Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cambridge University David Cebon says hydrogen buses are expensive, inefficient and destined to join an increasingly long list of failed hydrogen transport trials.
Sky News was given exclusive access to the first British designed and built heavy goods vehicle (HGV) to be fuelled by hydrogen.
Brussels wants all new buildings in the EU to be zero-emissions from 2028.
Bruselas propone que los edificios de nueva construcción estén libres de CO2 a partir de 2028.
A peer who helped draft the UK’s Climate Change Act has described forcing households to accept hydrogen boilers as a “potentially dangerous and expensive experiment” amid a mounting Lords rebellion over the plans.
Trade bodies, renewables entrepreneurs, researchers and expert analysts have said that Government policy is holding back a net zero energy system.
Hydrogen has morphed from a targeted solution to a “silver bullet” for the energy transition. But policymakers shouldn’t get caught up in the hype warn David Cebon & Johanne Whitmore, who share recommendations to ensure hydrogen plays its valuable role in the energy transition without derailing progress towards net zero.
Some time in 2024, households in Fife will turn on their kitchen cookers and start making dinner. But there will be something different about the preparation of this meal: the flame will be yellow instead of blue. The gas burning on the stove will be hydrogen, and it will emit no carbon.
A new study has cast doubt on government claims that hydrogen could be used to heat homes and so cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Green hydrogen is often presented as the key to energy transformation, but producing it still requires a lot of energy. This is the warning scientists such as David Cebon, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cambridge and member of the Hydrogen Science Coalition
Experts puzzled by proposal from owner of Florida utility to convert its fleet of baseload natural gas-fired power stations to run on green hydrogen by 2045
Businesses such as BP are right to explore the potential that hydrogen possesses
Producing H2 from methane would drive up natural-gas demand and household bills, adding to EU’s energy woes, says think-tank IEEFA
DISPATCHES | A truly global group of the great and the good convened in Barcelona to discuss hugely optimistic targets, practical challenges, hard-to-abate sectors… and the ‘liars’ promoting blue H2
España puede ser un actor importante en este tipo de energía, pero hay que evitar destinarla a fines equivocados: cuando es posible electrificar, resulta mucho más eficiente esta opción
Es una de las voces más cualificadas en el futuro del transporte sostenible y prevé que en 10 años las flotas de las ciudades estén electrificadas.
Los combustibles sintéticos se presentan como una alternativa limpia para la movilidad del futuro, pero su empleo a gran escala plantea algunas dudas.
Nace una coalición de expertos para velar por un futuro del hidrógeno basado en la ciencia y no en intereses particulares de empresas o gobiernos.
An independent expert group of scientists, academics and engineers has today launched a new advisory body — the Hydrogen Science Coalition (HSC) — that aims to bring “concrete evidence back into the hydrogen debate, free from industry bias”.
The “world’s first” independent coalition on hydrogen’s role in the energy transition has been launched today (Dec 9). Dubbed the Hydrogen Science Coalition, the group is a voluntary coalition of experts and aims to provide recommendations for governments to integrate hydrogen technologies in the best way possible.
A group of concerned scientists write an open letter to the UK government to warn of the inefficiencies and added expense of using H2 in sectors where electric alternatives are cheaper.
Letter to prime minister says government should take a cautious approach to fossil-fuel based ‘blue hydrogen’, Daisy Dunne reports.
UK taxpayers could subsidise the production of “low carbon” hydrogen to make it as cheap as natural gas, as ministers seek to persuade a range of sectors to switch away from fossil fuels.
On Tuesday, the U.K. outlined its plan for building a hydrogen economy, pledging to develop subsidy schemes that would incentivize $5 billion of investment into the industry by 2030. According to the government’s projections, the British domestic hydrogen industry could generate $18 billion of value added, create 100,000 new jobs and power 35% of the U.K.’s energy consumption by 2050.
Billions of pounds of households’ money is to be funnelled into hydrogen production as Britain battles to create a market in the clean-burning gas.
A study by two major universities in the United States has claimed that the alternative fuel source that is widely expected to form a central part of the British government’s new hydrogen strategy, coming out later this year, is in fact more damaging to the environment than burning natural gas.
A scientific paper released Aug. 12 that said low-carbon hydrogen in heating was significantly worse for the environment than using natural gas poses a challenge for the UK’s forthcoming hydrogen strategy, expected to include support for both low-carbon and renewable production.
Boris Johnson is being misled by Britain’s multibillion-pound fossil fuel lobby into backing climate change policies that risk unnecessarily pushing up energy bills and undermining carbon targets, leading scientists warn today.
