Hydrogen Production via Direct Seawater Electrolyisis, Literature Review
Jan 2025
Publication
Seawater electrolysis is a promising approach for sustainable hydrogen production that could alleviate the ever-growing demand for freshwater resources. This literature review synthesizes current research on direct seawater electrolysis drawing attention to advances in electrode materials catalyst efficiency and system design. Furthermore an overview of indirect seawater electrolysis is given as a benchmark. Key challenges including electrode corrosi Read More
Hydrogen for a Sustainable Europe
Nov 2024
Publication
This brochure provides a detailed overview of the EU’s funding mechanisms and an inspiring look at real projects managed by CINEA. These examples illustrate how diverse stakeholders from industry leaders to research institutions are translating hydrogen ambitions into impactful on-the-ground solutions that address both technological and societal needs.
Public Acceptance of the Underground Storage of Hydrogen: Lessons Learned from the Geological Storage of CO2
Mar 2025
Publication
The successful commercialisation of underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is contingent upon technological readiness and social acceptance. A lack of social acceptance inadequate policies/regulations an unreliable business case and environmental uncertainty have the potential to delay or prevent UHS commercialisation even in cases where it is ready. The technologies utilised for underground hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage are analogous. Read More
Providing Solutions to Decarbonize Energy-Intensive Industries for a Sustainable Future in Egypt by 2050
Mar 2025
Publication
Around 75% of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are generated by the combustion of fossil fuels (FFs) for energy production. Tackling climate change requires a global shift away from FF reliance and the decarbonization of energy systems. The energy manufacturing and construction sectors contribute a significant portion of Egypt’s total GHG emissions largely due to the reliance on fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries (EIIs). Decar Read More
Large Scale Power-to-X Production Enabling Hydrogen Valleys: A Case Study of Future Industrial Hydrogen Valley Opportunity in Finland
Mar 2025
Publication
Many industrial processes such as ammonia fuel or steel production require considerable amounts of fossil feedstocks contributing significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Some of these fossil feedstocks and processes can be decarbonised via Power-to-X (P2X) production concepts based on hydrogen (H2) requiring considerable amounts of renewable electricity. Creating hydrogen valleys (HV) may facilitate a cost-efficient H2 production feeding Read More
Quantifying Key Economic Uncertainties in the Cost of Trading Green Hydrogen
Mar 2025
Publication
In a fully decarbonized global energy system hydrogen is likely to be one of few energy vectors that can facilitate long-distance export of renewable energy. However because of divergent literature findings consensus is yet to be reached on the total supply chain costs of shipping hydrogen either as a cryogenic liquid or ammonia. To this end this article presents a detailed process systems-based economic analysis of a typical hydrogen value chain in 2050 Read More
Green Tides: The Suez Canal as Key Hub and Green Corridor for a Hydrogen Future Between the Middle East and Europe
Feb 2025
Publication
The shipping industry faces the dual challenge of reducing emissions to meet net-zero targets by 2050 and transporting green energy sources like hydrogen and its derivatives. Green shipping corridors provide experimental routes for lowcarbon solutions with the Suez Canal uniquely positioned to lead. This paper examines the canal’s evolving role as a dynamic energy space where diverse actors and networks intersect shaping spatial power relations and ali Read More
