Scientists propose converting natural gas into hydrogen directly in gas fields

TechXplore

Skoltech researchers have found a way to produce hydrogen from natural gas with 45% efficiency right in the gas field by injecting steam and a catalyst into a well and adding oxygen to ignite the gas. This technology will help accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean hydrogen power.

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."

Fuel bills could rise 90% under Government’s hydrogen plans

Envirotec Magazine

Replacing gas with hydrogen for home heating would result in huge energy bill rises for households over the next three decades, a report by energy analysts Cornwall Insight appears to find. The report, commissioned by MCS Charitable Foundation, projects that hydrogen would cost 70-90% more than gas on average.

Project to create world’s first hydrogen-powered crematorium, in Worthing

Envirotec Magazine

This summer, cremator manufacturer DFW Europe will begin testing pioneering hydrogen technology at its base in the Netherlands. Cremation is an energy intensive process currently reliant on natural gas, and the crematorium has the largest carbon footprint of any site operated by Adur & Worthing Council.

Is hydrogen combustion in natural gas plants still a thing?

Hydrogen Fuel News

Natural gas, despite is clean-sounding name, is a fossil fuel compound made primarily of methane, so many researchers and utilities have been looking into using hydrogen combustion as an alternative in order to substantially shrink the carbon emissions resulting from their operations.
