More Investing in Hydrogen as Renewable Energy Source Opens Possibilities

Renewable energy sources have only seen higher interest following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As more countries turn to energy independence amid Western sanctions against Russia, one source of energy to consider is hydrogen.A confluence of investment dollars, research, and scientific testing could make hydrogen a prime energy source moving forward. Like any fairly new technology, more testing will need to take place in order for hydrogen to become a viable option.“Hydrogen is widely viewed as a sustainable energy source for transportation, but there are some technical obstacles that need to be overcome before it can be viewed as a practical alternative to existing technologies,” said Milad Abolhasani, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State. “One of the big obstacles to the adoption of a hydrogen economy is the cost of storage and…
