Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Green hydrogen production via electrolysis has emerged as a key technology in the search for sustainable energy solutions. It involves splitting water into its constituents, hydrogen and oxygen. Traditional electrolyzers rely on precious metal catalysts like platinum and iridium. Although both are effective, they are also costly and scarce.
Are cobalt catalysts an option for green hydrogen production? Read More »
Green hydrogen is the theoretical gold standard for sustainable fuel. It’s earmarked as the ideal pathway for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors like cement, chemical, and steel refining. Yet the technology remains in its infancy, with significant barriers to large-scale implementation. Currently, a mere 1% of hydrogen production qualifies as “green”. Grey hydrogen produced using fossil fuel-driven

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] By producing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, ultimately totaling 34-36.8 billion tonnes of CO2 every year, the planet is being endangered. About 45% of this CO2 is from fossil fuels, with estimates being made that fossil fuels have been responsible for at least 67% of the Earth’s rise in temperature.

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) within the atmosphere is affecting the planet. It has been estimated that from the year 1751, the amount of CO2 globally produced has been above 1.5 trillion tonnes. Limiting the amount of greenhouse gas that is created, for instance from fossil fuels, must
Our emissions are impacting the world. As we move through our day-to-day lives it can be difficult to see how these gasses affect the planet. But the rising temperatures speak for themselves. In fact, carbon dioxide (CO₂) makes up about 76% of the amount of pollutants that are produced. Carbon recycling can help with these
