The path to integrity readiness and the role of ILI inspections—Part 1
Pipelines are a highly cost-effective method of transportation, and existing pipeline infrastructures are being assessed for their suitability to transport H2 around the globe, blended within natural gas transport or as pure H2.
H2 vehicle system design and implementation: Exploring the challenges and opportunities
The current trend in the transport sector is to take a bespoke approach to developing complex H2 systems across many different vehicle platforms, with each build designed to a specific customer brief. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Hydrogen hubs: Materializing Indian aspirations
India has the advantages of an abundant supply of renewable power, growing domestic and local international markets, experienced and advanced technological capabilities, and energy infrastructure that will help to store, transport and deliver H2 at a low cost.
Automation is key to an effective H2 value chain
In virtually any area, H2 can be added to natural gas distribution, but this is a low-value option, both in profitability and positive environmental impact. It makes no environmental sense for gray or blue H2 sources, but it is viable for surplus green H2.
Highlighting the benefits of hybrid power solutions
Sophisticated and smart hybrid power solutions bring a new dimension when considering a portfolio of different technologies for energy generation, storage or conversion. As the energy asset mix changes and evolves, hybrid power solutions represent a turning point for the energy system.
The economic challenge with renewable energy
A nonlinear increase is found in balancing costs as wind/solar penetration rises. The model's prediction of balancing costs at the 70% wind/solar threshold, according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA's) net-zero forecast, results in balancing costs of nearly $1,000/MWh, which are likely to be politically infeasible.
Withdrawing from H2 projects: A shift in strategy amidst market challenges
The future of hydrogen (H2) adoption across industry has seen some uncertainty in recent months due to several companies pausing or withdrawing from H2 projects, primarily in Europe.
Online Feature: Green H2: A critical balancing act─Part 1
In this article, the author presents a balanced and systemic approach to H2. The author puts forward a set of principles that will enable politicians and other key decision makers to efficiently scale H2 production without putting an unmanageable strain on renewable energy production or financial resources.
H2Tech: Global Projects Data
Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) database is tracking more than 1,420 active hydrogen (H2) projects globally.
H2Tech: Tech Spotlight
November’s H2Tech Tech Spotlight consists of an advanced H2 leak detection sensor for safety in energy storage systems, an electolyzer-ready water solution, a silicon-based fuel cell and much more.
