With environmental awareness rising across the globe, renewable energy carriers such as hydrogen are becoming a focus in many areas of research and government policy. Liquid hydrogen offers the highest energy density and purity but requires special storage and transfer procedures to control the molecule and minimize loss. Current efforts to limit hydrogen loss during transfer are essential for global adoption. To achieve this goal, transfer systems must reach a state of zero-loss to maximize efficiency and resource retention. By reducing or eliminating loss, energy costs are reduced to improv ..read more

As we move towards a greener world, hydrogen is emerging as the frontrunner in the world of renewable energy.

Continuing GenH2’s support of STEM to expand educators’ and students’ understanding of the clean energy future, specifically in liquid hydrogen, Dr. Martha Williams, GenH2’s Senior Technology Advisor was a Keynote Speaker at the STEM Carib 2023 conference, November 1-3, 2023. Dr. Williams, a Caymanian by birth, led off the first morning of the conference titled “Game Changer, Time to Level Up” held at the University College of the Cayman Islands with a large group of attendees that included the University president, representative from the Ministry of Education, University professors, teacher ..read more

As the world continues to move towards cleaner energy options, hydrogen’s usefulness as an energy carrier is being more widely recognized. However, for Hydrogen to fully move into the spotlight, new forms of infrastructure are needed to make it more accessible and affordable. One way to speed adoption is to build and leverage distributed hydrogen infrastructure (DHI). Currently, most hydrogen infrastructure is comprised of large, customized systems. Distributed Hydrogen Infrastructure uses smaller, dispersed all-in-one systems to serve localized businesses or individual communities. Using a D ..read more

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA)’s 2023 TRANSform & EXPO Conference was held earlier this month at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The annual APTA conference is the flagship event for public transportation professionals to engage in workshops, experience technical tours, and network with colleagues, and our GenH2 team was proud to attend. Transportation authorities from around the world were in attendance to purchase buses, trains, signage, lighting, and even anti-graffiti-coated surfaces. Keynote speakers and educational sessions explored cut ..read more

Being a key component for life on Earth, water is seen as one of our most precious resources. Its significance lies not only in its ability to sustain life but also in generating energy sources such as hydroelectricity. But with less than 1% of Earth’s water considered clean enough to drink, and even larger areas with limited water access, technologies such as desalination are being used to generate and provide clean water. Desalination removes minerals and salts from seawater to provide fresh drinking water. Large-scale desalination projects capable of running on solar power, are already und ..read more

As hydrogen moves into the spotlight as the clean energy carrier of the future, its added benefits of increased energy density and purity when liquefied are also being noticed. But in order to utilize the full potential of liquid hydrogen’s (LH2) benefits, efficient methods of storing and distributing LH2 are needed. Due to its cryogenic temperatures, LH2 needs to be stored in a specialized system that prevents boiloff in order to preserve its energy. Refrigeration is one of the most influential advancements in the liquid hydrogen economy. Refrigeration and specifically controlled cryogenic r ..read more

Why the purity of hydrogen is important in the advancement of fuel cells. Hydrogen is the key to unlocking a future powered by green energy in the global energy transition. With widespread renewable infrastructure on the horizon, creating systems that produce, liquefy, store, and use hydrogen is imperative to achieving this goal. While there are many ways hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier, the use of hydrogen fuel cells is continuing to gain attention. The hydrogen fuel cell can be used in a wide range of applications, providing power for products across multiple sectors, including tr ..read more

As hydrogen’s role in clean energy continues to grow, many methods of production are being developed to satisfy increasing demand. While trying to meet the growing need, the ultimate goal is to produce the cleanest hydrogen possible, however, the final quality can vary greatly based on the production process. Higher purity levels are ideal for raising the efficiency and lifespan of the machines being fueled. Analyzing the material composition ratios in newly created hydrogen provides a means to measure hydrogen purity and ultimately measure the results of various production processes. Measuri ..read more
