From Models to Money: Reflections on a Year of Practical Decarbonization
Before diving into a reflection on the year, it feels important to start with gratitude. None of this work happens in isolation. Over the past year, an extraordinary number of people took the time to share their expertise, challenge my assumptions, correct my mistakes, and patiently help me understand subjects … [continued]

Alstom’s Hydrogen Retreat Marks A Turning Point For European Rail
Alstom’s announcement that it is pausing further development of hydrogen trains has landed with the weight of a company that has been at the center of Europe’s rail innovation story for decades. The firm will still complete existing hydrogen train orders, but R&D work has been halted after France withdrew … [continued]

Why Hydrogen Isn’t Cutting Costs Like Solar or Batteries
After publishing the summary of the study that assessed 2,000 hydrogen projects worldwide, one finding stood out. Across the total spectrum of use cases, electrification provided roughly 80% better emissions reductions than hydrogen. The data also showed that the overall climate benefit of hydrogen, once all losses and logistics were … [continued]

Cutting The Cost Of Green Hydrogen: Say It, Don’t Spray It
A new, low-iridium catalyst aims for a sharp reduction in the cost of green hydrogen, helping to push natural gas and coal out of the hydrogen supply chain.

Plastic Recycling Not Requiring Sorting Could Be Coming
New catalyst could make mixed plastic recycling a reality. The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less complicated, frustrating and tedious. In a new study, Northwestern University chemists have introduced a new plastic upcycling process that can drastically reduce — or perhaps even fully bypass — the laborious … [continued]
