Vattenfall THE EDIT #4 - Hydrogen
Your monthly briefing on the journey to fossil freedom
Hello! Today: Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and widely used in industry. It is finding its way into innovative applications, and the increasing fossil-free production of hydrogen gas creates great opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. Plus: Why is model and actress Cara Delevingne spraying industrial emissions on her face?
5 ways to reduce carbon emissions with hydrogen?
What to know: Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, has the potential to replace fossil fuels in various sectors, leading to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. However, accelerating its production and utilisation requires collaboration and overcoming challenges in storage and infrastructure.?
Why it matters: Hydrogen holds the key to a fossil-free future, presenting opportunities to reduce carbon emissions across industries. Collaboration, overcoming challenges, and embracing hydrogen's diverse applications are crucial for its successful adoption and positive environmental impact.
Accelerating away with hydrogen in the tank
Moving forward. Hydrogen can be used as the power source for cars, trucks, ships and aircrafts. Using fossil-free hydrogen in the tank, the various engine technologies have one thing in common – sustainability.
Why Cara Delevingne is spraying industrial emissions on her face
Behind the scenes. In an unusual move for an energy company, Vattenfall is launching a conventional beauty campaign to raise awareness of hydrogen as a solution to carbon emissions. Get the story behind the collaboration with model Cara Delevingne.
Growing fleet of fuel cell electric vehicles in Europe
领英推荐
Steady rise. The annual number of new fuel cell electric vehicles, FCEVs, in the EU jumped from less than 100 in 2014 to almost 2,500 in 2021, and Germany is leading the race in new registrations.?
Vattenfall goes the extra mile for dolphins in Denmark?
What: Monopiles for new wind turbines in the North Sea were hammered into the seabed using a hydro sound damper system deployed around the pile to absorb noise. Extra noise measurements were carried out, and the dolphins’ behaviour monitored.?
Why: Concerns had been raised that the installation could cause a small pod of dolphins to leave the area. Vattenfall wanted to make sure that the applied measures protected them. The dolphins have neither left the area nor changed behaviour.?
