For assistance in navigating the green hydrogen offtake talks around the Bristol Springs Project in Western Australia, Frontier Energy has chosen Equity Lifting Solutions. The Bristol Springs Project’s Stage One green hydrogen hub, which is expected to produce 4.4 million kilograms of the clean energy source annually, will be the focal point of conversations about offtake. With several of its top targets, particularly individuals working in the larger energy sector, Frontier has already begun negotiations. The Bristol Springs Project is around 300 meters away from the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP), which offers a potential route for green…

A new initiative has been announced that hopes to use a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) to carry green hydrogen from Sweden to Germany, however there is currently no provider set up to provide the renewable H2. According to Hydrogenious, a German LOHC manufacturer, the Northern Green Crane project will transport up to 8,000 tonnes of green hydrogen from a yet-to-be-determined location in northern Sweden to Lingen, Germany, and Rotterdam, the Netherlands, by 2026. The hydrogen will be added to benzyl toluene, a LOHC that is easily transported and a liquid at room temperature. The hydrogen will then be extracted…

A full electrolyzer prototype is now being developed by NewHydrogen to demonstrate their cutting-edge, high-performance, low-cost catalyst technology. The prototype will be used as a base for future NewHydrogen developments of additional electrolyzer component advancements. The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) is the site of NewHydrogen-sponsored research that aims to systematically cut the cost of green hydrogen while improving the performance of vital hydrogen generator components. These electrolyzers now rely on scarce materials like iridium and platinum, which make up a significant amount of the cost, to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Researchers at UCLA who were supported…

The characteristics and quality of the hydrogen direct reduced sponge iron are superior to those of the fossil-based approach, according to new study conducted as part of the HYBRIT project. The test findings demonstrate that, in addition to nearly eliminating CO2 emissions, the direct reduction with hydrogen results in a product that is simple to handle, transport, and store. SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall launched the HYBRIT initiative to create a new technology for hydrogen-based iron and steelmaking with the goal of creating a value chain free of fossil fuels from the mine to the completed steel product. At the pilot…

During the period of January through August, Hyundai Motor of Korea outsold its Japanese rivals to lead the world in hydrogen car sales. In a statement, SNE Research cited data from the Global FCEV Monthly Tracker to report that Hyundai Motor sold 7,410 hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in international markets over the course of the eight-month period, an increase of 26% from the 5,873 units sold during the same period last year. According to the statement, the manufacturer of the Nexo hydrogen model had close to 60% of the market for hydrogen-powered vehicles worldwide in the first eight months.…

One of the biggest hydrogen value chain investment funds in the world has added CMA CGM Group as a new industrial stakeholder. CMA CGM has joined Hy24 as a key industrial investor, and the two companies have announced the closure of €2 billion ($1.94 billion) in allocations in the Clean H2 Infra Fund, the world’s first and largest infrastructure fund to invest in the complete clean hydrogen chain. The fund aspires to contribute to the decarbonization of the global economy by concentrating on scaling up proven hydrogen solutions for mature infrastructure assets. Hy24 hopes to mobilize up to €20 billion…

The large-scale industrialized zero-emission electro-hydrogen unit from EODev, the GEH2 from Generac, will be made available on the North American market thanks to the distribution agreement between Generac Power Systems and EODev. This distribution agreement shows the market’s continuous expansion for low-carbon power generation alternatives as well as developments in lowering the use of fossil fuel-powered generators. This partnership further underscores the strategic focus of Generac Powering A Smarter World and increases EODev’s market penetration in North America by utilizing its cutting-edge electro-hydrogen unit. A first order for GEH2 electro-hydrogen units was placed by Generac, and some of them have…

Hyster Company tests an HFC-powered container handler at Fenix Marine Services in the Port of Los Angeles. The Hyster H1050-1150XD-CH top-pick container handler is powered by two 45kw hydrogen fuel cells from Hyster-Yale Group subsidiary Nuvera. A 2018 California Climate Investments grant helped build the HFC-powered container handling. The HFC-powered top pick provides the zero emissions of a battery electric option with enough capacity to keep operators going and prevent the need to refuel or recharge mid-shift. Refueling the top pick with hydrogen filling should take 15 minutes and deliver eight to 10 hours of continuous operating time while producing…

A floating wind-to-hydrogen project off Aberdeen has been awarded front end engineering and design (FEED) work to Principle Power. Plans for Dolphyn, or Deepwater Offshore Local Production of HYdrogeN, created by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), call for the building of a demonstrator project that can generate green hydrogen from saltwater at scale utilizing floating offshore wind power. Based on Principle Power’s WindFloat technology, the project employs a modular design to connect electrolyser facilities and a wind turbine on a moored semi-submersible platform. ERM earlier stated that it planned to place the unit 15 km off Aberdeen and use a design…

HyAxiom and Shell have agreed to use a solid oxide fuel cell created by HyAxiom to power liquefied natural gas carrier. This will examine the technology’s capacity to reduce carbon emissions from maritime transport, a field that is crucial to trade and global economies but is regarded as difficult to regulate. A vessel powered by a HyAxiom-developed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) would be launched in 2025, according to the agreement between Shell, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), DNV, and Doosan Fuel Cell (DFCC). HyAxiom will design and develop the SOFC Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for long-range maritime demonstration,…
