The American Petroleum Institute (API) recently published new research on the advantages of natural gas-derived low-carbon hydrogen. When hydrogen incentives are consistently offered based on a per ton of GHG emissions reduced, the study, which was commissioned by API and carried out by ICF, found that hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture and produced from electricity and other energy sources could eliminate an additional 180 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on average per year through 2050 and save over $450 billion cumulatively through that time. According to an API review of the study’s findings, achieving…

Tees Valley Lithium (TVL) of Alkemy Capital Investments has entered into a preliminary deal with BP Alternative Energy Investments for the delivery of green hydrogen. The green hydrogen required for TVL’s green-hydrogen electrolytic production facility in Teesside, England, will be provided by BP Alternative Energy. A move from natural gas to green hydrogen would allow TVL to further decarbonize its processes and energy needs, and the company said it will collaborate with BP to assess this possibility.

Iberdrola member AVANGRID and Sempra Infrastructure have signed a heads of agreement (HOA) to discuss the potential combined development of green hydrogen and ammonia projects in the United States that use renewable energy. The HOA gives the businesses a framework for locating, evaluating, and maybe developing large-scale green hydrogen projects that will aid in meeting the energy and decarbonization needs of both domestic and foreign clients. Sempra Infrastructure’s complex project development and commercial capabilities across clean electricity, energy networks, LNG, and net-zero solutions are complemented by AVANGRID’s extensive background in renewable development as the third largest renewables operators in the…

The Hydrogen Business Model (HBM) and Net Zero Hydrogen Fund have received a bid from bp for their proposed large-scale green hydrogen facility, HyGreen Teesside (NZHF). The HMB and NZHF both aim to establish a low-carbon hydrogen economy in the UK and aid in business growth. Four new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) regarding the usage of green hydrogen in enterprises and communities were also established by the company. HyGreen Teesside, a green hydrogen facility being built by bp, has the potential to be one of the largest in the UK. With an initial planned phase of installed hydrogen production capacity…

A partnership agreement has been reached by Airbus and the student team AeroDelft. In accordance with this arrangement, Airbus will collaborate with AeroDelft on Project Phoenix, assisting the group’s scholarly investigation into hydrogen-powered aviation. More than 50 college students make up the interdisciplinary AeroDelft team, which is situated in Delft, the Netherlands. The team’s goal is to demonstrate and advocate for liquid hydrogen as an aviation fuel substitute for traditional fuels. They began the aforementioned Project Phoenix to carry out this task, building and producing two aircraft fuelled by liquid hydrogen. The Phoenix Prototype, an autonomous drone that is expected…

With its consortium partner Midrex, the SMS group company Paul Wurth has been chosen to provide the first commercial 100% hydrogen Direct Reduction plant in the world to the Swedish company H2 Green Steel. By substituting green hydrogen for coal, the new factory in Boden, northern Sweden, will be the first in the world to make green steel on a large scale. This multibillion-euro project has an ambitious timetable. The goal is to begin steel production in 2025, followed by a ramp-up phase in 2026. More than 2.5 million tons of green steel will be produced annually at first.

Technip Energies has been given the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study contract by Uniper for the H2Maasvlakte project, which will begin immediately in October 2022. By 2030, H2Maasvlakte plans to gradually grow up to a 500 MW total electrolysis capacity for green hydrogen. In 2025, the first 100 MW is expected to be put into service. The Dutch government’s objective of constructing 500 MW of green hydrogen electrolyzer capacity by 2025 and achieving 3–4 GW by 2030 would be greatly aided by Uniper’s flagship H2Maasvlakte project. The Uniper H2Maasvlakte project was recently nominated by the European Commission for the “IPCEI…

Accelerating scoping activities on a pilot plant for its hydrogen process is Sparc Technologies’ joint venture (JV) with green energy producer Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and the University of Adelaide. After the JV, Sparc Hydrogen, finished a preliminary techno-economic analysis (TEA) on its photocatalytic water splitting technology, which confirmed the commercial potential for the technology potential to create energy efficiencies and a cost competitive advantage because of the low capital and operating expenditure required, in comparison to renewable energy and electrolysis, the decision was made. FFI has praised the advancements made in the study and creation of new technologies that…

500 fuel cell vehicles, along with maintenance and fuel for several years, have been ordered from the Swabian manufacturer by the US transportation firm TMP Logistics. A significant order for fuel cell trucks has been placed with the German company Quantron from the USA. The American logistics firm TMP Logistics will get 500 large fuel cell vehicles from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the presence of Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger, the framework agreement for this will be signed during the Hydrogen Americas Summit in Washington (Free Voters). The trucks are included in the order as a service, including…

In order to make India a competitive export hub in the industry, Assocham President Sumant Sinha stated that India’s legislation for green energy should be sensitive to developments in other nations in terms of providing incentives for fledgling sectors like green hydrogen. A comprehensive green hydrogen mission is being developed, and the government has also established the national green hydrogen policy. The CEO of ReNew Power added that there is significant room for expansion in manufacturing as well as in the field of renewable energy. The government is placing a strong emphasis on the development of non-fossil fuel energy, and…
