The potential of hydrogen in decarbonising cement27 August 2021, Published under Cement NewsThis week, we take a look at the significant role hydrogen is expected to play in the cement sector's route to decarbonisation. Two kinds of hydrogen are set to be used by industry as a fossil fuel replacement, but each has its own set of challenges and benefits, with 'green hydrogen' and 'blue hydrogen' referring to the different methods of its production. For it to be classed as 'green', the hydrogen needs to be generated through a water electrolysis process, which is itself powered by... |
