Household energy bills will rise in three years to fund the development of unproven hydrogen gas which may only be used in a fraction of homes, despite concerns it could worsen fuel poverty. Hydrogen, which is made from natural gas and used in heavy industry, can be produced from green electricity or from natural gas or have its emissions captured to make it a cleaner fuel. The Government wants to produce 10Gw of “ low carbon ” hydrogen by 2030 as part of its strategy to boost energy independenc

Summary Companies Production at giant Zohr field has decreased Mazut fuel oil imported to ease power shortage CAIRO, Aug 7( Reuters)-Egypt's natural gas production fell to a three-year low in the first five months of 2023, figures from the Joint Organisations Data Initiative( JODI) show, raising questions about the country's efforts to position itself as a regional energy hub. Currently the country is grappling with power shortages when a heatwave has driven up demand for cooling. Gas production

It is made by converting natural gas and capturing the carbon dioxide emissions.“ We are the biggest adventurers when it comes to blue hydrogen, ” Prince Abdulaziz said at a climate conference in Riyadh on Sunday.... “ We’re putting our money where our mouth is on hydrogen.... Saudi Arabia can make the world’s cheapest green hydrogen, Prince Abdulaziz said on Sunday....

SANTA FE, N.M.--New Mexico’s Democratic governor is seeking legislation to help jump-start hydrogen production from natural gas in her state, a process that generates harmful greenhouse gases but could one day be harnessed to provide environmental benefits. Gov.... This story also has been corrected to say that the governor’s regulation of methane production sites in her state covers drilling sites, not mining sites. ——Attanasio is a corps member for the Associated Press/ Report for America Sta

CLICK TO ENLARGEPETALING JAYA: A continued spike in natural gas prices is likely to fuel stronger exports for Malaysia this month, after the country’s exports hit an all-time high last month. While natural gas contributes only 4% of Malaysia’s exports, the global search for alternative fuels due to the Russian-Ukraine conflict is expected to push the demand for natural gas higher. The conflict in Europe has sparked concerns over crude oil supply as major economies are imposing sanctions on Russi

KUCHING: Piasau Gas Sdn Bhd, which is set to be acquired by Shin Yang Shipping Corp Bhd( Syscorp), plans to build a compressed natural gas( CNG) plant to take advantage of the abundance of Sarawak’s natural gas resources. When built, the plant will compress natural gas into long tube tankers for distribution to various oil palm estates and industrial plants, according to Syscorp director Koh Ek Chong.He said Piasau Gas is currently undertaking a study on the CNG project.“ Piasau Gas has not iden

Excess electricity generated by offshore wind farms could be used to produce hydrogen for use in heating and cars. Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business and Energy Secretary, is preparing to unveil plans to dramatically increase the use of low-carbon hydrogen as part of the country's target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. One option being considered by ministers is subsidising the production of the chemical using excess energy generated by offshore wind farms. The hydrogen strateg

BRUSSELS: Europe is heading toward an energy crisis as the storage of natural gas runs low and a supply shortfall remains worrying, a think tank warns. When an energy crisis comes, gas in storage will deplete rapidly in Europe, the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel said, adding that the natural gas supply balance must be monitored closely in the coming months.As the cold weather sets in, demand for natural gas to heat homes and generate electricity at power plants will grow. Yet there is little

ALGIERS, May 7( Xinhua)--Algerian Energy and Mining Minister Mohamed Arkab said on Saturday that the North African country has" great potential" to become a regional hub of hydrogen production." Preliminary information shows Algeria has great potential, allowing it to play a prominent regional role in this( hydrogen) field, through its vast resources of solar energy and extensive and integrated networks for the transmission of electricity," Arkab said in a speech delivered at the 26th edition of
