Green hydrogen is transforming heavy industry through electrolysis technology that uses renewable electricity to produce zero-carbon fuel. Despite cost challenges and project delays, $110 billion in committed investments and operational facilities in Sweden and South Africa prove the technology works at scale, positioning hydrogen to supply 15-25% of industrial energy by 2035.
Scientists have engineered electro-biodiesel—a revolutionary fuel made from CO₂, water, and renewable electricity that achieves 4.5% solar-to-molecule efficiency, 45 times better than soybean biodiesel, with potential for negative emissions. While pilot plants in Dresden and Chile demonstrate feasibility, commercial adoption hinges on solving catalyst degradation, slashing costs from $3/gallon to parity with fossil diesel, and scaling to gigawatt-level production. By 2034, the electrofuel mar...
