Wael Jassar wants to release another spiritual album.

The popular Lebanese crooner is famous for his sensitive ballads and the Islamic-inspired spiritual albums.

After the success of 2010's Fi Hadrat Al Mahboub and 2011's Beloved Prophet, Jassar says he plans to continue the series with an album dedicated to famous women in Islamic history.

“With God’s will I hope I can make it,” he said from the Mawazine Festival in Morocco. “With this album I just want to help in showing that Islam is a religion of peace as opposed to what other people are propagating the religion to be.”

Hydrogen: Market potential

Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.

"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.

Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.

The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
