France’s €520/Ton CO₂ Problem: Hydrogen Is Too Expensive For Transport
At €520 per ton of CO₂ avoided, France’s hydrogen expenditures audit, Final Observations: Support for the Development of Decarbonized Hydrogen (translation by computer), reveals a stark economic reality, that decarbonized hydrogen produced via electrolysis remains stubbornly uneconomic, relying heavily on layers of public subsidies. This cost of abatement significantly exceeds … [continued]

Why Shipping’s Low-Carbon Future Relies More on Batteries & Biofuels Than Methanol
Maritime shipping, responsible for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, stands at an unprecedented turning point. As we progress toward mid-century, decarbonization is no longer optional but mandatory, driven by stringent international regulations, including the International Maritimate Organization’s recent fuel carbon pricing decision and corporate sustainability commitments. This requirement … [continued]
