ABEL Energy has chosen Johnson Matthey (JM) and SunGas Renewables for its flagship green hydrogen and methanol project at Bell Bay in Northern Tasmania. This A$1.4 billion venture is set to commence production by 2027, showcasing Australia’s commitment to green fuels and decarbonization.

Asahi Kasei, Gentari Hydrogen Sdn Bhd (a PETRONAS subsidiary), and JGC Holdings Corporation have completed a detailed feasibility study for a large-scale green hydrogen project.

FNB Gas unveils plans for Germany’s hydrogen core network, estimating a €20 billion investment by 2032. With a sprawling 9,700 km, the network aims to reshape existing natural gas pipelines, presenting a cost-effective and rapid strategy. Privately financed and backed by German government support, this initiative positions Germany at the forefront of hydrogen infrastructure development.

Hydrogen CTV retrofit begins In order to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions while maintaining offshore wind farms, a plan has been launched to refit a CTV with hydrogen fuel cells. Project Verdant’s first phase, which includes a feasibility study and early design, is now underway and is funded by Innovate UK, the national innovation agency of the United Kingdom. The idea will be tested in the field and its design will be implemented if it is found to be feasible in later stages. The project partners Waves Group and EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre) provide support to the collaboration headed…

Pure Hydrogen’s sales manager, Clint Butler, has unveiled the company’s ambitious plan to revolutionize the transportation sector with the Taurus prime mover. Boasting a remarkable nine-month turnaround from order to deployment, this hydrogen-powered vehicle aims to outpace traditional diesel trucks, marking a significant stride toward cleaner and more efficient road transport.

In a bid to transition to cleaner energy sources, the exploration of hydrogen blending in existing natural gas pipelines has gained momentum. However, recent research from the Argonne National Laboratory reveals a critical hurdle — the increased risk of pipeline leakage associated with hydrogen blending, potentially limiting its viability in current infrastructure.

Glosten, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has chosen Ballard Power Systems and Chart Industries as primary equipment vendors for the world’s first hydrogen-hybrid research vessel. The vessel, currently in the design phase and named the CCRV, will be owned and operated by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps).

H-TEC SYSTEMS has successfully delivered its ME450 PEM electrolyser to the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven (HLB), a research initiative at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES). The collaboration, led by general contractor Wenger Engineering GmbH, focuses on the intricate interplay between wind turbines and electrolytic hydrogen production.

Getech has entered into a partnership with LIAG (Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics), a key player in the HyAfrica consortium. The collaborative effort aims to expedite the exploration and development of natural hydrogen in Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, and Togo.
