Success stories of large-scale low-carbon hydrogen projects are hard to come by. Currently, only two green hydrogen plants with electrolyser capacities exceeding 100MW are operational. Together, they produce nearly 39 tonnes of green hydrogen daily....
Right now, green hydrogen doesn’t get larger than NEOM’s 2.2GW project in Oxagon – the industrial city located in the south of Saudi Arabia’s Project 2030 crown jewel development.
Since the start of the year, there have been tumultuous goings-on at the industrial gas major Air Products, which is the world’s leading hydrogen producer today, as well as speculatively investing more than rivals on...
Germany’s economy shrank in 2024, for a second year. As Europe’s leading economy, and the world’s third largest, that’s not only bad news for Germany but all of us.
Unlike in most beer production, where brewers have an obvious use for carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbonate their product, and therefore a clear business incentive for capturing the CO2 from the fermentation process for reuse,...
Aquaculture – farmed fish and shellfish, rather than wild-caught – is big business now, with global demand for fish protein increasing year on year. Projections show growth of 14% by 2030 versus 2020 levels.
Making protein from thin air – or at least from carbon dioxide from direct air capture – is the mission of Solar Foods. Anthony Wright reports on the company’s progress
