While the debate between hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) has mostly been settled (BEVs are winning the EV race), are clean vehicle enthusiasts sleeping on ammonia? As local, state, federal government, and supranational agencies are racing against time to reduce greenhouse gases, ammonia is gaining attention as a “green” fuel …

**Note: This is part 2 of the DOE H2 Hubs series The previous post looked at the feedstock of the 7 winning H2 Hubs. This time, we will look at the use cases proposed by these hubs. Collectively, these hubs are expected to produce a collective three million metric tons of hydrogen annually—30% of DOE’s …
All Aboard the Hydrogen Hubs Hype Train The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on Friday announced its selection of 7 much anticipated regional hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs), totalling $7 billion in awards. These hubs are located in various parts of the U.S.—the Appalachia, California, the Gulf Coast, the Northern Great Plains, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, and …
Recently, the Department of Energy (DOE) posted a request for information (RFI) regarding the development of green shipping corridors (GSCs) between the United States and the United Kingdom (DE-FOA-0003156). The purpose of the RFI is to solicit feedback from maritime stakeholders on issues related to the establishment of green shipping corridors between the U.S. and …

Electric vehicles (EVs) have a reputation that they are almost exclusively for well-off households. Both mainstream media and academia have already published numerous articles and studies on that topic. But Doug Casey’s International Man recently published the eponymous article claiming that “the big push for EVs represents something much worse than that.” It claims that …
After two decades of aggressive investments in renewable energy, California leads the United States in renewable energy deployment. Since 2010, however, most of the additional deployment have been concentrated in solar PV followed by land-based wind. In recent years, the Golden State has finally turned its sight on offshore wind. But is it ready? California …

Aviation accounts for 2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Without significant policy intervention, emissions from international aviation could triple in 3 decades. Perhaps this sense of urgency is why Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is getting so much attention lately. Internationally, the multilateral Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is a 3-phase program …

Clean hydrogen is one of the most hyped cleantech of the year (or perhaps the decade) among the energy policy circle. So much so that this week, tons of industry folks, think tanks, economists, and potential end-use customers rushed to submit their comments on the Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstration’s Notice of …
