The HYBRIT initiative, owned by SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall, aims to replace the coke used in iron ore-based steelmaking with hydrogen. Ironmaking accounts for around 90% of SSAB’s carbon dioxide emissions. The new process would emit water instead of carbon dioxide. Laboratory tests and a prefeasibility study have shown that the process works and the pilot plant being built in…
Four hydrogen-cell-powered Toyota Mirai vehicles, parked backstage, stored the energy that delivered the power. The hydrogen fuel cells stored clean and renewable energy derived from solar power, with zero carbon emissions. U2 are the first international touring band to use hydrogen power at a show and the second Tokyo gig was the first sold-out show to use this energy source…
"The biggest challenge is that we have to make progress in a variety of areas in terms of the energy transition and climate protection, not only in the electricity market, but also in mobility, building heating and industry. Hydrogen as a universal energy storage is an indispensable building block."
Don Brunell, retired president of the Association of Washington Business, writes, "Now that hydrogen technology is growing in acceptance, it is starting to scale up, reduce production costs, and accelerate infrastructure and research."
