China has announced the successful development of a large-scale hydrogen system, capable of storing up to 100 kilograms of H2, for vehicle integration. This achievement represents a significant milestone in China's sustainable transportation sector.
The development of this hydrogen system is led by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). It is specifically designed for road vehicles such as trucks, enabling clean propulsion.
It’s commonly thought that the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen, exists mainly alongside other elements — with oxygen in water, for example, and with carbon in methane. But naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen are punching holes in that notion — and generating attention as a potentially unlimited source of carbon-free power.
Hydrogen is an integral component for the manufacture of steel, fertilizer, and a number of chemicals. Producing hydrogen using renewable electricity offers a way to clean up these and many other hard-to-decarbonize industries.
In August 2023, researchers at POSTECH improved water electrolysis catalysts for green hydrogen, blending iridium, ruthenium, and osmium, enhancing performance but highlighting challenges in maintaining stability. The growing demand to develop sustainable and efficient resources has pushed for various innovations.
The transportation of goods forms the basis of today’s globally distributed supply chains, and long-haul trucking is a central and critical link in this complex system. To meet climate goals around the world, it is necessary to develop decarbonized solutions to replace diesel powertrains, but given trucking’s indispensable and vast role, these solutions must be both economically viable and practical to implement.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury missed its mid-August deadline to release guidance defining the type of hydrogen production eligible to receive the maximum tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.
The department had a year from the passage of the legislation last August to decide how producers might benefit from a tax credit that provides a subsidy of up to $3 per kilogram. The incentive is meant to bolster the production of "green" hydrogen, which is made using electrolyzers that split water molecules.
Green hydrogen is a promising and sustainable energy carrier. However, its transport is anything but energy efficient. Our colleagues from thyssenkrupp Uhde explain why transporting hydrogen by ship is not sustainable and why green ammonia is a good solution.
