Hydrogen Economist

Have your say on industry diversity

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our daily lives and the economic landscape changes, we must not lose focus on other important issues within our industry

PE Live: Regulation needs to catch up with hydrogen development

The rapid emergence of hydrogen as a potential major fuel and energy storage medium means regulation will need to be overhauled—and certain countries are already taking an early lead.

Covid-19 is accelerating the move to renewables

The pandemic and resulting fall in demand for energy is hitting the willingness to fund oil and gas projects more than those involving renewable energy

Creating supply and demand to build the hydrogen economy

Hydrogen technologies are rapidly improving and will become increasingly cost competitive over the next decades

Green hydrogen can be cost competitive

By the time blue hydrogen projects can be completed, the cost of producing green hydrogen may have become lower

Diversity programmes bring positive energy to LNG

LNG is making a contribution to a cleaner energy future. Diverse workforces have their part to play as well.

Japan needs scale to make hydrogen imports viable

The lack of capacity to generate renewable energy in the densely populated island nation means it will need to rely on imports to fulfil its multi-decade hydrogen strategy

French hydrogen mobility project passes major milestone

Public-private joint venture Zero Emission Valley has announced partners to construct green hydrogen filling network

Hydrogen may take off for industrial use

Attention is moving away from transportation and energy storage towards decarbonising hard-to-abate heavy industry processes

PE Live: Stars have aligned for hydrogen economy

The versatility of hydrogen, for use as a decarbonised fuel and as energy storage for renewables, is attracting unprecedented interest

Germany targets global green hydrogen leadership

The country’s national hydrogen strategy will support green hydrogen production and its adoption across the industrial and transport sectors

European hydrogen projects make progress

Pilot schemes are moving forward as ambitions for the fuel grow

Going for green

Heide Refinery has ambitious plans for green hydrogen, starting with replacing grey hydrogen in the production of its fuels and in the local chemicals industry

LNG: The drive for efficiency in increasingly challenging times

Progress continues to be made on driving down costs to help LNG meet the industry’s dual challenge

ExxonMobil takes the long-term view

The firm’s head of LNG remains confident for a growing role for gas in the energy future

Japan needs scale to make hydrogen imports viable (1)

The lack of capacity to generate renewable energy in the densely populated island nation means it will need to rely on imports to fulfil its multi-decade hydrogen strategy

Hydrogen paves the way to decarbonisation

While the ultimate global aim is zero-carbon green hydrogen, there is a key role for every other colour of production in the construction of a hydrogen economy

EU to fund hydrogen as part of decarbonisation strategy

European Commission proposes using EU funds to kickstart private investment in hydrogen technologies that target hard-to-abate sectors

PE Live: Approaches to hydrogen may diverge

The green hydrogen approach increasingly favoured by the EU and some western US states may not be suitable for other regions

Hydrogen to breathe new life into Dutch pipelines

The Netherlands has a gas grid that will become obsolete. Repurposing it could revive the infrastructure
