American researchers say that the climate effects of hydrogen are mainly dependent on production methods and raw material emissions, while Nikola Corp. 95 trucks with hydrogen has recalled and has requested a bankruptcy of Chapter 11.
University of Texas Researchers said that the production method and the emission of raw materials mainly determine the climate effects of the life cycle of hydrogen, while hydrogen leakage and indirect warming contribute less than 15%. The carbon intensity of the electricity source and the carbon intensity of the production process have a much greater influence on the general warming potential of hydrogen production, ”the researchers said in Communication earth and surroundings. They adopted a 2% hydrogen leak and compared to fossil fuel-based and hydrogen-based steel production and heavy transport, which means that emission reductions from 800 to more than 1,400 kg CO₂ equivalent per tonne of steel and 0.17 kg CO₂ equivalent per barrel of freight of cargo. Hydrogen reduced steel emissions in all cases, but was not universally effective in heavy transport.
Nikola Corp. has 95 FCEV trucks with hydrogen powered by a defect in the mounting bolts of hydrogen tank that can cause damage, Truck information reported. Earlier this month, it said That it and some of her subsidiaries had submitted for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US bankruptcy court for the Delaware district.
Everfuel has delivered its first hydrogen to the Crossbridge Energy refinery. ‘It has been a long and complex journey, but now we are able to be steadily stiffen production” said Jacob Krogsgaard, founder and CEO of the Danish hydrogen producer.
H2MOF This hydrogen transport remains expensive and inefficient, but crucial for the hydrogen economy. “Existing technologies for hydrogen transport include pipelines, bush rails, cryogenic tankers and carrier materials such as ammonia. Despite a few incremental improvements in recent decades, these technologies fall short of achieving cost goals and show some important limitations that can hinder their acceptance on a larger scale: material compatibility, safety challenges, high investment costs, energy-intensive, ”the company said in its newest white paper. It noted that in 2023 the world produced and consumed 97 million tons of hydrogen.
Ikigai CapitalThe co-founder and COO, Helena Anderson, said during a recent event in Milan that Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom and Italy are currently the most attractive hydrogen markets. “Hydrogen plays a specific role in certain applications, especially in industries that are difficult to keep. It is not for every context, “she said, and noted that the United Kingdom and Italy are advancing hydrogen investments as a result of schedules for income support.
