Hydrogen is becoming the most preferred fuel in the aviation and shipping industry. Sri Lanka having key ports in the south Indian Ocean needs to restructure its bunkering and aviation fuel storage facilities to cater to future fuel needs. Hydrogen could be generated using many ways. However, as a country, Sri Lanka needs to employ the most feasible means of generating hydrogen. The prospective use of electrolysis and Steam reformer technologies are at the forefront in the ease of adaptability of the same for Sri Lanka. Hydrogen storage is the most challenging sector and commonly used method to store cryogenically in a liquid form. Low temperatures are required to stop the liquid hydrogen from boiling off back into a gas and the industry faces a lot of challenges with hydrogen storage. This public lecture expects to cover the hydrogen generation in Sri Lanka and the challenges in making Sri Lanka Hydrogen Ready by 2030

Thermocyclic Ammonia Production: A Sustainable Path for Hydrogen Storage and Transport

A Deep Dive into Thermocyclic Ammonia Production Introduction Thermocyclic ammonia production represents an innovative approach in energy storage and transport, positioning ammonia as an efficient hydrogen carrier. This process envisions a cyclical system where ammonia is synthesized, transported, and later decomposed back into nitrogen and hydrogen, enabling it to function

Transforming Carbon Emissions into Valuable Resources: Harnessing Green Hydrogen for Methane and Methanol Production

Introduction As the global push for decarbonization intensifies, converting captured carbon into valuable resources has gained traction as an effective strategy for emissions reduction. The integration of green hydrogen in transforming carbon dioxide (CO₂) into synthetic fuels like methane and methanol is a promising development. This process involves the use

Opportunities for Hydrogen Production with CCUS in China: Path to Carbon Neutrality

As the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, China faces enormous pressure to decarbonize its economy while sustaining rapid economic growth. In its ambitious quest to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone of China's energy transition. However, the majority of China's
