Las exportaciones de GNL aumentaron de 0,5 mil millones de pies cúbicos por día (Bcf/d) en 2016 a 15,0 Bcf/d en 2025 y continúan creciendo.

El Foro Económico Internacional de Energías Renovables afirma que el Mar del Norte se está convirtiendo en una potencia energética limpia.

Se fija como meta alcanzar 48 GW de potencia solar y 31 GW de eólica terrestre en 2030, pero no se prevé ningún cierre nuclear antes de 2035 y sí un aumento de la producción, según Aurora Energy Research.

El uso de otras formas de hidrógeno, y no solo la variedad verde producida con electricidad renovable, será “un complemento importante” en el desarrollo del mercado, según BDEW.

El dispositivo se basa en un motor Stirling, un tipo de máquina diseñada para convertir el calor en movimiento mecánico.

La carga proviene de las instalaciones de Envision en Chifeng, reconocidas como la mayor base de producción de hidrógeno y amoníaco ecológico del mundo.

El mecanismo es además reversible, tras la descarga, si la solución se neutraliza, el sistema puede volver a exponerse a la luz para recargarse.

SEAT CUPRA acelera hacia 2026 con la producción en serie del CUPRA Raval, el primer coche 100% eléctrico urbano fabricado en Martorell, marcando el inicio de una familia de modelos para el Grupo Volkswagen.

El proyecto H2SKID, liderado por Sarralle y con participación de otras diez empresas vascas, desarrollará hasta 2027 un electrolizador experimental contenerizado de 1,25 MW para suministrar hidrógeno verde in situ a grandes consumidores industriales y acelerar los ensayos de descarbonización.
