Green hydrogen, generated through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy, holds promise for nearly zero emissions. However, as interest grows in low-carbon hydrogen, the industry is moving beyond simplistic colour categorizations.

Hydrogen's low volumetric energy density poses a significant challenge. Traditional storage methods, such as high-pressure tanks, require robust and often heavy containers, which limit their practicality. Advanced solutions like cryogenic storage and novel materials are being explored to mitigate this issue.

Hydrogen, often touted as the "fuel of the future," has immense potential to decarbonize key sectors such as transportation, manufacturing, and energy storage.

AI and ML are pivotal in aiding the development of materials tailored for hydrogen use. These advanced technologies facilitate the rapid assessment and enhancement of both structural and functional materials, which are crucial for the efficiency and sustainability of hydrogen production, transport, and storage processes.

As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced over $3 billion for 25 selected projects across 14 states to boost the domestic production of advanced batteries and battery materials nationwide.

The investments will support a program of equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins launched by China's cabinet in March, the notice said.

Clean energy technologies like solar, wind, electric cars, and heat pumps seem to be reshaping the power that we deploy today in factories, vehicles, home appliances and heating systems.

However, this rapid transition has raised concerns about the stability and reliability of our energy systems. It's already becoming clear that the premature adoption of nascent technologies has led to:

The cessation of fossil fuel use would strand approximately $60 trillion of coal, oil and natural gas resources, depriving the owners of those resources of their profitable sale and depriving the nation of their beneficial use.

AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Bard are known as voracious consumers of electricity and water. More precisely, it is the colossal data centers powering them that are to blame and there are no signs of slowing down.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the US data center electricity consumption will rise from 200 TWh in 2022 to about 260 TWh by 2026 – roughly 6% of US electricity demand – while a study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) puts the number at 7.5% by 2030.

We face a potential future of perpetual subsidies and incentives combined with mandated changes and banned products. This potential future does not include reduced energy costs or increased liberty and freedom.

The lithium-based condensed battery was launched Wednesday at the Auto Shanghai expo, with CATL claiming blockbuster energy density figures "up to 500 Wh/kg.

In April of 2023, CATL announced its "condensed battery" packing over twice the energy density of nearly anything else on the market at an incredible 500 Wh/kg.

Digital infrastructure is being deployed across various layers of the power grid, from transmission to distribution, enabling better management and optimization of electrical systems.
