The issue is a classic example of the need for public/private co-operation. Governments can set the regulatory framework and support research but private investment is needed to deliver major projects and make hydrogen a viable alternative fuel.
The new fueling station, located at OCTA's bus depot, is equipped with Air Products' SmartFuel® hydrogen fueling technology, design, and equipment. OCTA's current hydrogen fuel cell electric bus fleet is comprised of 10 buses, but the station is built for future growth. It has a bus fueling capacity for up to 50 buses, which corresponds to fueling up to 1,500…
Surplus wind power could soon light and heat Belgian homes thanks to a planned hydrogen plant on the North Sea coast, set to be the world’s first commercial-scale project of its type.
The centerpiece of the National Strategy is a catalog of 31 measures, which include the areas of generation, industry, infrastructure, transport, heating and research. As a "first step", the Federal Government wants to boost "domestic hydrogen production and use".
The results indicate that 25% (by volume) hydrogen can be added to natural gas without significant impacts.
When considering what a global energy system on a 1.5°C or 2°C pathway will look like by 2050, hydrogen consistently plays a critical role as a low-carbon fuel. In fact, for several industrial application areas, there are no other viable pathways to decarbonization.
