BEIJING (BLOOMBERG) - Chinese companies spent 10 years aggressively maneuvering to become the dominant players in solar power. Now they're seeking to lead the way in developing the next big thing in clean energy: hydrogen. Top solar manufacturers including Longi Green Energy Technology are ramping up the production of electrolysers, the equipment needed to make green hydrogen, the cleanest form of the fuel. They are accelerating investments on a bet that a market will boom as industries and consumers switch to lower-carbon fuels. To come out in front in the global hydrogen race, Chinese companies are following the same playbook used to dominate solar - slashing prices and production costs, dramatically increasing installations and accelerating the development of new technologies. "In the solar supply chain, Longi played the role of leading the industry's progress with technology," said Mr Wang Yingge, deputy general manager of Longi's hydrogen energy technology unit. "In hydrogen equipment, Longi will continue to focus on and invest heavily on research and development." Longi plans to build 1.5 gigawatts of production capacity of electrolysers by the end of next year, up from 500 m...

LONDON, Apr 26, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Rowan Energy has launched a new and leading global solar incentive programme; Rowan Rewards. The platform gives customers reward points similar to other loyalty programs for the energy produced by their roof top solar. Since the end of the feed-in tariff in 2019, there has been no financial incentive to adopt solar technology. Rowan however aims to change this by bringing carbon offsetting and blockchain together enabling greater environmental and financial rewards to its customers. The UK-based energy start-up passionately believes in making renewable energy production equally as valuable to its producers as it is for the environment.Right now, potential solar customers can earn a maximum 5.5p per kilowatt hour (kWh) for the electricity produced by the solar panels on their roof. This means, depending on your solar supplier, that it could take up to thirty years to get a return on investment, which is longer than the panels are expected to last.Rowan Energy residential customers can currently enjoy returns of up to 15.5p per kWh with the capacity for this figure to grow in future. Potentially bringing them profits on their solar investment i...

TOKYO, Feb 10, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) today announced that it has invested in C-Zero, a hard tech startup located in Santa Barbara, Calif., to accelerate the first commercial-scale deployment of C-Zero's drop-in decarbonization technology, which will allow industrial natural gas consumers to avoid producing CO2 in applications like electrical generation, process heating and the production of commodity chemicals like hydrogen and ammonia. The investment has been executed through Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc.C-Zeros technology uses innovative thermocatalysis to split methane the primary molecule in natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon in a process known as methane pyrolysis. The hydrogen can be used to help decarbonize a wide array of existing applications, including hydrogen production for fuel cell vehicles, while the carbon can be permanently sequestered. When renewable natural gas is used as the feedstock, C-Zero's technology can even be carbon negative, effectively extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and permanently storing it in the form of high-density solid carbon.With the investment, MHI continues to streng...
