Next generation ultra-low iridium anode catalyst development
Historically, approximately 8 Ttpy of iridium is mined as a byproduct of platinum production. By many metrics, the current loading of iridium in PEM electrolyzers is 1 g/kilowatt (kW)−2.5 g/kW.
Why decentralization is key for clean H2
Electrolyzers with an integrated skid solution housed in a standard shipping container can be deployed with minimal disruption and at much lower cost. These containers typically offer an optional fuel cell and storage system, eliminating the complications that can arise once H2 has been extracted.
H2 purification: Take on new challenges by leveraging existing solutions
H2 coming out of a manufacturing process [e.g., methane (CH4) reforming, electrolysis or stored geologically] comes together with an array of impurities such as oxygen (O2), water, carbon oxides or sulfur. However, the use of H2 in mobility via a fuel cell or as a reactant in a catalytic conversion imposes tight specifications, especially on O2 and water.
Accurate measurement and the decarbonization of the gas grid
The decarbonization of the gas grid involves various programs, such as blending natural gas with renewable gases like as biomethane and hydrogen, which have a greatly reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional natural gas.
Using natural gas in a H2 conversion system to reduce CO2 emissions across the maritime sector
The focus on hydrogen (H2) production and carbon capture onboard marine vessels has led to one of the newest innovations in fuel delivery systems, converting natural gas into H2 and solid carbon with a liquid catalyst and molten salt.
Optimize self-generated green H2 consumption via fuel cells and natural gas blending
The control system injecting H2 into the natural gas stream must move in parallel with the natural gas flow; however, this is only 20% (at most) of the larger natural gas volume.
The future of H2: A regional outlook—Part 2: Europe, Russia, the CIS and Latin America
Nations around the world are investing in new technologies and pathways to limit carbon emissions and adhere to ambitious net-zero goals. Part of this strategy includes the massive scale-up of H2 production capacity, primarily green routes that use renewable energy for production.
Producing green H2 on a gigawatt scale
Scaling electrolyzer technologies is an essential ingredient to cleaning up the world’s energy mix. Green hydrogen (H2) production must be scaled up, but electrolyzer production must keep up with the rising demand for clean H2.
Manage the new risk profile of energy transition projects
Major energy companies owned the oil and gas in the ground and proprietary processing technologies, exerting major influence over the regulatory process. They had a balance sheet to pay for their projects, worked with their preferred engineering, procurement and construction firms and owned the retail organizations to distribute products to consumers.
H2Tech: Tech Spotlight
July's H2Tech Tech Spotlight covers H2 storage challenges for deep-sea shipping, a new catalyst that lowers the cost of producing H2 from water and more effective H2 injectors for gas turbines.

ANGI Energy Systems strengthens its multi-fuel future with appointment of senior director for H2 sales.
Academics come together to pool H2 hub ideas
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstration encouraged a Texas consortium spearheading the development of a regional clean H2 hub on the U.S. Gulf Coast to submit a full application in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement designated in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
