โšก World’s largest alkaline electrolyzer produces 1,500 kg of hydrogen per hour.

๐Ÿ”‘ #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Technology #Sustainability.

๐ŸŒ China’s Shuangliang Group has announced the completion of the world’s largest alkaline water electrolyzer designed to produce hydrogen. This new device can process 5,000 normal cubic meters per hour (Nmยณ/h), which equates to about 990 pounds of hydrogen per hour using less than 43.09 kWh of electricity per kg. If confirmed, it would be the largest and most efficient in the world.

๐Ÿ’ก Another notable example is the German Nordex SE pressurized alkaline electrolyzer in Spain, which can produce about 10 kg of hydrogen per hour while consuming less than 50 kWh of energy per kg. Shuangliang’s new electrolyzer was presented on October 18 at its first innovation conference, with the aim of boosting clean energy technologies and establishing strategic alliances.

๐ŸŒฟ Hydrogen and biochar production from food waste.

๐Ÿ”‘ #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #Recycling.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ The transportation and consumption of kitchen food waste contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming. To reduce this risk, it is crucial to recycle food waste for energy production and as an agricultural by-product for nutrient management. Dark fermentation is presented as a suitable technique to generate hydrogen gas (H2), acting as a clean energy carrier in relation to a sustainable environment.

๐ŸŒฑ Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) are two of the most demanded foods worldwide. The study highlights how these wastes can be transformed by dark fermentation and pyrolysis to produce hydrogen gas and biochar. This approach not only mitigates the environmental impact of food waste, but also provides a renewable and sustainable energy source.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Dark fermentation and pyrolysis improve nutrient recovery and hydrogen and biochar production efficiency. This innovative method contributes to a more sustainable future, reducing the carbon footprint and promoting the efficient use of resources.

๐Ÿš€ Revolution in hydrogen production!

๐Ÿ”‘ #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Innovation #SustainableTechnology #Research.

๐ŸŒŠ A new water splitting method promises faster, greener hydrogen production. The research, published in Nature Nanotechnology, is a breakthrough in clean energy technology. Normally, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) requires expensive noble metal catalysts, such as iridium, which makes the process costly and relies on scarce resources. In addition, the reaction needs additional energy known as overpotential, which increases the energy demand.

๐Ÿงช To address these limitations, Professor Ciucci’s team designed an innovative solution. They used atomically dispersed iridium together with dimethylimidazole and cobalt iron hydroxide. The unique arrangement of these components, in particular their geometric out-of-plane orientation, optimizes the yield and efficiency of the reaction. This new approach not only significantly increases OER activity, but also reduces the overpotential, decreasing energy use.

๐ŸŒŸ Longer lasting and more sustainable green hydrogen production ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿ” #GreenHydrogen #RyuheiNakamura #CSRSJapan #NatureCatalysis #ManganeseOxides

๐Ÿš€ Researchers led by Ryuhei Nakamura at the RIKEN Centre for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have revolutionised the extraction of hydrogen from water using an environmentally friendly and sustainable method. Using a custom-made catalyst for the chemical reaction, published in Nature Catalysis, they have manipulated the 3D structure of the catalyst, which has improved its stability and increased its lifetime by almost 4,000%. ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ”ง The new catalyst is a form of manganese oxide (MnO2). The key finding was that the stability of the reaction could be increased by more than 40 times by modifying the lattice structure of the catalyst. The oxygen in the 3D lattice structure of manganese oxide comes in two configurations, planar and pyramidal. The planar version forms stronger bonds with manganese, and the researchers found that increasing the amount of planar oxygen in the lattice significantly improved catalytic stability. ๐Ÿงช

๐Ÿ”ฌ They tested four different manganese oxides, which varied in the percentage of planar oxygen. By using the version with the highest achievable percentage, 94%, the critical oxygen evolution reaction could be maintained in acid for one month at 1000 mA/cm2. The total amount of charge transferred in this case was 100 times greater than any observed in previous studies. ๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿš€ H2 Mobility, in collaboration with BASF, has opened a new hydrogen filling station in Frankenthal. Starting next week, fuel cell cars and commercial vehicles will be able to refuel with hydrogen at this new location. However, the German filling station network will be reduced, as six stations will cease operation by the end of the year.

๐Ÿ“ The new filling station in Frankenthal stands out due to its capacity and strategic location. With a daily capacity of around 800 kilograms, it can supply up to 30 trucks and buses with hydrogen every day. The station is conveniently located near the Frankenthal junction (A6 and A61), providing easy access for vehicles traveling on this important route. Following the closure of the hydrogen station in Koblenz, this new location in Rhineland-Palatinate becomes a key point for hydrogen supply in the region.

๐Ÿ”ง The decision to close six older filling stations is part of a strategy to modernize and optimize the hydrogen network in Germany. H2 Mobility is committed to creating a more efficient and sustainable infrastructure, adapting to current market needs and technological advances in the hydrogen sector. This approach will enable better distribution and availability of hydrogen, ensuring that users have access to this clean, renewable energy source.

๐ŸŒŸ Discover the new grants for renewable hydrogen projects! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ” #RenewableHydrogen #RecoveryPlan #RenewableEnergies #PERTEERHA #REPowerEU.

๐Ÿ’ก With a budget of โ‚ฌ1.2 billion, these grants are aligned with Component 9: Renewable Hydrogen Roadmap and Component 31: REPowerEU of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The call is part of the Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Transformation of Renewable Energy, Renewable Hydrogen and Storage (PERTE ERHA). ๐ŸŒ These initiatives aim to reach 4 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030, with an update planned in the PNIEC bringing this capacity to 11 GW. One more step towards decarbonization and independence from fossil fuels!

๐ŸŒŸ Discover the future of green hydrogen in Colombia! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ” #GreenHydrogen #SustainableProduction #RenewableEnergy #PowerToX #Colombia2030.

๐Ÿ“Š The โ€œPower-to-X Colombiaโ€ study conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute ISE, in collaboration with the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the World Energy Council (WEC), provides a detailed analysis of the best locations in Colombia for large-scale wind and photovoltaic systems. This study identifies three key regions for Power-to-X (PtX) energy production, including liquid hydrogen, ammonia and methanol, supporting Colombia’s ambitions to become a leader in green hydrogen production. In addition, the costs of transporting these green energies from Colombia to Germany for the years 2030 and 2040 are examined.

๐ŸŒ A sustainable and equitable global hydrogen ecosystem? G20 world leaders have agreed on key principles to make it happen.

๐Ÿ”‘ #SustainableHydrogen #GreenEnergy #Innovation #G20 #JustTransition.

๐Ÿ“‹ In July 2023, during the G20 in Goa, world leaders agreed on a set of High Level Voluntary Principles on Hydrogen to build a sustainable and equitable global ecosystem. H2LAC, together with Bradford Matteson Willis of Accenture, has published โ€œKey Policy Enablers for the Implementation of G20’s High Level Voluntary Principles on Hydrogenโ€. This document outlines the policies needed to advance green hydrogen and will be presented at the G20 conference in November in Rio de Janeiro.
