Everything You Wanted to Know About Hydrogen Power (But Were Afraid to Ask) The author, Joseph J. Romm, uses clear, jargon-free language to explain the barriers encountered with hydrogen, from its inefficiency as an energy carrier to the “chicken-and-egg” problem in infrastructure development. The latest edition (April 2025) of the book breaks down the latest methods of production, including “green” hydrogen, hydrogen made with nuclear power, geologic hydrogen, and “blue” hydrogen from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), laying out the challenges with each. After providing the necessary technical concepts, Romm explores the limitations of suggested applications of hydrogen, including e-fuels made with direct air capture of CO2, hydrogen cars, and heating in buildings and industry. He concludes the book with a summary of the advances in renewables and battery technology, electrification that he believes offers us a cleaner, safer path forward—and can be implemented today.  One significant criticism of the book is that it doesn’t explore the role that “green” hydrogen (produced by electrolysis, or other processes that don’t extract it from oil, gas, or coal) will play in sharply reducing the carbon footprint of many industrial processes. Specifically, such processes would involve those used to make steel, fertilizers, ammonia, cement, and other materials essential to the global economy. Fortunately, I’ve found several relatively trustworthy sources for information about how green hydrogen makes economic and environmental sense in these applications. I’ll include them, and information about several new technologies for generating hydrogen without using hydrocarbons, as a feedstock in my upcoming article, so stay tuned… Source link The post Everything You Wanted to Know About Hydrogen Power (But Were Afraid to Ask) appeared first on H2Invest.io. …..

𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒚𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏! I thought H2 as an energy source is classified in just two colors – Blue and Green.  But I came across an interesting article from EPC consultant about 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 different colors H2! The color code is related to the method for H2 production.  𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: Splitting Natural Gas (mostly methane) into H2 and CO2. The process is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR). CO2 is a by-product but captured through CCS. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: This one probably has no future, at least no one wants to talk about it. H2 is produced by SMR (like blue hydrogen), but CO2 is not captured. If I am right, most of the current refineries produce grey H2. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: Splitting water into H2 and O2. The process is electrolysis. The Source of electricity is a combination of renewables like solar and wind. 𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: Similar to Green H2 but the electricity source is only solar (not a combination of other renewables).   𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: Again, similar to Green H2 but using nuclear energy for electrolysis.

Basic Energy Facts The following information should support an understanding of the transition to renewable energy. All energy except for nuclear energy and energy from the Earth's core comes from the sun. For this discussion we will talk about solar energy. When the sun shines it provides light for our daily activities and heats the atmosphere to keep us warm. This energy is used as soon as it reaches the Earth. Nature can save energy for  times when the sun is not available. It accomplishes this through a process known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis combines energy from the sun with CO2 to create compounds that can later be used to release the stored energy. Regarding a annual cycle plants absorb energy and CO2 and release it  at another time.. In other words, we grow corn in the spring and summer we use it in the fall and winter to provide the energy we need until we can start the next crop of corn. The energy cycle for trees is a lot longer. They absorb CO2 and create compounds which might release the energy up to 100 years later and in the process releasing the CO2 captured earlier. Fossil fuel energy is CO2 and sunlight that was absorbed millions of years ago. We use it today to create energy and in the process release CO2. Solar panels convert the energy from the sun to electricity which must be used immediately or stored for future use. Wind turbines or hydroelectric turbines convert the kinetic energy of moving air or falling water to electricity which again must be used immediately. We have the capacity to store energy in several ways. One way is with batteries which involve a fairly short cycle between creation and consumption. Hydroelectric facilities can lengthen the storage cycle to a year or several years in some cases. Rainfall follows an annual cycle with most of the rain in the winter months. In order to use the rain that fell in the winter months during the summer the water is stored behind dams which can then be released according to the demand for electricity. Some people point out that wind and solar cannot create energy when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow. This is true but the cycles can be balanced by the use of hydroelectric which has a much longer cycle and is very efficient as a storage mechanism. Over the long run fossil fuels may also be used to balance out supply with consumption but will be used in much smaller proportion than it is today. Over the long run backup supply may also be provided by nuclear energy https://lnkd.in/efZstDjp

Hydrogen or ammonia? The green dream pipeline is growing, but not enough projects are born and reliably profitable. While the Australia-Singapore solar-generated energy supply line is exiting out of the spotlight (the costs of solving technology related risks are insurmountable for a for-profit-business), the #hydrogen pipeline from North Africa to Europe is still in the "optimistic studies" phase. It is definitely shorter. Technically, more feasible. There are optimistic studies of the steady demand prepared to pay the supply price. The only problem is with the supply itself. Some analysts published their opinions and according to them, current Algeria's and Tunisia’s green hydrogen strategies don't provide certainty that either country will be in a position to export the fuel in any meaningful quantity when the pipeline is due to start operating in 2030. The risk of building a huge white elephant of an infrastructure variety is hidden from public view or smoothed over as something only theoretical to happen. In the whole balance of energy supply and demand, nuclear energy generation is not brought up any more, but with many E.U. countries already deciding to build nuclear power generation plants and countries already relying on nuclear not following the decision in Germany to mothball their plants, this pipeline may be remembered more for the greatly optimistic studies than for actually being build. What do you think of how hydrogen will pan out as the fuel of the ever hotter Earth's future? https://lnkd.in/dU52gYX8

