Saudi Arabia’s energy behemoth, Aramco, is steering its colossal resources towards the production of low-carbon hydrogen. This seismic shift in strategy is poised to propel Aramco into the vanguard of the green energy revolution, as the company aims to produce a staggering 2 million tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen by 2030, a move that could potentially transform the global hydrogen landscape.

Eletrobras, a key player in Brazil’s energy landscape, is embarking on a groundbreaking journey into the realm of green hydrogen. With an eye on commercial-scale production, the company sees green hydrogen as a catalyst for Brazil’s synthetic fuel market, potentially revolutionizing energy consumption in the country and opening doors to international exports of eco-friendly e-methanol.

Port of Sines has unveiled a direct maritime route to the northeast of Brazil, promising to significantly reduce shipping time between continents. Beyond mere logistics, this maritime connection aims to play a pivotal role in both Brazil’s green hydrogen ambitions and the impending EU-Mercosur trade agreement.

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.
