Description
Hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen produced using renewable energy, is gaining momentum as a clean energy solution. However, the lack of scalable storage options has hindered its widespread adoption. In a new study, researchers suggest using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes in lakes and reservoirs as a cost-effective method for hydrogen storage, potentially revolutionizing the energy sector.

ExxonMobil has signed the largest offshore carbon dioxide (CO2) storage lease in the U.S. with the Texas General Land Office (GLO), covering over 271,000 acres. This site enhances ExxonMobil's CO2 storage portfolio and solidifies the Gulf Coast's leadership in carbon capture and storage (CCS). The agreement will also benefit the Texas Permanent School Fund, supporting education and local community development.
Toyota will present cutting-edge technologies at the Japan Mobility Bizweek 2024, including portable hydrogen cartridges for daily use and a GR Corolla race car powered by liquid hydrogen. They will also showcase their Sweep energy storage system, which uses recycled batteries from electrified vehicles. These innovations promote hydrogen and renewable energy management, supporting a carbon-neutral, sustainable future.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has invested $29 million in projects aimed at advancing carbon capture and conversion technologies. This initiative supports the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of achieving a carbon-neutral power sector by 2035. The selected projects will leverage innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change.
Researchers from the University of Oxford have discovered that rising temperatures in the Canadian Arctic will speed up rock weathering, releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere. This process could create a feedback loop that accelerates climate change. Lead author Dr. Ella Walsh highlighted the importance of understanding this, especially in regions like the Arctic, where temperatures are warming much faster than the global average.
A team from NETL and academia showcased IDAES’s role in advancing clean energy. The framework optimizes decarbonization, hydrogen production, and industrial energy systems. A recent study demonstrated how IDAES uses machine learning to improve control systems through reinforcement learning.
