Sky-high gas prices encourage clean hydrogen as a decarbonisation tool for industry

The ongoing energy crisis and its unprecedented high wholesale gas prices have been a major burden for Europe’s fossil fuel-intensive industrial sector, but they have also brightened the case for investing in clean hydrogen as an alternative and greener feedstock. Energy journalist Karolin Schaps investigates the role green hydrogen is playing in Europe’s industry.

Brazil gets ready to lead in green hydrogen

The world’s fifth largest country by land area is preparing to use its abundant natural resources and major renewable energy sector to become the world’s largest producer of green hydrogen. However, with several challenges to overcome, local experts say that the likelihood of Brazil achieving this aim remains difficult to predict. Andreia Nogueira reports.

Desert is served: The Middle East countries turning a profit from overground solar and wind resources

For decades, the Middle East has been synonymous with oil and gas, powering industries, transport networks and economies worldwide. While fossil fuels will remain a significant part of the region’s energy mix, a noticeable shift is underway. Some of the wealthiest Gulf states, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, are aggressively scaling up their renewable energy capacity, aiming to position themselves as global leaders in the clean energy transition, writes Sara Siddeeq.

Is electrolyser technology good enough to build a large-scale hydrogen economy?

Development of electrolysers which split water into hydrogen and oxygen will be critical to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. In particular for decarbonising hard-to-abate industries, with electrolysis powered by renewable energy. Although electrolysis capacity is growing from a relatively low base today, there is need for significant acceleration to reach the net zero target, writes New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis.
