The Biden Administration hopes to create a commercial nuclear fusion facility within 10 years as part of the nation’s transition to clean energy.They aim to harness fusion as a carbon-free energy source that can power homes and businesses one day.Fusion works by pressing hydrogen atoms into each other with such force that they combine into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy and heat. Unlike other nuclear reactions, it doesn’t create radioactive waste. Proponents of nuclear fusion hope it could one day displace fossil fuels and other traditional energy sources. But producing carbon-free energy that powers homes and businesses from fusion is still decades away.https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-n

India's top oil firm Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has unveiled the nation's first green hydrogen-powered bus that emits

Adelaide-based Sparc is prototype testing its photocatalytic reactor technology to split water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen molecules at CSIRO’s Energy Centre in Newcastle, New South WalesThe photocatalytic water splitting technology is expected to deliver cost and flexibility advantages over green hydrogen projects that use electrolysers or solar farms, given the lower infrastructure and energy requirements.Sparc executive chair Stephen Hunt said this is “a world leading demonstration of photocatalytic water splitting in a concentrated solar field"https://www.innovationaus.com/adelaide-uni-fortsecue-hydrogen-venture-starts-testing-prototype/

Industrial processes typically produce a lot of heat. This heat can be captured and re-used to reduce overall energy consumption with readily available technology such as heat pumps. However, industrial heat has not typically played a part in green hydrogen production. A new process to be trialled at BlueScope's Port Kembla Steelworks will seek to prove a new tubular solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) technology from CSIRO can reduce electricity demand by 30% compared to conventional green hydrogen production processes. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2023/August/Hadean

Hysata believes it has developed an electrolyser more efficient than any other on the market. Now it's taking its technology to the next level and scaling up to 5MW. To put that in context, Australia's largest operational electrolyser at present is the 1.25MW unit at Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA). If successful, Hysata hope to produce 20 x 5MW electrolysers per year, or roughly 100 megawatts worth of generation capacity. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-15/hysata-begins-building-worlds-most-efficient-electrolyser/102729908
