European scientists group urges ban on new natural gas boilers

Envirotec Magazine

Natural gas is not cleaner than other fossil fuels and using it instead of coal or oil risks achieving little or no reduction in greenhouse gas effects, says science advisory group the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) in a new report “Future of Gas”. We can’t argue our way out of drastic changes.

Could green hydrogen be key to a carbon-free economy?

GreenBiz

Experts such as Fakhry say that while wind and solar energy can provide the electricity to power homes and electric cars, green hydrogen could be an ideal power source for energy-intensive industries such as concrete and steel manufacturing, as well as parts of the transportation sector that are more difficult to electrify.

Could surging gas prices help solve the methane leak crisis?

Business Green

New IEA analysis reveals methane emissions from the energy sector are 70 per cent higher than official reports, but could high gas prices finally prompt operators to tackle the problem. It is one of the biggest and most worrying mysteries in the field of climate science: where are all the methane emissions coming from?

C-Zero Raises $11.5M to Scale up ‘Turquoise Hydrogen’ Technology

GreenTechMedia

But the vast majority of today’s industrial hydrogen production is ‘grey,’ made from natural gas via steam methane reforming — a process that emits carbon dioxide, but at a low cost that electrolysis will struggle to beat over the coming decades. Different approaches to turquoise hydrogen.

Electrified transit bus sales overtake diesel in the EU

Charged

As the International Council on Clean Transportation explains, city buses (not including coaches and interurban buses) make up about 60% of all heavy-duty passenger vehicle sales. The targets will increase to 33-65% in 2026, so diesel’s days in Europe are clearly numbered. Source: International Council on Clean Transportation
