Vietnam’s Green Hydrogen Potential: Paper

Vietnam’s Green Hydrogen Potential: Paper

March 17, 2024 | , , ,

Between 2016 and 2020, the manufacturing sector made up 23.8% of Vietnam’s GDP, with almost one-fifth—5% of the manufacturing sector—coming from the domestic iron and steel industries. Surprisingly, the steel sector alone is responsible for 7% of Vietnam’s total CO2 emissions. Decreasing emissions from iron and steel will require transitioning away from fossil fuels that have traditionally powered production and shifting toward low or zero-emission alternatives.

LCOH for Heavy Duty Vehicles: NREL Report

March 15, 2024 | , , ,

This technical report “Levelized Cost of Dispensed Hydrogen for Heavy-Duty Vehicles” by NREL explores the range of levelized costs of dispensed hydrogen (H2) from hydrogen refuelling (or fueling) stations (HRS) for H2 heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles that are feasible in the 2030 timeframe. Different scenarios by varying hydrogen delivery distances, HRS sizes, HRS utilisation rates, and economies of scale in the Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model are inspected.

Chevron to set up solar-to-hydrogen production project in US

Chevron to set up solar-to-hydrogen production project in US

March 5, 2024 | , , ,

Chevron New Energies, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., announced it is developing a 5 MW hydrogen production project in California’s Central Valley. The project aims to create lower carbon energy by utilising solar power, land, and non-potable produced water from Chevron’s existing assets at the Lost Hills Oil Field in Kern County. Reportedly, this low carbon intensity (LCI) electrolytic hydrogen will be produced through electrolysis, which is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Recent Developments and Future Prospects in India’s Green Hydrogen Space

Recent Developments and Future Prospects in India’s Green Hydrogen Space

February 17, 2024 | , ,

Green hydrogen is critical for meeting India’s energy security needs while reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors. Recognising this, the Indian government launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission in early 2022. The aim is to spur green hydrogen production and consumption through roughly $2.3 billion in incentive funding, to be distributed between 2022 and 2030. Recently, the sector witnessed key auction results and policy announcements by the government.

Electricity Outlook for the Americas

Electricity Outlook for the Americas

February 5, 2024 | , , ,

Strong growth in renewable power increasingly displaces fossil-fired generation. Electricity demand is estimated to have declined by 0.4% in 2023, largely because of fall in US demand due to milder weather bringing down the average. Due to strong growth in renewables, the share of fossil fuels in electricity generation is expected to fall from 50% in 2022 to 44% in 2026.
