The second act establishes a methodology for calculating the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (#RFNBO), which are considered to be renewable fuels of non-biological… https://bit.ly/3JmuUiM

The train will soon run on other Spanish lines… https://bit.ly/3ppurFK

📰 Forget #oil: start-ups produce unlimited “#geological” #hydrogen:

A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there is an untapped source of clean #energy deep underground that can provide far more energy than we need: hydrogen created by natural geological processes. And, like the early days of the oil industry in the 19th century, this is spawning a wave of new drilling companies competing to be the first to find large deposits.

“They are now seen as wildcatters for oil,” says Doug Wicks, director of the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency.

On a global scale, the amount of geological hydrogen could be “astronomical”, he says, depending on how widespread the geological conditions are needed for pockets of iron-rich water to form near tectonic faults.

“It’s potentially 150 trillion metric tons,” Weeks explains. “A billion tons will power the United States for the entire… https://bit.ly/3Pxs9il

🔬 Unlocking the future of green #hydrogen with high-efficiency #catalysts:

A group of #scientists has increased the efficiency of iridium catalysts used in the production of green hydrogen by 5-12%. This reduces the required amount of iridium, a rare element, making the process more cost-effective and boosting efforts towards a carbon-neutral society.

The race to realise the widespread use of intermittent renewable energy has taken a step forward with new research by experts at the University of Adelaide that improves the efficiency of iridium-based catalysts.

“Currently, it is difficult for commercial iridium oxide catalysts to achieve both high activity and stability in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE),” explains Associate Professor Yao Zheng, from the University of Adelaide and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering… https://bit.ly/3NOYzDG

⛽ In #Rome the first #circular #hydrogen #fuelling #station:

The first circular hydrogen refuelling station will open in Rome on #Ardeatina street and will be built by #Q8 in collaboration with #Maire (the engineering company that develops and implements innovative technologies to support the energy transition) with funding from the NRRP.

The refuelling station will have a capacity of up to around 700 kg per day and will supply light and heavy duty public and private vehicles. Its use will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 75% compared to the use of diesel. The station will be based on the technological solution developed by MyRechemical, a subsidiary of NextChem, for the conversion of non-recyclable waste into circular hydrogen, which will be produced in the first waste-to-hydrogen plant in #Italy, which MAIRE is developing in the capital as part of the #EU “#IPCEI Hy2Use” project.

This technology is based on a circular approach that makes it possible to obtain hydrogen by closing the waste cycle and minimising CO2 emissions. It is also a sustainable solution in economic terms, as circular hydrogen costs less than green hydrogen… https://bit.ly/3CPn4KM

👩‍🏫 #UNIA and #Cepsa promote a #summer #course on #renewable #hydrogen in #industry:

The International University of Andalusia (UNIA) and Cepsa are promoting this year at the Santa María de la Rábida headquarters in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), the summer course Renewable Hydrogen in Industry, which will run from 10 to 13 July under the direction of Olivia Infantes, director of Hydrogen Regulation and clean energies at the oil company.

As indicated by the educational institution in a press release, the rector of the UNIA, José Ignacio García, and the head of Cepsa have signed a collaboration agreement, accompanied by the head of Institutional Relations and Cepsa Foundation in Andalusia and the Canary Islands, Jesús Velasco, and the director and deputy director of the Huelva branch of the UNIA, María de la O Barroso and María del Carmen Sánchez, respectively.

The aim of this course is to present the current state of use of grey hydrogen and, subsequently, to describe the context that encourages the production and uses of green hydrogen, which will replace the previous one and will become a new energy vector, for direct use or for the production of decarbonised fuels… https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1qAIw

🔬 #BioPhoto: #green #hydrogen from #organic #waste:

This initiative, coordinated by #Cetaqua, is a clear example of energy and ecological transition, contributing to the promotion of a clean, circular and decarbonised economy.

In Spain, around 500,000 tonnes of hydrogen are consumed annually as an industrial raw material in different sectors. Most of this hydrogen comes from the reforming of natural gas, which generates CO2 emissions from the use of this fossil fuel. In this context, the BioPhoto project will develop a technology for the production of green hydrogen from organic waste.

Green hydrogen, also known as renewable hydrogen, is 100% sustainable as it does not emit polluting gases during combustion or in the production process. This fuel is thus postulated as an unrivalled tool to replace fossil fuels in those sectors that are most difficult to decarbonise, contributing to the fight against climate change.

The use of organic waste for the production of hydrogen will help to create a new value chain that, apart from producing clean energy, will allow the recovery of organic waste that could have an impact on the environment if it is not managed properly… https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1qGMe
