How hydrogen is produced matters. The good news is that green hydrogen production is on the rise, and costs are falling as technologies continue to improve. Here, we take a closer look at green hydrogen, how it's made and its role in the low-carbon transition.
The Biden-Harris Administration, through the US Department of Energy (DOE), has announced $750m for research and development efforts related to reducing the cost of clean hydrogen.
Constellation Energy Company has started up a 1MW demonstration-scale, nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility at its Nine Mile Point plant in Oswego, New York.
The European Commission has approved Berlin's plans to subsidize BASF efforts to produce green hydrogen in Ludwigshafen. The chemical industry uses hydrogen in bulk, but it's expensive and carbon-intensive at present.
