Have you ever thought about what would happen if hydrogen got involved with your kitchen stove? Well, Dalhousie University is stepping up to the plate with its Hydrogen Applications Research Laboratory (HARL). This spring, they made a big splash by joining an international program focused on testing hydrogen appliances. This effort really puts HARL in the spotlight, putting their research at the forefront of validating hydrogen-enriched natural gas for everyday appliances.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on clean hydrogen news or diving into the latest on hydrogen energy, you might’ve noticed that the hydrogen scene in the UK and Ireland often felt a bit all over the place. It’s like three solo artists—Scotland with its offshore aspirations, Ireland’s focused regional efforts, and the UK’s North Sea strategy, each jamming to their own beat.

Picture this: a not-so-distant future where tiny nuclear microreactors are generating the heat needed to split water molecules and create clean hydrogen. Sounds like science fiction? Well, it’s getting closer to reality! NewHydrogen, a trailblazer based in California, has teamed up with NuCube Energy. They’re taking a hard look at how to combine ThermoLoop, NewHydrogen’s innovative process, with NuSun microreactors.
