Ørsted aims to invest in ‘green hydrogen’ pilot projects
Orsted and two partners secured funding in August from the British government for a “green hydrogen” project. Hydrogen gas has long been seen as a potential alternative to fossil fuels as it emits water when burned, not CO2, the greenhouse gas emitted by coal, oil and natural gas. But making hydrogen from water by electrolysis, … Continue reading Ørsted aims to invest in ‘green hydrogen’ pilot projects

Hydrogen, an important step towards independence from fossil fuels
Wind power and solar energy is expected to provide the largest contribution to the EU renewable energy targets for 2030 and beyond. At least 32 per cent of total energy consumption in the sectors of electricity, heat and transport shall be covered by renewable energy – in ten years’ time. Since renewable energy faces some … Continue reading Hydrogen, an important step towards independence from fossil fuels
