JCB’s return to the Bonneville Salt Flats with a hydrogen-powered streamliner is being framed as a motorsport story, but the more interesting read for the energy sector is what sits behind it: a £100 million bet that hydrogen combustion can scale into mainstream heavy industry, and a clear signal about where engineering talent and supply […]
Europe’s push for green hydrogen is gathering pace, but a new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has identified a constraint that many policymakers have overlooked: local water supply. Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis — splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity — and while the process is climate-friendly, large-scale […]
As the global energy system moves toward decarbonisation, attention is increasingly shifting beyond tailpipe emissions to the full environmental impact of clean fuels across their entire lifecycle. Technologies such as green hydrogen, green ammonia and synthetic electrofuels are central to this transition — but their true sustainability depends on how they are produced, monitored and […]
Hydrogen is widely seen as a cornerstone of the global energy transition — particularly for sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry, shipping and aviation. Yet despite growing ambition, progress remains uneven. Emissions are still high, costs remain a challenge, and large-scale deployment is slower than hoped. This article explores the current […]
London-based hydrogen technology company Supercritical Solutions has signed a non-exclusive collaboration agreement with Shell Global Solutions International B.V., marking a key step in the development of its next-generation electrolyser technology. The agreement centres on a paid feasibility study designed to support planning for a future pilot-scale demonstration. This work will include performance analysis, process safety […]
Yesterday, our CTO James Jordan and Principal Scientist Santanu Ray attended the Third Royce Hydrogen Conference at the Aerospace Integration Research Centre (AIRC), Royce at Cranfield University. The event, hosted by the Henry Royce Institute, brought together leaders from academia and industry to explore translational solutions for materials challenges across the hydrogen value chain—from production […]
A new paper published in the Wiley Online Library explores how Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology could play a key role in large-scale hydrogen storage and transport. The article reviews current project developments and offers insights into the future outlook for this emerging field, which is vital for enabling a sustainable energy transition. Read […]
