Raise of Hydrogen Internal Combustion engines (H-ICE)

Hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are vehicles that run on hydrogen gas, which is burned in an internal combustion engine to power the vehicle. These types of vehicles are an alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles and are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential to reduce emissions and

FAQ

Does hydrogen have a low volumetric energy density? How will this affect hydrogen's position as an energy storage medium?

Hydrogen has a low volumetric energy density when compared to some other energy storage materials, such as hydrocarbons like gasoline. This means that it takes up a relatively large volume for a given amount of energy stored. However, hydrogen has a high gravimetric energy density, which means that it has

India is planning to provide a $2 billion incentive to encourage the development of the green hydrogen industry

India is planning to provide a $2 billion incentive to encourage the development of the green hydrogen industry, according to sources. Green hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water, using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. It is considered a cleaner alternative to traditional hydrogen, which

Hydrogen production by biogas steam reforming: Is it a technically, economically and ecologically feasible concept?

Hydrogen production by biogas steam reforming can be a technically feasible concept, as the process involves using steam to convert biogas, which is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, into hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide. The reaction occurs at high temperatures and requires a catalyst to facilitate the reaction.

Busting 5 myths around Green Hydrogen

#1: Green Hydrogen is Expensive No! Green hydrogen will not be expensive after wide adaptation of the technology. Green hydrogen is currently more expensive than traditional hydrogen, which is produced using fossil fuels. This is because the technology for producing green hydrogen is still relatively new and not yet widely

FAQ

Methods of hydrogen storage

Hydrogen can be stored in many ways, depending on the application and the desired characteristics of the storage system. Some common ways of storing hydrogen include: 1. Geological hydrogen storage Geological hydrogen storage refers to the practice of storing hydrogen underground, in geologic formations such as depleted oil and gas

FAQ

PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzers vs AEL (alkaline electrolysis) electrolyzers: What is the best selection for a Green Hydrogen Project?

PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzers and AEL (alkaline electrolysis) electrolyzers are two types of electrolyzers used to produce hydrogen gas from water using electricity. Both types of electrolyzers use an electric current to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, but they differ in the type of electrolyte solution used

FAQ

Steam methane reforming (SMR) with carbon capture and storage (CCS)aka Blue Hydrogen : Is it a viable option?

Steam methane reforming (SMR) with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a process used to produce hydrogen gas from natural gas while capturing and storing the resulting carbon dioxide emissions. While this process can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing hydrogen from natural gas without CCS, it is not
