Natural hydrogen hype can shape funding rules and research agendas

An analysis of natural-hydrogen documents finds that promotional language is linked to peripheral positions in the research field and reliance on established authorities. A separate review of institutional documents suggests that some texts amplify expectations, while others temper them; hybrid documents can write those expectations into rules and research priorities.

Belgium’s low-carbon energy plans could cut climate pollution but raise other risks

A modeling study of Belgium’s 2045 energy system found that all near-optimal low-carbon pathways met the climate target but exceeded limits for ecotoxicity and particulate matter under the most permissive assessment approach. The pathways had similar costs but differed in whether they relied mainly on electrification, hydrogen, renewable power capacity or a mix of strategies.
