Fortescue Future Industries has received approval from the Queensland government to connect two proposed green hydrogen projects to the grid, allowing them to tap renewable energy supplies. Two new green hydrogen developments on Gibson Island and Aldoga – near Gladstone – will be connected to the Queensland transmission network and supplied with renewable energy under a contract negotiated with the state government-owned Powerlink and Economic Development Queensland (EDQ). Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the connection deal was critical to the development of renewable hydrogen facilities and the state government’s plans to position itself as a “superpower in hydrogen and…

New Mexico is collaborating with three other western states – Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming – on a regional proposal for a hydrogen energy hub that might vie for a share of $8 billion in federal infrastructure funding.

According to the International Energy Agency, hydrogen may account for roughly 15 percent of final energy consumption by 2050, or possibly 22 percent under BloombergNEF’s green scenario.

The Technological District for Energy and Green Economy (DTE2V) managed by CoSviG, the Consortium for the development of geothermal areas, informs that Tuscany Region has activated 4 round tables on the hydrogen theme – each one chaired by the regional councillor of reference -, in view of the important resources allocated in this regard by the NRP, and in the perspective of European structural funds. The four discussion tables are respectively dedicated to research and training, technology transfer and production chain, infrastructure and sustainable mobility, energy and environment. “The purpose of the tables – say the DTE2V – is to…

GWM hosted the plant handover ceremony and brand launch conference in Brazil, displaying the exceptional achievements of its three “Hydrogen-L.E.M.O.N. Technology” platforms and high-efficiency solutions and demonstrating the development of hydrogen energy worldwide. At the presentation, GWM showcased the “Hydrogen-L.E.M.O.N. Technology,” a full-scenario solution of “hydrogen energy systems” that meets vehicle standards. The company announced that it will develop a global hydrogen fuel cell R&D base to undertake research on fuel cell technologies and recruit and train local talent in Brazil in intelligence and clean energy to generate green production. Since 2016, GWM has already been building up a world-class…

Chevron’s announcement is part of a larger, long-term plan to build a green hydrogen fuel infrastructure that would, among other things, provide a zero-emission energy source for commercial and passenger vehicles. Hydrogen is seen as an important part of the Bay Area’s energy transformation.

A recent research report by Goldman Sachs had also mentioned that the hydrogen generation market that stands at $125 billion today can reach $1trillion by 2050.

GHD, one of the world’s largest professional services firms, has been awarded funding by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for a project aimed at demonstrating the use of an innovative hydrogen storage system. The project is a collaboration with LAVO Hydrogen Storage Technology Pty Ltd, with the University of Chester’s Thornton Science Park providing a demonstrator location. The funding comes from BEIS’s Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration competition, Stream 2. The scheme is part of the Government’s ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, which includes a commitment of £100 million to address “Energy Storage and…

Germany wants to be climate-neutral by 2045. The energy conversion offers the chance to get away from Russian gas imports as well. Hydrogen plays a major role in this. The expectations are high, and so are the hurdles. When Green politician Robert Habeck took up his new post at the beginning of December, he didn’t just become the Federal Minister of Economics, but the Federal Minister of Economics and Climate Protection. There’s more behind this than just a new portfolio. The new government wants to set the course for making Germany climate-neutral by 2045. This will require a massive restructuring…

The U.S. has launched the Gold Hydrogen program to extract natural hydrogen, which is found underground. It was previously inaccessible, but new innovative methods have already been developed to obtain this resource. The Gold Hydrogen program involves the Houston Future Center, as well as global players in the U.S. hydrogen industry like Cemvita Factory, Chart Industries and EXP. Able to revitalize thousands of depleted, abandoned oil and gas fields across the U.S., the innovative hydrogen production methods combine existing infrastructure with advanced microbiology. “The Gold Hydrogen program provides a unique opportunity to transition to a clean hydrogen economy. Ambitious measures…
