Copenhagen, Friday, 27 June 2025.
Imagine turning the air into fuel! Green hydrogen derivatives like e-methanol and e-kerosene are stepping up, pushing us toward a sustainable, low-carbon future. Let’s explore how it’s transforming industries.

The Versatile Power Players: E-Methanol and E-Kerosene

Getting a handle on the magic behind e-methanol and e-kerosene starts with understanding green hydrogen. Green hydrogen can transform into these derivatives, offering sustainable solutions for industries like aviation and shipping. Take e-methanol, for example; it doesn’t need cooling or high-pressure storage, making it a sailor’s best friend on ships [1]. E-kerosene? Well, that’s the green ticket to creating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), harnessing both green hydrogen and captured CO₂. Now that’s clever! [1]

Hyundai’s Hydrogen Vision: A New Ecosystem

South Korea’s Hyundai is shaking things up with plans for a green hydrogen ecosystem in Louisiana. Although specifics are a bit under wraps, it’s clear they’re gearing up for a hydrogen-fuelled future [1]. This bold move highlights the growing demand for hydrogen derivatives in the global energy landscape, showcasing a promising path toward energy independence and sustainability [1].

The EU’s CO₂ Challenge: Biogenic Push

The European Union is slowly turning the screws, mandating the use of biogenic CO₂. Denmark, with its robust biogas output, is on the front lines, ready to supply this vital resource. Imagine a future where regulations turn captured CO₂ into a must-have for green fuels. It’s an exciting gamble on better environmental outcomes! [1].

Morocco’s Grand Green Hydrogen Scheme

Morocco’s not sitting idle in this green revolution; they’re powering ahead with a massive 20 GW renewable energy plan to produce a whopping 8 million tonnes of green hydrogen derivatives. This not only strengthens the grip on green energy but is also a significant boost to their renewable initiatives [6].

Questa’s Quest for Energy Innovation

In a quaint corner of New Mexico, Questa is set to build a pioneering green hydrogen plant with a $231 million USDA grant. Kit Carson Electric Cooperative leads the charge, aiming to provide cheap, dependable energy. Their ambition? Plugging into solar and hydrogen to keep the community thriving [9].
