Industrial Decarbonization
Decarbonizing the Public Sector: A Key, Overnight Step Towards Combating Climate Change
Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges we face today. To mitigate its impact, it is crucial for all sectors of society to take action, including the public sector. Decarbonizing the public sector is a vital step towards achieving net zero carbon emissions and addressing climate change effectively. Roles in Decarbonizing the […]
Decarbonizing Industrial Processes: Moving Towards a Low-Carbon Future
The modern way of life and economic growth is heavily dependent on products from three primary heavy industries: chemicals, steel, and cement. While these industries produce diverse products, they are energy-intensive and generate massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from heavy industries is necessary to avoid the devastating […]
Methane Pyrolysis
Clean Hydrogen From Natural Gas
Every year, we see the impact of global warming becoming greater. Every year we seem to have record high temperatures, droughts, wildfires, increasingly more powerful hurricanes and floods. This puts stress on our energy infrastructure to withstand all these events. In the face of these challenges, people are looking for energy solutions that can be […]
Integrating Hydrogen into Existing Building Heating Operations
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 […]
Utility Hydrogen
6 Steps to Achieve Negative Emissions with RNG
Using renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas to produce hydrogen via methane pyrolysis and achieve negative emissions involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Biogas Production: Organic waste (e.g., agricultural waste, food waste, sewage sludge) undergoes anaerobic digestion in a biodigester. This process breaks down the organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas. […]
What Hydrogen Future Can We Expect?
Many in the green technology industry see hydrogen as the key to a greener and more environmentally friendly future. A future that does not see us giving up driving, flying, or even manufacturing steel. However, in a world that’s heating up, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, can we do enough in the time […]

What Hydrogen Future Can We Expect?
Many in the green technology industry see hydrogen as the key to a greener and more environmentally friendly future. A future that does not see us giving up driving, flying, or even manufacturing steel. However, in a world that’s heating up, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, can we do enough in the time […]
Best Hydrogen Colors For The Environment
Many experts today point to hydrogen as the ultimate clean energy source. However, the cleanliness of this fuel boils down to how the hydrogen is sourced, produced, and extracted. While the gas itself is invisible, a widely used system of hydrogen colors as codes helps to identify and describe how hydrogen was produced and the […]
Distributed Hydrogen
The Future Is On-site Hydrogen Generation
Many see the future of hydrogen as a fuel rooted in the ability to generate it on-site. That’s partly because transporting and storing hydrogen today is expensive and challenging. The good news is that new technologies are already making it possible to generate hydrogen from conventional natural gas and renewable natural gas derived from biomass. […]
Hydrogen’s Growing Role in Washington’s Decarbonization Strategy
In Washington, turquoise hydrogen should emerge as a front-runner in the state’s ambitious decarbonization efforts. The state of Washington is a leading champion of clean energy. 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 […]
Carbon Capture And Sequestration
Melting Points: The Asphalt Dilemma with Rising Temperatures
As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, a less talked about yet significant concern is emerging—the interaction between asphalt, rising temperatures, and the ensuing environmental and infrastructural challenges. With cities experiencing more days with temperatures soaring above 95°F, the traditional composition and utilization of asphalt is scrutinized. How do rising temperatures […]
Is Natural Gas Carbon Footprint Significant?
Many people may refer to natural gas as the cleanest of all fossil fuels we use. Perhaps that’s why it is responsible for producing a significant portion of the world’s electricity. However, it is a fossil fuel, and like all fossil fuels, it has a carbon footprint. So, the question is: how much of a […]
