If you find an easier way to store ammonia, you've found an easier way to store hydrogen - three of them in every molecule of ammonia.
That's what researchers in Japan have done by discovering a way to store ammonia at room tempera…https://t.co/UY7uhudwdp https://t.co/gPJSF1GjbX

Making hydrogen cheap and commonplace....
That's what we need to do for hydrogen to take its place in decarbonization and achieve our climate goals
And that's where innovation comes in
Here's one promising effort:

What does hydrogen have to do with the price of oil?
Interesting question.
Hydrogen is an important input in the production of oil.
It's used to remove sulfur (desulfurization), remove water and other impurities (hydrotreating), an…https://t.co/NGQyXpELFK https://t.co/eySeGjuzqt

What's the biggest challenge for clean hydrogen today?
That's the most asked question I get, and the answer is demand...long term contracts to buy what we producers produce.
Now here comes our U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)...

Mining for hydrogen
All of a sudden we are hearing about discoveries of naturally occurring reservoirs of hydrogen
Why now
Because we weren't looking for it before
The hunt is on in Australia which seems to be rich in naturally occ…https://t.co/yT2mOfjQnQ https://t.co/YkM16TFB0e

Railways could play a critical role in distributing our clean hydrogen production, and could also be consumers as trains transition from diesel. BNSF is the ideal partner to work out the role of railways in our Heartland Hydrogen Hub. https://t.co/aCXaaqYmAM

Info graphic shows the relentless & accelerating rise in global mean temperatures since the 1800s.
Scary but hopefully energizing for us in cleantech, working to decarbonize faster than the world is carbonizing.
This is what we're up against, what's at stake
