Element One just locked down access to a critical mineral needed for clean energy technology, all from American soil. The move could reduce US dependence on foreign suppliers while powering the next generation of green innovation.
Scientists have discovered vast reserves of naturally occurring hydrogen beneath Earth's surface that could power the planet for 170,000 years at under $1 per kilogram. The breakthrough discovery could transform the global energy landscape and dramatically speed up the shift away from fossil fuels.
British scientists developed a catalyst that produces hydrogen at temperatures low enough to use waste heat from factories, potentially turning industrial pollution into clean fuel. The breakthrough could make hydrogen cheaper than current green energy methods.
A smaller tech company just beat out seven major competitors to build South Korea's first hydrogen tram charging station in Daejeon, marking a major step toward zero-emission public transit. The facility will fuel trams that travel over 200 kilometers without producing any carbon dioxide.
Every November, farmers in northern India burn leftover crops, choking Delhi in smoke. Now, new technology could transform that same waste into clean hydrogen fuel and steady income for the people who grow India's food.
The East Coast is building a massive hydrogen fueling network to help freight trucks go green without the long charging waits of electric vehicles. Federal funding of $750 million is creating fuel stations from Boston to Washington D.C., solving the chicken-and-egg problem that's kept clean trucks off the road.
A massive data center in New Mexico will run entirely on hydrogen fuel cells instead of traditional power, slashing water use while creating thousands of jobs. Oracle is also investing hundreds of millions into local schools, infrastructure, and water systems across Doña Ana County.
Santa Cruz Metro is replacing its entire fleet with hydrogen and electric buses, cutting emissions while improving service. By 2037, all 97 buses will run on clean energy instead of diesel and natural gas.
University of Birmingham researchers discovered a breakthrough catalyst that produces clean hydrogen at far lower temperatures, potentially making green fuel cheap enough to compete with fossil fuels. The innovation could turn industrial waste heat into free energy for hydrogen production.

A decade-long study at a Canadian mine found it naturally releases enough hydrogen to power over 400 homes yearly. This discovery hints at a massive untapped source of clean energy hiding beneath our feet.
Researchers just discovered a game-changing principle that could make hydrogen fuel cells cheaper and more efficient, potentially accelerating our shift to clean energy. The breakthrough challenges decades of assumptions about how the best catalysts actually work.
Scientists discovered that billion-year-old rocks deep beneath Canada are naturally producing hydrogen gas that could power homes and industries without carbon emissions. One mine site in Ontario alone generates enough hydrogen annually to meet the energy needs of more than 400 homes.
A Pune-based company has created hydrogen fuel cell generators that produce zero emissions and zero noise, offering businesses a clean alternative to diesel backup power. The technology is already powering its first commercial facility in India.
A mine in Ontario has been accidentally releasing clean hydrogen fuel for years, enough to power hundreds of homes. Scientists say 70% of Earth's crust could do the same.
Scientists in Germany just broke the world record for turning sunlight directly into clean hydrogen fuel, reaching 31.3% efficiency. The breakthrough could slash the cost of green hydrogen below $3 per kilogram.
Scientists in Germany just shattered the world record for turning sunlight directly into clean hydrogen fuel, reaching 31% efficiency. The breakthrough could help make green hydrogen cheap enough to power everything from factories to cars.
Researchers discovered valuable new materials by studying what happens between the start and end of chemical reactions during heating. One find could revolutionize solar energy and battery technology.
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are transforming everyday waste like corn husks, sawdust, and animal waste into clean energy. Their breakthrough could help reduce greenhouse gases while creating fertilizer as a bonus.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are converting corn husks, sawdust, and even cork into clean hydrogen fuel. The process also creates a soil-enriching byproduct that helps crops grow better.
Researchers just figured out how to transform plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel using only sunlight and old car battery acid. This breakthrough tackles two pollution problems at once while creating valuable green energy.
