by Bloomberg |Friday, January 29, 2021 Pipeline firms are launching projects to blend small portions of hydrogen into their existing networks to see how the equipment behaves. (Bloomberg) -- Three million miles of natural gas pipelines criss-cross the U.S., and the fight against climate change could render them all obsolete. The last two weeks alone illustrate the stakes. President Joe Biden canceled the permit for the $9 billion Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day in office, a clear signal any new fossil fuel pipeline project in the U.S. will face long odds. His climate envoy, forme...

AARON ORLOWSKI, HOST To fight climate change, we’ll need to kick our fossil fuel habit. But switching won’t be easy, especially for airplanes running on jet fuel, for heavy duty trucks burning diesel and for stovetops using gas in homes across California. And that’s where hydrogen comes in. How can we replace fossil fuels in these trickier instances? And how are researchers at UCI proving the possibilities of clean hydrogen? From the University of California, Irvine, I’m Aaron Orlowski and you’re listening to the UCI Podcast. Today, I’m speaking with Jack Brouwer, who is a profess...

Share it California regulators are on the lookout for cleaner alternatives to replace the widespread use of back-up diesel generation — particularly among data centers in Silicon Valley and other areas of the state — and some industry players think hydrogen could be the answer.  Hydrogen's ability to provide long periods of storage capability — critical to a state that has experienced reliability problems and an industry that relies on electricity to keep its servers running — could make it an effective option for displacing the current practice of setting up large diesel generat...
