GlobalData: Hydrogen market growth to surge in 2023 despite slowing global economy

Green Car Congress

This shows an upward trend in the low-carbon hydrogen market development, which could be decisive in achieving over 111 million tons per annum (mtpa) capacity worldwide by 2030. mtpa low-carbon hydrogen capacity was announced in the US, Denmark, Egypt, Canada, Portugal, and other countries. million to over $3,001.1

Study confirms €1T green hydrogen potential for Africa

Green Car Congress

Green hydrogen is economically viable at €2/kg and can accelerate low-carbon economic growth across continent and reduce emissions by 40%. The analysis highlights the benefits of harnessing solar power to create green hydrogen in four African hubs: Mauritania, Morocco, southern Africa and Egypt.

Study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems

Green Car Congress

While the group’s experiments focused on the water-splitting process, the results should be applicable to virtually any gas-evolving electrochemical reaction, the team says, including reactions used to electrochemically convert captured carbon dioxide, for example from power plant emissions.

AFRY, RINA study points to feasibility and attractiveness of Gulf-to-Europe hydrogen pipeline

Green Car Congress

RINA, the inspection, certification and consulting engineering multinational, and AFRY, a European leader in engineering, design, and advisory services, have undertaken an initial study of how the Gulf region and Europe could be linked directly with a pipeline to transport low-carbon hydrogen. million tonnes of hydrogen annually.

New Delhi in India, Cairo in Egypt, Lagos in Nigeria). China will reach carbon emission peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, and large cities with a significant greening trend play an important role in neutralizing carbon emission and mitigating the impact of global climate change in urban areas.

Nearly 20% of intact tropical forest landscapes overlap with extractive industries

Green Car Congress

The total area of overlap is 376,449 square miles (975,000 square kilometers), about the size of Egypt. Only 20% of tropical forests can be considered “intact,” but those areas store some 40% of the above-ground carbon found in all tropical forests. The open-access study is published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change.

4,500th GE Evolution Series Locomotive enters service; reductions in fuel consumption and emissions

Green Car Congress

If a railroad replaced 4,500 EMD locomotives with corresponding GE locomotives, it would save approximately 72 million gallons of fuel a year and reduce its carbon emissions by more than 580,000 metric tons annually. By the end of 2011, GE Transportation will have invested approximately $600 million over the past two years.
