Biochar layer boosts hydrogen rich gas yields from corn straw
Researchers developed a two-stage catalytic process using biochar to convert corn straw into hydrogen-rich gas, achieving hydrogen concentrations up to 48.87% by volume. The process improves catalyst life and gas quality while increasing gas yields by nearly 9 percentage points. A techno-economic assessment indicated a net benefit of $0.31 per kilogram of biomass when using biochar compared to conventional methods.
Study finds hydrogen emissions contribute to global warming
A study by the Global Carbon Project reveals that hydrogen emissions have increased since 1990, contributing to a rise in global temperatures by 0.02C. The research indicates that hydrogen indirectly affects climate change by allowing methane to persist longer in the atmosphere. While hydrogen is considered a clean energy source, its production methods and emissions from human activities pose challenges to its sustainability.
White hydrogen finds potential in France and the U.S.
Recent discoveries of white hydrogen in France and the U.S. suggest a potential boom in this naturally occurring resource. Current estimates indicate between 1 billion and 10 trillion tonnes of hydrogen may be available underground, with the possibility of producing it at costs below $1/kg. However, significant uncertainties remain regarding the technical challenges and costs associated with exploiting these reserves.
Research reveals rising hydrogen emissions contribute to climate change
New research indicates that rising hydrogen emissions since 1990 have intensified climate change by indirectly heating the atmosphere and extending methane's impact. The study estimates that hydrogen's buildup has contributed approximately 0.02°C to global warming, comparable to emissions from an industrialized nation like France.
New electrolyzer technology could reduce hydrogen production costs significantly
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new anion-exchange-membrane electrolyzer that could reduce the cost of hydrogen production by 5x to 10x. This technology aims to enhance the durability of hydrogen-producing fuel cells by protecting electrodes from degradation, which has been a significant barrier to cost-competitive hydrogen production. The findings were published in the journal Science and could facilitate the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar for hydrogen generation.
Chalmers University develops platinum-free photocatalytic hydrogen production
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a photocatalytic method for producing hydrogen from water and sunlight using conjugated polymer nanoparticles instead of platinum. This method can generate about 30 liters of hydrogen per hour from one gram of the polymer material, significantly reducing costs and environmental impacts associated with platinum mining. The team aims to achieve sustainable hydrogen production without the need for sacrificial chemicals in future developments.
Exxon Mobil pauses blue hydrogen project in Baytown, Texas
Exxon Mobil has paused its plans for a blue hydrogen project at its Baytown, Texas complex due to insufficient market demand.
