Despite the shift of global […]

Manufacturing blue hydrogen emits 20 percent more carbon than burning natural gas or coal for heat Hydrogen – considered a clean source of energy – could lead to higher greenhouse gas emissions than coal, according to a new study by researchers at Cornell and Stanford Universities. The study examined the greenhouse-gas emissions generated by the production of “blue” hydrogen. The process uses steam heat to turn natural gas into carbon […]
Operation of the world’s largest solar powered hydrogen plant began on 20 April 2021 in China.
