in the energy transition. The choice between them depends on various factors, including technological advancements, economic considerations, and environmental priorities. #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #BlueHydrogen #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy

Global Head of Marketing & Communications at Triton Hydrogen | Crafting Narratives, Igniting Growth and Shaping Change | Storyteller | Writer | Analyst | Thought Leader | AI Engineer | Photographer | Filmmaker
It's clear that underground storage of hydrogen will play a vital role in the future. See the report. However, the elephant in the room is that all storage systems leak hydrogen, which exacerbates the effects of greenhouse gasses, not to mention financial losses – estimated to be around $40 billion dollars lost in 2022. This is where Triton Hydrogen's Tritonex could play a vital role. Our Hydrogen Barrier Coating System is the only way to completely stop hydrogen leakage. Tritonex creates 100% impermeable barrier between hydrogen and any surface it is painted onto, whether that's a rock cavern or a steel container. It is completely non-reactive to hydrogen. We're set to revolutionise the hydrogen sector. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/exySfZVa #hydrogen #HydrogenStorage #UHS

🌟 Good News! 🌟 In the fourth quarter of 2023, #windenergy surpassed coal in power generation across Europe, showcasing the incredible potential of #renewable sources. 🌍💨 2023 was a landmark year for #solarenergy as well, with a staggering 440GW of new installations—nearly doubling the 252GW added in 2022. When we consider the cumulative capacity, the numbers are astounding: reaching 1TW in 2023, a dramatic increase from just 5GW in 2008. 🌞🔋 However, our journey is far from over. With approximately 65% of all greenhouse gas emissions stemming from the burning of fossil fuels, it's crucial that we continue to expand the share of renewables in our energy mix. 🌱🌏 And let's not overlook the crucial role of #LongDurationEnergyStorage (LDES) technologies. LDES play a key role in the integration of renewable energy sources technologies by providing more than eight hours of energy using a variety of electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical storage media. Nowadays, peak demand occurs when renewables are not readily available (see colder months or late dark evenings), therefore a stark increase in the use of LDES would be game-changing for decarbonizing industrial processes and supporting the integration of renewable energy sources, thanks to longer term storage capabilities. With their ability to provide reliable and cost-effective electricity, LDES technologies have the potential to significantly reduce global industrial greenhouse gas emissions and drive the sustainable energy transition. 🔋⚡
