Hydrogen - 14 June 2022

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall are inaugurating HYBRIT’s pilot facility for fossil free hydrogen gas storage at Svartöberget in Luleå, Sweden.

According to Wood Mackenzie, potential low-carbon hydrogen demand from the global refining sector could reach 50 million tpy by 2050.

Chung-Ang University researchers have developed an inexpensive catalyst composed of a transition metal hydroxide sulfide heterostructure that makes for highly efficient overall water splitting.

The EU released its Framework to Decarbonise Gas Markets focusing on a shift from fossil natural gas to renewable and low carbon gases including hydrogen. This framework ties itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 as compared to 1990 levels.

ANIL will target a production of 1 million t of green hydrogen per year by 2030, underpinned by around 30 GW of new renewable power generation capacity, as its first milestone.

Hydrogen has a crucial role in decarbonising the world’s energy system, but uptake will be too slow. Governments need to make urgent, significant policy interventions, according to a new report by DNV.
