Plug Power's stock price surged following a significant increase in its analyst price target, indicating strong investor confidence and positive outlook for the company's future performance.
At CES 2024, Hyundai and Bosch Mobility showcased their plans for hydrogen energy utilization, buoyed by government investments. Honda unveiled "thin, light and wise" EV concepts, while Kia introduced electric vans with interchangeable body modules. Mercedes-Benz and other automakers are enhancing in-car tech ecosystems, with some partnering with Google for pre-installed apps. Additionally, Honda and Toyota are eyeing the development of solid-state batteries for future EVs, aiming for improved stability, power, and energy density.
Scientists from the University of Kansas and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have made significant progress in understanding the complete reaction mechanism for "water-splitting" catalysts, bringing us closer to generating pure hydrogen from renewable energy sources. The breakthrough could contribute to a more sustainable future by providing a cleaner and more abundant source of power for electricity generation, transportation, and industrial applications. The research findings could also have broader implications for improving other chemical processes and catalysts, potentially advancing industrial chemistry and recycling of nuclear fuels.
The Energy Department has released a roadmap that aims to reduce US emissions by 10% in 2050 using hydrogen energy. The strategy focuses on targeting hydrogen use in key industries, making hydrogen energy cheaper, and creating regional hubs. The Biden administration is specifically calling for clean hydrogen, which is formed using carbon-free sources. However, there is debate over whether existing energy sources can be used to create clean hydrogen. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has not taken a stance on the issue but says it is an important consideration.
