Hydrogen is sometimes seen as a panacea for all problems and challenges that the energy transition may pose. But is it all it’s cracked up to be? And what colour hydrogen is the best colour?
The consortium behind the Oyster “green” hydrogen project has secured 5 million euros of EU funding to demonstrate their combined offshore wind turbine and electrolyser system.
As most science nerds will know hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It’s everywhere we look although the vast majority is out of reach until we develop the ability to travel at warp speed. Yes, I admit it. I am a Star Trek fan.
The road to large-scale hydrogen production is likely to be long and riddled with tough challenges, particularly if it is to become a fixture offshore.
A consortium group led by Danish offshore wind giant Orsted has received a multi-million pound funding injection for an offshore wind-derived hydrogen project.
Aberdeen's hydrogen bus project has proved influential in storage and fuel company ITM Power signeing an agreement with BOC for the installation of infrastructure at its electrolyser-based hydrogen refuelling stations for passenger cars.
