Frequently asked questions about hydrogen #3
In this series, we try to answer questions circulating on the web and increasingly appearing in the public debate to bring closer the potential of hydrogen as a fuel and make knowledge about it more familiar.
Energy Efficiency Directive adopted. Will a hydrogen boiler answer the need for carbon-free district heating networks by 2050?
Negotiations on new provisions of the Energy Efficiency Directive concluded in July. The reinforced goal is to reduce the EU’s final energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030. The regulations also focus on local heating and cooling plans and a gradual tightening of requirements to create zero-emission heating and cooling networks by 2050.
SES Hydrogen Energy conducted functional tests of the first 0.5 MW hydrogen-oxygen boiler in Poland
This is another key step on the way to certification and commercial implementation of the device in late 2024/2025.
The US is stepping up the race with a national clean hydrogen strategy
The United States has the ambition to remain a pioneer in global energy innovation and a leader in the production and distribution of hydrogen. Road map to a US hydrogen economy is another key step after the Inflation Reduction Plan to achieve this goal.
Frequently asked questions about Hydrogen #2
We are back with another dose of answers to the most frequently asked questions about hydrogen and its use in the global economy.
European Hydrogen Bank – a fixed premium per kilogram of hydrogen produced could cut the price of hydrogen by at least half in the coming years
The first European auction, worth some €800 million, is expected to take place this fall. Will the European Hydrogen Bank initiative set up by the European Commission with a budget of €3 billion have an impact on the development of the hydrogen market and maintaining EU competitiveness?
Frequently asked questions about hydrogen
Many questions are floating around about the potential of green hydrogen and its role in the energy transition. To address the doubts that arise, in this piece we will go back to basics and answer all the most frequently asked questions.
Will geothermal energy be used to produce green hydrogen?
So far, there has been little talk in the industry about using geothermal energy to produce hydrogen. Due to the technical advancement of the installations and lower costs, projects have focused primarily on solar and wind energy. Nonetheless, one of the first consortiums to produce hydrogen from geothermal was announced last year.
Glass Onion: a brilliant detective, a mysterious murder, and… hydrogen fuel
Without a doubt, for the second part of the adventures of eccentric detective Benoit Blanc, which hit the screens at the end of the year, the Oscar for the supporting role should go to hydrogen. The problem, however, is the misleading way it is portrayed, which we want to confront today.
