Hysata brings a step-change to green hydrogen

While having the potential to greatly assist with the energy transition, green hydrogen production has only experienced incremental improvements over the last five decades. Green hydrogen is expected to contribute 20 per cent of the total abatement required to reach net-zero by 2050, and is crucial in decarbonising sectors like steel, chemicals, high-grade heat and…

Scientists unlock ‘almost infinite’ feedstock for green hydrogen

Natural seawater could feasibly be an “almost infinite” feedstock for green hydrogen following a research breakthrough led by scientists at the University of Adelaide. The team used a catalyst coating which allows hydrogen to be extracted from seawater using existing commercial electrolysers. They are now working to scale the system to use in “commercial processes…
