"Electrochaea is part of a consortium led by Hydrogenics Europe N.V., a leading electrolyzer manufacturer based in Oevel, Belgium. Other members include CNG Services Ltd, a leading engineering firm for gas-to-grid projects in the UK, and National Grid, the UK's main gas and power grid operator."
Think twice before investing alongside the big names set to speak at tomorrow's Ira Sohn conference. Following the top tips of last year's speakers would have produced a gain of 19%, less than the 22% profit from investing in a passive index fund, according to an FT analysis. [View news story]

"3. WHAT IS HYDROGEN-ENRICHED NATURAL GAS?
Hydrogen-enriched natural gas, or HENG, is a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. In theory, the two can
be mixed in any proportion, but typically, HENG in the range of 10 per cent to 20 per cent hydrogen by
volume represents the most promising near-term option. At these concentrations, HENG is generally
compatible with existing natural gas transmission and distribution infrastructure, as well as end-use
equipment. Moreover, codes and standards in many jurisdictions treat HENG with less than 20 per cent
hydrogen as natural gas, which will facilitate its initial deployment into gas networks. Also, at these levels
HENG offers important emissions and potential efficiency benefits, compared with natural gas.
4. BENEFITS
In broad terms, HENG enables the initial deployment of hydrogen in the energy system without the need
for expensive infrastructure investments. This resolves the classic “chicken and egg” problem of hydrogen
production and the dedicated storage, transmission and other equipment needed to use it directly as a
fuel.The use of HENG enhances combustion and reduces CO2 emission from natural gas. It also leads to
lower emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned
methane and other hydrocarbons. HENG can also improve the fuel efficiency of gas-fired combustion in
boilers, engines and turbines, using existing natural gas delivery infrastructure and end-use equipment.
• HENG decreases the carbon intensity of natural gas. For every tonne of carbon removed before
combustion, approximately 3.7 tonnes of CO2 are prevented when HENG is burned.2
• HENG increases the efficiency of natural gas conversion into useful energy. Adding even small amounts of
hydrogen leads to more complete combustion of the fuel, including CO, methane and other hydrocarbons
in the gas stream.This can improve engine efficiency and lower emissions of harmful pollutants.
• HENG helps avoid the formation of thermal NOx, because it allows stable combustion at leaner gas
mixtures to achieve lower flame temperatures than is possible with conventional natural gas....we have been relying on hydrogen to power economic development
for over 150 years, twice as long as electricity and four times as long as natural gas. Reintroducing
hydrogen into the natural gas grid as HENG is actually going “back to the future.”
Before the development of natural gas supplies and transmission systems, during the 1940s and 1950s,
virtually all gaseous fuel and lighting gas used in North America, the U.K., Europe, and throughout the
world was manufactured from coal. Originally a by-product of the coking process, manufactured gas was
extensively exploited in the nineteeth and early twentieth centuries, initially for lighting, and then for
cooking and heating. Commonly referred to as “town gas” or “illuminating gas,” it was a mixture of
hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, with small amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Depending
on the gasification process, hydrogen concentrations ranged from 10 per cent to 50 per cent."

"Studies of populations exposed to radioactive fallout also point to
increased cancer risk as the primary late
health effect of exposure. As studies of
biological samples (including bone, thyroid glands and other tissues) have been
undertaken, it has become increasingly
clear that specific radionuclides in fallout
are implicated in fallout-related cancers
and other late effects."
