The global energy mix is shifting from fossil fuels to combinations of multiple energy storage and generation types. Hybrid energy system advancements provide opportunities for developing and deploying innovative green technology solutions that can further reduce emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This study examined the impact of an increasing share of wind and solar electricity production on reducing carbon intensity by controlling coal and lignite domestic consumption and the production of refined oil products in a world aggregated data panel. Data covering the last three decades were used for the analysis by the ARDL bounds testing approach. The results showed that an increasing share of wind and solar electricity production would be helpful to decrease carbon intensity in the short and long term. On the other hand, a 1% increase in coal and domestic lignite consumption increased carbon intensity by 0.343% in the short run and 0.174% in the long run. The production of refined oil products decreases carbon intensity by 0.510% in the short run and 0.700% in the long run. However, refining oil products is associated with positive and negative environmental externalities. The positive aspect depends upon the removal of harmful pollutants and the production of cleaner-burning fuels, while the negative part is related to the operational side of refineries and processing plants that may release contaminants into the atmosphere, affecting global air and water quality. Hence, it is crucial to improve processing and refining capacity to produce better-refined oil products by using renewable fuels in energy production. It is proposed that these are the most cost-effective pathways to achieve industrial decarbonization.

“…For contributing to the development of the impending new green economy society based on the use of CO 2 -free alternative energy sources, the world’s energy industries must be decarbonized [ 1 ]. In this respect, hydrogen energy is postulated as an attractive alternative for an immediate future, in which the world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by the year 2050 [ 2 ].…”

The Positive Role of Nanometric Molybdenum–Vanadium Carbides in Mitigating Hydrogen Embrittlement in Structural Steels

et al. 2021

The influence of hydrogen on the fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation rate of two structural steel grades, with and without vanadium, was evaluated by means of tests performed on thermally precharged samples in a hydrogen reactor at 195 bar and 450 °C for 21 h. The degradation of the mechanical properties was directly correlated with the interaction between hydrogen atoms and the steel microstructure. A LECO DH603 hydrogen analyzer was used to study the activation energies of the different microstructural trapping sites, and also to study the hydrogen eggresion kinetics at room temperature. The electrochemical hydrogen permeation technique was employed to estimate the apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient. Under the mentioned hydrogen precharging conditions, a very high hydrogen concentration was introduced within the V-added steel (4.3 ppm). The V-added grade had stronger trapping sites and much lower apparent diffusion coefficient. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility increased significantly due to the presence of internal hydrogen in the V-free steel in comparison with tests carried out in the uncharged condition. However, the V-added steel grade (+0.31%V) was less sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. This fact was ascribed to the positive effect of the precipitated nanometric (Mo,V)C to alleviate hydrogen embrittlement. Mixed nanometric (Mo,V)C might be considered to be nondiffusible hydrogen-trapping sites, in view of their strong hydrogen-trapping capability (~35 kJ/mol). Hence, mechanical behavior of the V-added grade in the presence of internal hydrogen was notably improved.

“…This dramatic decrease in hydrogen production costs should not be taken as granted, but considered as uncertain (BEIS, 2021 [23]) and, in addition to technological uncertainties, would only result from investments and public policies. For instance, Glenk, Meier and Reichelstein (2021 [24]) estimate that the learning rate for green hydrogen is 10%, which means that the production cost decreases by 10% when the global production volume doubles. This learning rate would be consistent with a 60% cost decrease over the next decade (Hydrogen council, 2020 [9]).…”
