A floating test platform that uses sea water, air, and wind to make completely clean hydrogen has begun operations off Germany's North Sea coast. The modular system also has a few other green-energy tricks up its sleeve.
-
China has just unveiled two turbines so massive it's hard to comprehend. With an outer diameter of 20 ft, 5 in (6.2 m), each turbine weighs 80 tons, is constructed from high-strength martensitic steel, and houses 21 water ladles.

NYC will soon be getting its own personal offshore wind farm. The Empire Wind 1 project has received a $3 billion project financing package and is expected to go online in 2027, powering roughly half a million borough residents. But what's the catch?
-
Taking a leaf out of the plant book, scientists have used a method not unlike photosynthesis to harness the power of sunlight and turn two destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized chemicals for renewable fuel and greener manufacturing.
-
In another instance of AI making itself genuinely useful, researchers at the University of Toronto have identified a better catalyst for the production of green hydrogen using AI – saving themselves years in experimentation.
-
Researchers at Switzerland's ETH Zurich have devised a cheap and safe way to store hydrogen in ordinary steel-walled containers for months without losing it into the atmosphere – using iron.
