Distributed Hydrogen Production: Why It’s the Future of Clean Energy

Hydrogen on the periodic table

Distributed hydrogen production can replace humankind’s insatiable energy consumption with a clean, renewable, and distributed solution that houses the power of the universe. Every second, our planet takes a gulp of energy equivalent to exploding 4 atomic bombs. It’s quite a visual, isn’t it? Let’s end that. Welcome to the world of distributed hydrogen. Just as […]

Experts believe turquoise hydrogen could herald a major shift in the state’s energy dynamics, leveraging Washington’s distinctive resources and policy approach. Hydrogen as Energy in Washington A closer look […]

The Many Uses of Hydrogen in a Clean Energy Future

About 85,000 gallons a day of cow manure and food waste flow into the pit at Werkhoeven Dairy in Monroe, Washington. The digester captures methane that powers a generator, producing enough renewable energy for nearly 700 homes. This is an example of one of the uses of hydrogen that can come from RNG.

It is key to understand the potential uses of hydrogen as it continues to gain recognition as a clean and versatile fuel with a wide range of applications. As we strive towards a decarbonized future, hydrogen offers numerous benefits as a sustainable low-emissions alternative. Hydrogen is an important clean fuel and serves a number of […]

Hydrogen Generation Behind The Meter: What You Can Accomplish

Hydrogen Production will be behind the meter

The energy sector is evolving away from traditional power generation and distribution. This transition has been escalating over the last decade. While traditionally, all grid-tied systems have been located in front of the meter, an increasing number of new systems are behind the meter. Many experts predict that the future of energy and power generation, […]

Now more than ever, energy policy discussions are taking center stage in the United States and Europe. As countries explore phasing out their reliance on fossil fuels and embracing the use of renewable energy sources in heating buildings, innovative communities are looking to explore alternatives. Hydrogen is gaining a lot of attention primarily because it […]

On-Site Hydrogen Blending: a Step Towards Hydrogen Adoption Now

divider NATURAL GAS HYDROGEN

Recently, US scientists presented research into using hydrogen blended with methane (natural gas) to bridge the energy gap and achieve carbon neutrality. Many industrial operators see the strategy as being a first step towards the US meeting its net-zero emissions target without having to compromise on energy security. It is worth mentioning that most existing, […]

It is no longer front-page news that most of the world’s energy supply is derived from fossil fuels that emit carbon and greenhouse gasses when used in power generation and heating. Various methods of decarbonization are currently being leveraged, including replacing energy from natural gasses with energy from hydrogen. Hydrogen has been used for decades […]

On-Site Pyrolysis and Renewable Energy

divider HYDROGEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY 1520x402 1 1

Technically pyrolysis is defined as the thermal degradation of material at a high temperature in the absence of oxygen gas. The resulting byproducts of this degradation are condensate (water/tar) and non-condensable gasses. If the feedstock is biomass, then the byproducts can also include biochar. The proportions for each of these byproducts mainly depend on the […]

The Future Is Distributed Clean Hydrogen
