Plans to trade Canadian hydrogen with Germany are riddled with hurdles – but it’s not too late for Canada to instead decarbonise its existing hydrogen industry as an achievable priority, write Paul Martin and Jochen Bard.

Natural hydrogen would present a very welcome opportunity to decarbonize current-day hydrogen production, but the situation doesn’t look promising, says Paul Martin, founding member of the Hydrogen Science Coalition.

“Conlleva muchos retos técnicos, de seguridad y económicos”, explica Paul Martin, ingeniero químico y confundador de la Hydrogen Science Coalition.

Hydrogen production is touted by the Canadian government and others around the world as a clean alternative to fossil fuel use, but climate-impact assessments are vulnerable to miscalculations, according to new research by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

Est-ce que le projet offre la meilleure utilisation de nos ressources énergétiques pour assurer un « Québec plus vert et plus prospère » ? Nous tentons d’y répondre.

The industry is earning international interest, but some suggest expectations should be tempered.

The clean energy gathered steam in the seventies, but after many false starts a mass market is yet to materialise.

Le chancelier allemand, Olaf Scholz, est reparti du Canada avec la promesse que son pays obtiendrait des livraisons d’hydrogène dès 2025. Or, transporter ce carburant sur une aussi grande distance implique des pertes énergétiques qui rendent cette idée non viable, estiment des spécialistes.

À la veille de la visite du chancelier allemand au pays, des scientifiques, des experts juridiques et des environnementalistes mettent en garde la population que les projets d’exportation de gaz naturel vers l’Allemagne nuiraient aux engagements climatiques du Canada et ne constituent pas une solution à la crise énergétique en Europe.

Paul Martin, chemical engineer, and co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition, joins BNN Bloomberg’s Jacqueline Hansen to discuss the possibility of repurposing LNG infrastructure for hydrogen exports.

Canada’s dash to build new LNG infrastructure to export hydrogen is scientifically baseless and risks locking itself and Germany into a fossil fuel dependency.

Namibia, a country of abundant wind and sun, has ambitions to be one of Africa’s first green hydrogen export hubs.

Pursuing green hydrogen as a fuel source is not the best solution for combatting climate change because it’s inefficient and is often created with carbon-emitting energy sources.

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.

Governments across the globe have bet big on hydrogen, making it the “rockstar of the energy system” and a leading solution to decarbonize hard to abate sectors. But, with costs of low carbon and green hydrogen remaining high, huge infrastructure needs, and efficiency concerns, is the hype merited?
