Improving Sustainable Hydrogen Production From Green Waste
September 16, 2021Bio-hydrogen production via dark fermentation of low-value waste is a potent and simple mean of recovering energy, maximizing the harvesting of reducing equivalents to produce the cleanest fuel amongst renewables. Here, an alternative application of green wastes, low-value compost and intermediate products (partially composted but unsuitable for completing … Continue reading
Green Hydrogen, Spaceship Earth, and a Circular Economy
December 2020Based on a review of the literature, researchers synthesize some aspects which represent in their understanding the essence of the circular economy concept. While in no way intended to be absolute, definitive and final, these aspects represent a level of understanding of the concept at this specific moment.
Societal Consequences to the Transition to Green Hydrogen
July 15, 2021The need for green hydrogen is likely to require massive expansion of renewable energy plants. Researchers have identified a gap between political action, technological developments, and expertise from the social sciences and humanities as the world transitions from fossil fuels to green hydrogen. They argue that the respective … Continue reading
