Hydrogen

University researchers in Austria have rekindled the latest fervor for the long-sought “hydrogen economy” driven by the eventual harnessing of a potentially inexhaustible energy source and existing natural gas infrastructure.

Nearly half of the natural gas used in transportation in California last year was renewable natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, and the overall volumes of fuel for natural gas vehicles (NGV) have been increasing at the rate of 250% annually for the past three years, according to a recent report from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Natural gas is often called a “bridge fuel” to cleaner energy production, but a researcher in the Netherlands believes that natural gas pipelines can be a bridge for the renewable gas hydrogen.

The Agriculture Department’s U.S. Forest Service has issued a record of decision (ROD) designating energy corridors in the West as preferred locations for oil and natural gas production, hydrogen pipelines and electricity transmission and distribution lines.

Westcoast reported completing repairs to the #10 sulfur train at its Fort Nelson Gas Plant and lifted the associated 5% Firm H2S (hydrogen sulfide) Overproduction Charge constraint at the start of Thursday’s gas day.

The four federal agencies preparing to designate energy corridors on Federal lands in 11 Western States for electricity transmission and oil, natural gas and hydrogen pipelines Friday released a map showing preliminary corridors.

BP plc, with long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets in place and plans to invest $8 billion in solar, wind, hydrogen and other clean-energy technologies in the next 10 years, received top scores among 100 companies that are working to develop climate-friendly technologies, according to Ceres, a Boston-based investor coalition.
