Believe it or not, but the world’s biggest coal port want to change to be a hub for Green Hydrogen!! And that is even in Australia, the biggest producer of coal and one of the biggest emitters of GHG in the world:
What have the Aussies come to, some sort of world saviours??
Well fair dinkum, it is only Newcastle that has gone green. I was getting worried they had all gone wacko…
Western Australia is seeing it’s future as an exporter of green hydrogen:
With the firstLH2 tanker soon on her way to pick up the first load of liquid hydrogen:
But not Green Hydrogen yet. (This can better be described as Brown/Black Hydrogen, since it is extracted from Brown Coal, using power generated from Black Coal…
Norwegian Hydrogen AS can buy an industrial site on Hellesylt that will be used for a hydrogen factory. It was decided by a unanimous municipal council in Stranda.
If a hydrogen factory is built in Rauma, it will be on Marstein. - The probability that the factory will be realized is quite high, says Jens Berge in Norwegian Hydrogen.
The fact that the plant is thought to be located precisely on Marstein has to do with the fact that the village is conveniently located in view of the large amounts of electric power required for the electrolysis process.
PS> This is only two of many plans for green hydrogen production in Norway, base on abundance of cheap hydro electric power and plans for future offshore and onshore wind power.
You can store Methanol in liquid form in 1 atm. and at normal temp. in ordinary tanks,
Using Methanol to Hydrogen Generator you get Hydrogen that can be used in Fuel Cells.
If you start off with Green Methanol you end up with clean water as “exhaust”, resulting in Zero Emission/Zero Pollution energy to propel ships, boats, trucks, or whatever
So the world’s greatest problem is thus solved, right ??
