In the UK, a team of researchers from university Manchester received a grant EPSRC on a joint project with Powerhouse Energy Group (PHE) on the development of a new technology for obtaining green hydrogen from synthesis gas.
This is expected to help the country reach 5 GW of installed capacity by 2030, Proactive reports about it.
PHE Chief Operating Officer Paul Emmitt said the project will bring the company closer to overcoming significant cost barriers through innovation to deliver a new generation of green energy technologies.
"The pioneering technology, if commercialized, will enable the faster deployment of low-carbon hydrogen. The project has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of extracting hydrogen from syngas," he said.
Research team leader Amir Cashmiri, Associate Professor of Computational Fluid Dynamics at the university, said the collaboration would allow the University of Manchester to be at the forefront of developing high-performance, game-changing technologies in the emerging clean hydrogen energy sector.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Australia, scientists from the University of Melbourne developed the technology production of high-purity hydrogen (99%) from air, the minimum humidity of which should reach 4%. This could open up the possibility of hydrogen production in semi-arid regions that have the highest potential for solar and wind energy.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in the USA Midwest Hydrogen Coalition, consisting of 7 states, seeks to produce and use H2 for several decarbonization purposes, including trucks, cargo ships, and Great Lakes ferries.
