One hydrogen, several Colors and sources... Hydrogen, the fuel of the future, comes in various shades depending on its extraction methods. Let's explore: Grey Hydrogen: Often associated with carbon-intensive processes like coal or Steam Methane Reformation (SMR) using natural gas or methane. While widely used, it leaves a hefty carbon footprint. Green Hydrogen: A beacon of sustainability, produced through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources like solar or wind. Clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Blue Hydrogen: Striking a balance between green and grey, blue hydrogen is generated by coal gasification coupled with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. It's a step towards reducing carbon emissions while utilizing existing infrastructure. Let's harness the power of hydrogen in its cleanest forms to drive positive change for our planet! #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Renewables #hydrogen #industry #fuelstation #mobility #automotive #railway #h2production #h2 #hyddrogenEcosystem Hypnose Automotive Capon Elise Motors

✈️Exciting Study on Energy-Efficient Powertrains, but Where's Aviation? As we continue to explore ways to reduce our carbon footprint and make transportation more sustainable, we wanted to share a fascinating study that highlights the most energy-efficient powertrains for different modes of transportation. The study takes a deep dive into Light-Duty Vehicles (LDV), Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDV), Rail, and...Aviation (see below the Sankey👇 well, it's here that things get interesting. But let's not be too hasty to dismiss the findings! The study reveals some compelling insights: * Trains are generally more efficient than trucks, with freight rail vehicles accounting for only 2% of all transportation-related emissions. * Battery-electric aircraft have the highest efficiency (83%) among the options considered, but this is largely due to avoiding inefficient energy conversions required to produce and use fuel. Now, I know what you're thinking: "What about superconducting aircraft?" Unfortunately, this study doesn't include that option in its analysis. But let's be clear: if we want to make aviation truly sustainable, we need to explore unconventional solutions like superconducting materials. Let's not forget about those innovative options that could revolutionise aviation as we know it! What are your thoughts on this study and its implications? Share your insights in the comments below!

This is huge for the future of clean energy! C-Zero is on track to revolutionize hydrogen production by stripping it from methane without carbon emissions. Unlike traditional methods that emit CO2 or rely on costly renewables, their process is a game-changer for industries like steel and transportation. Here's why this matters: Emission-free hydrogen from natural gas. Lower energy consumption compared to green hydrogen alternatives. Solid carbon byproducts can be repurposed in asphalt or batteries. C-Zero’s tech could be the bridge we need to a cleaner future. P.S. How do you see hydrogen transforming the energy landscape? #CleanEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #SustainableInnovation

Maximising Sustainability in Heavy-Duty Transportation: The Case for Green Hydrogen According to a recent paper by researchers at the University of Michigan, green hydrogen has tremendous potential in heavy-duty transportation applications - such as shipping, rail, #aviation, and #marine transport - where electric alternatives are constrained by load and range. <Paper https://lnkd.in/eeWfgz-d> "We found that renewable electricity sources in the U.S. are insufficient to support hydrogen production for light-duty vehicles," said Timothy Wallington, first author on the report and a research specialist in the UM-Center for Sustainable Systems. "Green hydrogen should be used strategically in heavy-duty road, rail, aviation and marine transportation where electric alternatives are constrained by load and range." However, batteries would not work for these applications, as they're too heavy and too large to power long-distance travel. Hydrogen or e-fuels make more sense as a fuel for these heavy transport applications. To visualise the energy inputs and losses for each hydrogen pathway, the research team developed a set of 25 Sankey diagrams, comparing them with all-electric options. They also measured the energy intensity of each pathway, revealing that the most efficient modes are rail and shipping, while aircraft remain the least efficient due to weight constraints. "What we found is that the trends here follow the energy intensity trends of petroleum-based transportation: with hydrogen, the rail and shipping are most efficient, and an aircraft is least efficient because you have to hold that weight up in the sky," said Dr. Gregory Keoleian also a professor of sustainable systems at the University of Michigan. Let's work together to harness the potential of green hydrogen in heavy-duty transportation and create a more sustainable future for all. #GreenHydrogen #SustainableTransportation #RenewableEnergy #SustainableAviation #SustainableMaritime https://lnkd.in/eKDDffV3
