🚨 #BEWARE #SMDH 2/2 NOTE: yes, @newhydrogen filed a patent application that we'll see in a year, but they are touting "machine learning-driven material discovery". This means they are predicting PROCESS PERFORMANCE without knowing any CHEMISTRY details!! #hydrogen #H2

🚨 #BEWARE #SMDH 1/2 NewHydrogen makes it look like they can get clean, green hydrogen from coal or oil power plants with their ThermoLoop process!⬇️ This is IMPOSSIBLE, 'cuz fossil fuels! And don't wait for anything to be done to @newhydrogen about these misleading statements.
NewHydrogen unveils that heat from existing and future power plants can power its ThermoLoop™ process — turning waste heat into #cleanhydrogen and redefining energy efficiency. #HydrogenNews #EnergyTransition #Innovation

. This solar farm in Kosovo uses sheep to mow the grass by World Economic Forum The solar farm has 12,000 photovoltaic panels. Cutting the grass around them can be tricky & time-consuming so the farm has hit on a more natural method #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #renewables

#HydrogenSafety Follow-up on SK Energy's Ulsan refinery explosion: 2nd person dies. 🔥If the @h2_view story is true↙️, not just residual hydrogen leaked & exploded when pipeline was opened, but #H2 gas supply was not isolated! #SOP must include a double block-and-bleed! ↘️
Residual hydrogen ignited during maintenance at the Ulsan refinery, causing an explosion, killing two workers and prompting a criminal investigation into potential safety lapses. https://t.co/C8hNENNgfa

A hydrogen-powered shunting locomotive is not using a #hydrogen fuel cell, but fueling a modified diesel internal combustion engine with #H2. No mention of whether the engine meets NOx emissions with or without a catalytic converter, or if it has an R&D experimental exemption!

As @tixhonjm says, a single picture is very powerful.↙️ This screen grab↘️ shows the root cause of the 23May2019 Gangneung, South Korea #hydrogen explosion that killed 2: O2 pressure > H2 pressure, so any electrolyzer leak was O2 into H2. 6% O2 in the H2 storage tank exploded!
#HydrogenSafety 🇰🇷2025Mar31 Korea Supreme Court: +10B won US$6.8MM damages award for 2019 Gangneung hydrogen explosion: killed 2 injured 6. 1) No oxygen monitor on hydrogen gas 2) Unqualified incompetent company was in charge! Conclusion: use qualified people who know #H2 safety

Why do they use a stock “lab toy” image of a low temperature (80°C) PEM fuel cell in a story about a protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC) #hydrogen #fuelcell that operates at ∼400–600°C? #H2

Hey @ITMPowerPLC , is your €50MM cost for the 50 MW Alpha plant the installed cost, or just the hardware cost?
