Could trash-to-energy technology feed hydrogen demand?

GreenBiz

Could trash-to-energy technology feed hydrogen demand? One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash. . Green hydrogen — made by splitting water’s hydrogen and oxygen using electricity produced by renewable sources — is a small fish in the "energies pond." Arlene Karidis.

Can Gas-Fired Power Plants Coexist with a Net-Zero Target? Yes, Southern Company Insists

GreenTechMedia

utility can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while still keeping natural gas as a central part of its business, both to generate electricity and to sell to its customers. That includes a recommitment to reaching its 2030 goal of reducing carbon emissions below 50 percent of their 2007 levels, potentially ahead of schedule.

Could trash-to-energy technology feed hydrogen demand?

Business Green

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash. Today, more than 95 per cent of hydrogen is fossil-based and does not rely on renewables.

Biofuels are a controversial climate solution. Could they still help save the planet?

Grist

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.

Why the UK should commit to a zero carbon power system by 2035

Business Green

The UK is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and this year's edition of National Grid ESO's 'Future Energy Scenarios' shows that a 2035 clean power sector driven by a massive expansion of renewables is now the benchmark for the UK if it is to reach this goal.

EU sees growing dependence on clean technology imports

Smart Energy International

For example, over 60% of the global manufacturing capacity for key value chain segments of batteries and solar is located in China, with over 90% of the capacity for the wafers and ingots required for solar PV there. The report finds that the EU is on track to meet the forecast demand for batteries for 2025 and 2030.
