Clean hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and feedstock that has the potential to transform and decarbonize many industries. It is created via electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, or by reacting fossil fuels with steam or controlled amounts of oxygen. It can aid decarbonization if it is produced with low- or zero-emission sources.

A new strategy report from an Australian government agency sets out clear steps that could see the country transition to a “hydrogen economy” in the next few decades. The report identifies a plan to achieve a future hydrogen industry in Australia, as well as identifying key challenges and barriers that need to be overcome.

The aviation industry contributes more to global warming because of the climate pollutants it generates. Looking at Klöwer, M. et al's journal paper published in Environmental Research Letters, this article analyzes aviation’s total warming footprint by modeling CO2 and non-CO2 effects.
Looking at Tuholske, C. et al's paper published in the journal PLOS ONE, this article discusses the use of a new high-resolution geospatial model to evaluate and map N and pathogen from human sewage for ~135,000 watersheds around the world.
Numerous strategies have been developed to tackle the growing demand for heating and cooling. SoundEnergy has successfully developed a platform that uses thermoacoustics to generate energy. The thermoacoustic energy converter (THEAC-25) has been developed to convert waste heat into cool air.
