Clean Hydrogen for $1.50/kg Could Promote Significant Decarbonization. What Will It Take to Get There with Renewable Electricity?
Hydrogen produced for $1.50/kg could be the most competitive decarbonization option for a significant fraction of global energy demand. What will it take to get to that cost point for clean hydrogen produced from renewable electricity? Likely it will require monumental improvements in technology if we use only surplus renewable…

Geologic Storage is Permanent: An FAQ with Bruce Hill
Carbon capture technologies are essential tools to reduce today’s industrial CO₂ emissions, providing a transition pathway from fossil fuels to zero-carbon energy alternatives being developed today as well as to remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. In order for carbon capture to be effective, storage of those captured emissions must…
