(Natural News) Hydrogen might just be the fuel of the future. An energy carrier like electricity, it can store tremendous amounts of energy and power places with no access to the power grid. And whether it’s used in a fuel cell or burned to create heat, its only byproducts are clean water and heat. But the “hydrogen […]

(Natural News) A group of researchers from Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan led by Professor Yuji Iwamoto collaborated with researchers from France to successfully demonstrate how a novel membrane allows highly selective separation of hydrogen gas generated from the photoelectrochemical (PEC) reaction. “Membrane separation is attractive as a low-cost hydrogen gas purification technology. However, current […]

(Natural News) Many European steel, cement and petrochemicals companies are exploring hydrogen to reduce their carbon footprints and meet emissions deadlines set by the European Union (EU). But many roadblocks such as the lack of hydrogen infrastructure may stall goals of decarbonizing “heavy” industry and ushering in the “hydrogen economy,” according to a report last week from the Financial Times. EU companies […]

(Natural News) NextEra Energy will use solar power from its principal subsidiary Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL) to produce green hydrogen through a 20-megawatt electrolysis system. The hydrogen will then be used to replace some of the natural gas burned at FPL’s Okeechobee Clean Energy Center in Florida. Unlike blue hydrogen, which is created […]

(Natural News) Renewed efforts around the world to reduce carbon emissions have boosted the demand for platinum in the automotive industry. Hydrogen-fuel-cell technology is expected to play an important role in reducing global carbon emissions. This technology relies on platinum, which can withstand higher temperatures than other metals. Fuel cells need platinum for the catalyst that separates hydrogen into […]

(Natural News) There’s no question about it, smoking is bad for your health (and our environment). More than six trillion cigarettes are smoked each day, creating 800 metric tons of cigarette butt waste. These environmental eyesores are costing us our planet, and are making its way into waterways and bodies of water, poisoning humans and […]
