The green-hydrogen sector has created considerable expectations in the Global South about export-oriented development and industrial path creation. However whether and how these expectations are really materializing requires further scrutiny. This article develops a conceptual approach that we call governance of futuremaking. Thereby we want to understand how actors try to coordinate their expectations about future economic development Read More

Aviation is one of the most challenging sectors to electrify directly due to its high energy density demands. Hydrogen offers a pathway for indirect electrification in such sectors enabling sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) production when combined with a carbon source. SAF produced via methanol or Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis (e-SAF) has higher volumetric density than hydrogen remains liquid under standard conditions and can be used as a Read More

As a result of international agreements on the reduction of CO2 emissions new technologies using hydrogen are being developed. Hydrogen despite being the most abundant element in Nature cannot be found in its pure state. Water is one of the most abundant sources of hydrogen on the planet. The proposal here is to use energy from the sea in order to obtain hydrogen from water. If plants to obtain hydrogen were to be placed in the ocean the impact Read More

Hydrogen specifications for different scenarios are various. Based on national standards for China a comparison of hydrogen specification standards is discussed in this paper including specification standards for industrial hydrogen pure hydrogen high pure hydrogen ultrapure hydrogen hydrogen for electronic industry and hydrogen for PEM FCVs. Hydrogen purity for electronic industry is greater than that for industrial hydrogen pure hydrogen Read More

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of progress towards the European Green Deal (EGD) the European Union’s transformative agenda for achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The analysis encompasses 154 quantifiable targets from 44 policy documents between 2019 and 2024 across key sectors such as climate energy circular economy transport agriculture and food ecosystems and biodiversity water soil and air pollution. The study Read More

This report by the Clean Energy Technology Observatory (CETO) provides an updated strategic analysis of the EU clean energy technology sector. The EU's renewable share in gross final energy consumption rose to 24.5% in 2023 and to 44.7% of gross electricity consumption. The electrification rate however has remained almost unchanged at 26% over the decade to 2023 indicating slow progress on decarbonisation of transport and heating sectors. The E Read More

Hydrogen and electric buses are considered effective options for decarbonizing the public transportation sector positioning them as a leader in this transition. This study models the environmental and economic performances of a set of bus powertrain technologies considering a real case-study of suburban public transport in Italy and including fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) battery electric vehicles (BEV) biomethane-powered vehicles (CBM) natural gas (C Read More

This paper investigates the temperature control problem in hydrogen fuel cells based on the improved sliding mode control method specifically within the context of multirotor drone applications. The study focuses on constructing a control-oriented nonlinear thermal model which serves as a foundation for the subsequent development of a practical temperature regulation approach. Initially a novel sliding mode control strategy is proposed which significa Read More

This comprehensive review explores silica aerogels and their application in environmental remediation. Due to rapid growth in the consumption of energy and water resources the purification of contaminated resources for use by humankind should be considered important. The primary objectives of this review are to assess the evolving landscape of silica aerogels their preparation and drying techniques and to discuss the main findings from a wide range Read More

Considering economic and environmental aspects this study explored the potential of replacing urea imports in Jordan with local production utilizing green hydrogen considering agricultural land distribution fertilizer need and hydrogen demand. The analysis estimated the 2023 urea imports at approximately 13991.37 tons and evaluated the corresponding costs under various market scenarios. The cost of urea imports was projected to range between Read More
