New research estimates average long-term green hydrogen price at $32/MWh
New research from Norway has found that deploying around 140 GW of green hydrogen generation capacity by 2050 could make green hydrogen economically viable in Europe. Reaching this scale may help balance system costs effectively while increasing renewable integration, making green hydrogen a self-sustaining technology without subsidies, according to the scientists.
The Hydrogen Stream: EU to move forward with H2 projects
The European Union will continue advancing hydrogen projects, focusing on infrastructure design and supporting production with European equipment, according to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.
Hydrogen detection system for safety, quality control
Researchers in Japan have developed an optimized hydrogen gas measurement using TDLAS technique. It is reportedly able to achieve a detection range of hydrogen gas concentration of 0.01% to 100%. The group said that it can improve hydrogen safety and in turn, its adoption.
Italian startup offers green hydrogen generation, storage system for homes
Italian startup Hybitat Srl has developed a hydrogen production and storage system for long-term storage of surplus residential and commercial solar power. The system includes a main unit with an electrolyzer and fuel cell, as well as a storage unit with 3 kg of hydrogen capacity and 100 kWh of energy capacity.
