For years, hydrogen has been hailed as the fuel of the future, but its storage and transport remain a nightmare. November 2024 may be remembered as the month green ammonia turned a corner. A consortium led by Siemens Energy and Haldor Topsoe inaugurated the world’s largest solid-oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) facility in Western Australia.

The reverberations of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry are finally materializing in human trials. This November, the first patient was dosed in a Phase II trial using a in vivo click chemistry platform developed by Shasqi, a California-based biotech. The technique, which uses a biocompatible copper-free click reaction to activate a cancer drug precisely within a tumor, has shown a 40% improvement in tumor reduction compared to standard systemic therapies in preclinical models. For years, hydrogen has been hailed as the
