Worse still, for these investors, is the risk that future governments will abolish Net Zero completely, or at the very least keep carbon taxes low. In that event, their business…

BP Abandon Teesside Hydrogen Plant
It cannot work without massive subsidies and I suspect BP have seen the writing on the wall. With interest in Net Zero dwindling and the public beginning to wake up…
South Africa Embraces Green Hydrogen Exports as the Solution to their Economic Woes
Perhaps they should take it slow with this “opportunity”.
£2 Billion UK Hydrogen Plant Cancelled
So in this upside down world of Net Zero, we make hydrogen from natural gas, emitting lots of CO2, then combine it with nitrogen in another energy intensive process to…
Claim: Government Mandates can Help Australia to Seize Renewable Energy Export Opportunities
If it is a profitable opportunity, why is government intervention required to make it happen?
Brink Of Extinction – More And More Companies Rejecting Costly Hydrogen Technology
Once considered a key technology in the green energy transition, companies are waking up and finding out that hydrogen isn’t the answer to the challenges posed by renewable energies such…
Airbus’s Hydrogen Fantasy Crash Lands
It shows, once again, that green policies too often chase headlines, not hard science, engineering, or econonmics.
Kill Them All – Stop Wasting Our Money on Green Pipe Dreams
“Every time you involve hydrogen, you get not small losses, but large, substantial losses,” an energy specialist tells us. “The main cause of the issue is that hydrogen is a…
Green Hydrogen to Increase Gas Bills
We already have the highest electricity prices in the developed world and UK and European gas prices are many times higher than those in the US and Canada. We simply cannot afford…
The Myth of a Hydrogen Economy
“Scientists, engineers, and policymakers must reject symbolic solutions and focus on measurable, scalable, and scientifically robust strategies. Not all gases are equally dangerous, and not all solutions are equally wise.”
The Uranium – Hydrogen – Carbon Energy System of the Future
In summary, we will be going to Net Zero whether we like it or not. Because one day we will run out of coal and oil and all the other…
Energy Fantasy Versus Reality In Woke-Land — Part III
Meanwhile, there is at least some reason to think that JPM at the highest levels has finally started to see reality and re-think its green energy commitments. Just in January,…
BP Scraps Major Hydrogen Plans for Teeside
BP’s announcement that it had dropped plans for a “green” hydrogen plant has been described as “bitterly disappointing”.
Geologic Hydrogen: A Game-Changer or Another Energy Mirage?
For now, it’s a tantalizing “maybe.” The authors call for more research, and they’re right—too much is up in the air to bank on it. Think early shale gas: a…
Hydrogen Energy: Not Clean, Green, Cheap
Hydrogen. The first element in the Periodic Table and the most abundant element in the Universe. It is also the simplest element—the most common isotope has only one proton and…
Waking Up to Harsh Reality: Airbus Abandon’s Hydrogen Powered Airplanes
Green pie-in-the-sky dream crash lands on the runway of reality.
German Rail Operator Switches Back To Diesel Locomotives, Hopes Measure Will Be Temporary
According to the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV), the hydrogen trains on the Taunusbahn have been temporarily taken out of service and diesel locomotives are being used again. The hydrogen locomotives are manufactured by Alstom…
First Hydrogen CfDs Awarded
The first three CfDs have been announced for the Hydrogen Allocation Round 1.
‘Miracle’ of Green Hydrogen Becomes Fading Mirage
The story of green hydrogen’s fall from grace is eerily reminiscent of past technological bubbles. We saw similar patterns with first-generation biofuels and concentrated solar power. Each time, the lesson…
Study: A Switch to Hydrogen Could Cause “Non-negligible” Global Warming
Leaks from Hydrogen storage and pipelines will apparently slow down the destruction of atmospheric methane.
Hydrogen facility will definitely open in Bradford
So for a hundred million or two, we will get enough hydrogen to power 800 diesel buses! Bargain!
Natural Gas or Coal, do we have a choice?
Understanding more about gas and coal, their importance for our energy needs and daily products used, but also their environmental impact, helps us make smarter energy policy decisions. I see…
The DEFR Follies — Cost Of Hydrogen Storage
I understand that there are people moving forward on setting up some of this hydrogen infrastructure, funded with government subsidies. It’s almost impossible to imagine how much subsidies it would…
Equinor abandons ‘blue’ hydrogen plans
The problem for Equinor’s German project was that it could not find enough customers to buy the hydrogen it proposed to produce.
