Italy has initiated discussions with German authorities regarding a potential supply agreement for natural gas and hydrogen to Bavaria, one of Germany’s key states. This collaboration signifies a significant stride in the Meloni government’s vision to transform Italy into a “gas hub,” positioning the country as a pivotal point for receiving and redistributing fuel between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
Enagás and Reganosa have sealed their historic alliance. This transformative agreement involves Enagás’s acquisition of Reganosa’s 130-kilometer gas pipeline network for approximately 54 million euros, coupled with the acquisition of a 25% stake in the El Musel regasification plant in Gijón for 95 million euros. The regasification facility will undergo a renaming to E-Hub as it embarks on a new era of energy transformation.
Hexagon Purus Maritime, a subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, has secured a purchase order for a cutting-edge hydrogen fuel storage system. The recipient of this groundbreaking technology is Hvide Sande Shipyard, a renowned Danish shipyard with a strong commitment to pioneering zero-emission solutions for the maritime sector.
Glasgow-based Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS) has just unveiled the X1.5, the United Kingdom’s inaugural full-sized hydrogen-powered Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) prototype. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a beacon of hope for the environment and a testament to the power of hydrogen fuel-cell technology.
PTTEP (PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited) and POSCO Holdings have joined forces once again, this time to explore groundbreaking opportunities within the realms of blue and green hydrogen as well as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. This strategic partnership aims to propel clean energy initiatives forward while fostering robust and environmentally responsible business growth.
EDF makes pink hydrogen using nuclear Pink hydrogen will be produced by EDF using nuclear power for the first time in the UK. Industry will make use of this to produce asphalt. The “Bay Hydrogen Hub – Hydrogen4Hanson” demonstrator project is funded to the tune of 17.5 million euros by a number of business partners and the British government. A 1 MW solid oxide electrolyser (SOE), whose efficiency is said to be 20% higher than that of a PEM electrolyser, will be used to produce hydrogen. This system will be run on electricity and water steam generated by the 1.25…
CIMC Enric’s Hydrogen Energy High-pressure Gas Hydrogen Division, also known as Shijiazhuang Enric Gas Equipment Company Limited, has introduced China’s inaugural 30 MPa carbon fiber winding tube bundle hydrogen container.
McPhy Energy has inaugurated what is hailed as France’s ‘first’ large-capacity, low-carbon hydrogen refueling station.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands have embarked on an ambitious journey to strengthen their collaboration in industries that define the future. His Excellency Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and His Excellency Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, recently engaged in discussions centered around catalyzing investments and fostering joint ventures in pivotal sectors that include renewable energy, space exploration, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, agricultural technology, and smart mobility solutions. This substantial commitment to cooperation culminated in the signing of an agreement to collaborate on water management.
In the quest for a low-carbon economy, a team of visionary scientists at the NTI Competence Center, specializing in “Hydrogen as the basis of a low-carbon economy,” within the Federal Research Center, Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, have achieved a remarkable breakthrough. Their innovation involves a novel material for electrodes in hydrogen fuel cells, opening doors to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.
