Entergy has broken ground on the Orange County Advanced Power Station (OCAPS), a 1,215 MW combined cycle plant located near Bridge City, Texas. The plant, which would use natural gas initially and transition to hydrogen in the future, would have the ability to use up to 30% hydrogen by volume, potentially reaching 100%. The $1.2 billion project is expected to create nearly $1.8 billion in total economic activity in Southeast Texas.
A consortium consisting of GTT, TotalEnergies, LMG Marin, and Bureau Veritas has signed an agreement to develop a vessel for transporting liquid hydrogen, a gas considered crucial for decarbonization but facing infrastructure issues.
In a significant development, the Gujarat cabinet has approved the draft land allocation policy for green hydrogen projects, thereby taking the lead in India’s big leap towards green hydrogen manufacturing.
Bloom Energy, a leading provider of distributed energy solutions, has signed an agreement with Elugie, an energy service company in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, to provide 9.75 megawatts of power from the Bloom Energy Server® at five commercial, industrial, and data centre sites in Belgium.
The Electric Power Trading Chamber (CCEE) has been invited to join a World Bank initiative aimed at helping developing countries structure their hydrogen markets.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have developed a technical concept and design for a hydrogen generation plant optimized for use at sea, called the “OffsH2ore” project.
