Antwerp is the second most important harbor in Europe behind Rotterdam.

Here in Belgium, we really think hydrogen will be an important matter in the future energy transition.

On the australian stock market, I found an interesting junior in the hydrogen sector.

energy density of a battery, 280Wh/kg

energy density of hydrogen, 33 300Wh/kg

Batteries to move planes and big ships, forget it.....

Don't know the volume of a 1 kg battery, but 1 kg of hydrogen at 700 bar (over 10,000 PSI) would take a 25 liter tank, which I don't know would weigh how much. Just sayin'.

So, at 700 bar, which is 700 times normal atmospheric pressure, hydrogen has a density of 42 kg/m3, compared with 0.090 kg/m3 under normal pressure and temperature conditions. At this pressure, 5 kg of hydrogen can be stored in a 125-liter tank.

Under pressure
The easiest way to decrease the volume of a gas, at constant temperatures, is to increase its pressure.

So, at 700 bar, which is 700 times normal atmospheric pressure, hydrogen has a density of 42 kg/m3, compared with 0.090 kg/m3 under normal pressure and temperature conditions. At this pressure, 5 kg of hydrogen can be stored in a 125-liter tank.

Today, most car manufacturers have opted for the solution that consists in storing hydrogen in the gaseous form, at high pressure. This technology enables us to store enough hydrogen to allow a car that runs on a fuel cell battery to cover between 500 and 600 km between fill-ups.

"Urgent action is needed on climate change, which is why we have accelerated our efforts to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050," the spokesperson said, adding that Shell was investing "billions of dollars in low-carbon energy, including electric vehicle charging, hydrogen, renewables and biofuels".

Table 2: Seven signposts of scale-uptoward a hydrogen economyEventEffect

1) Net-zero climate targets are legislatedMakes it clear that the hard-to-abate sectors will need to decarbonize

2) Standards governing hydrogen use are harmonized and regulatory barriers removedClears or minimizes obstructions to hydrogen projects

3) Targets with investment mechanisms are introducedProvides a revenue stream for producers, increases competition, builds capacity and experience, and gives equipment manufacturers confidence to invest in plant

4) Stringent heavy transport emissions standards are setProvides an incentive for manufactures to produce, and usersto buy, fuel cell trucks and ammonia-powered ships

5) Mandates and markets for low-emission products are formedProvides an incentive for manufacturers to produce low-emission goods (e.g. steel, cement, fertilizers, plastics) that will often require the use of hydrogen

6) Industrial decarbonization policies and incentives are put in placeHelps to coordinate infrastructure investment and scale efficient use of hydrogen. Provides incentives for hydrogen use

7) Hydrogen-ready equipment becomescommonplaceEnables and reduces the cost of fuel switching to hy

Here in Europe, Nel is considered as the top in hydrogen electrolysers production.

ITM is another electrolyzer producer, they follow the same trajectory. It seems a new trend has begun in hydrogen sector with a pullback.

We have been looking at few plays in the sector. We have been waiting for the patterns to improve on many of the plays. It appears that some of the candidates we have been looking at our finally putting in patterns where it might be worth taking a bite

Cool, I wonder which companies you have selected.....

Curcumin — the substance in turmeric — and gold nanoparticles have been combined to create an electrode that requires 100 times less energy than hydrogen to efficiently convert ethanol into electricity.

According to researchers at the Clemson Nanomaterials Institute and the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, of all the catalysts for alcohol oxidation in alkaline medium that exist, the one they prepared is the best so far.

Thus, their finding paves the way for replacing hydrogen as fuel cell feedstock.

Hydrogen fuel cells are highly efficient and do not produce greenhouse gases.

In that search, Ventrapragada and his colleagues focused on the fuel cell’s anode, where the ethanol – or other feed sources – is oxidized.

Fuel cells widely use platinum as a catalyst. But in addition to being costly, platinum suffers from poisoning because of reaction intermediates such as carbon monoxide.

The researchers, thus, used gold as a catalyst and instead of using conducting polymers, metal-organic frameworks, or other complex materials to deposit the gold on the surface of the electrode, they employed curcumin.

Curcumin was used to decorate the gold nanoparticles to stabilize them, forming a porous network around the nanoparticles. The scientists, then, deposited the curcumin gold nanoparticle on the surface of the electrode at a 100 times lower electric current than in previous studies.

Without the curcumin coating, the gold nanoparticles agglomerate, cutting down on the surface area exposed to the chemical reaction.

Disclosure: I liberally consume tumeric, along with a host of other spices and substances, in my Ninjedi shakes, on an almost daily basis, and have been doing so for many years, in order to be strong man, not little girl who doesn't know how to use big kettlebell.

Adding curcumin to the Tumeric mix adds more of a punch. But the two ultimate supplements are still MB and Mumio for the incredibly fast results and host of benefits they provide