Pioneering a New Era of Fusion Power Helion Energy is advancing one of the most ambitious projects in clean energy with the goal of delivering commercial fusion electricity to the grid by 2028. Unlike conventional fusion machines that rely on massive toroidal magnets, Helion is developing a radically different approach that could transform the global energy sector by providing virtually limitless, zero-carbon electricity at an exceptionally low cost. With this vision, Helion stands at the forefront of a possible new era in power generation. The company’s objective is to build the world’s first grid-connected fusion power plant capable of achieving net-positive energy output and delivering electricity directly to consumers. Backed by over $1 billion in funding and strategic partnerships with major players such as Microsoft and Nucor, Helion is positioning fusion as a scalable and practical solution to global decarbonization. Their cost target of producing electricity at roughly one cent per kilowatt-hour highlights the disruptive potential of their technology. What makes Helion unique is its departure from conventional fusion designs. Instead of the complex and costly infrastructure of tokamaks, Helion employs a linear pulsed system that forms and accelerates plasma rings, known as Field Reversed Configurations, which are then merged and compressed at supersonic speed to reach fusion conditions. Unlike traditional systems that rely on heating water to drive turbines, Helion captures the charged fusion products directly as electricity, avoiding intermediate steps and inefficiencies. Furthermore, the company’s chosen fuel cycle—deuterium and helium-3—produces very few neutrons, dramatically reducing radiation concerns and nearly eliminating the issue of long-lived nuclear waste. At the heart of this approach is a three-step process: the creation and merging of high-energy plasmas, their rapid compression with pulsed magnetic fields, and the triggering of aneutronic fusion reactions. Most of the energy released comes in the form of charged particles, which are harnessed directly by induction coils. To ensure a steady fuel supply, Helion also produces helium-3 on-site through side reactions of deuterium and the decay of tritium, addressing one of the major challenges of aneutronic fusion. If successful, the implications for the clean energy sector are profound. Fusion promises an inexhaustible supply of power derived from readily available resources, without carbon emissions or the environmental challenges associated with fission. Helion’s technology could deliver the kind of reliable baseload power needed to decarbonize heavy industries such as steelmaking and to meet the growing demands of data centers. With minimal neutron emissions and inherent safety features that allow for immediate shutdown, the regulatory environment is likely to be far less stringent than that of traditional nuclear power, enabling faster deployment and reduced costs.

Year after year, global wind installation numbers remain being impresive, but why they continue talking exclusively about iInstalled capacity when it´s a fact that it doesn’t tell the whole story. A wind farm rated at 300 MW might look impressive on paper. But with a typical capacity factor varying between 25%-35% pending on the type of farm (onshore and offshore) 30–50%, it delivers somethin rounding 75 to 105 MW on average. Compare that with nuclear: 300 MW at ~90% capacity factor = 270 MW average— by far more than double the reliable output. This is the hidden truth behind the numbers: the world demmands clean, consistent baseload power and it requires a mix of technologies including those that can run day and night, rain or shine. As we invest in renewables, we must also invest in proven, high-capacity solutions like nuclear energy not only to keep grids stable and decarbonize effectively but also to protect economy and energy security. Take a look to the below infografic: Why Did Renewable Growth Stall in Key Markets such as US, Spain, Germany, UK...? Why, for the first time, are countries traditionally supportive of renewables, such as Denmark... beginning to face empty tenders when it comes to installing new capacity? Could they be reaching the limit of the grid’s capacity to absorb energy sources like wind or solar? If that were the case, who should bear the cost of upgrading the existing infrastructure? #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition #BaseloadPower #SustainableFuture

India hit a huge clean energy milestone, five years ahead of schedule. Half of the country’s total power now comes from non-fossil sources like solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear. That means less reliance on coal, lower emissions, and a clear signal that rapid change is possible. If one of the world’s biggest energy users can make this shift, what’s stopping the rest of us? The lesson for solar businesses is simple, when governments and homeowners align, adoption accelerates. Renewables aren’t the future, they’re the present. The only question is whether your business is ready to scale with it.

With U.S. electricity demand projected to surge by as much as 60% through 2050 to fuel the AI boom—initiating a race against time to build sufficient power generation—the strong old bones of closed or retiring coal plants offer a shortcut to get new power projects online much more quickly. They can skip the two-year queue for high-voltage grid connections—regardless of whether these projects are for gas, wind, solar, geothermal, or even new-age nuclear.
