Saudi Arabia’s National Hydrogen Strategy, which is currently being finalized, aims to attract more than $36 billion in investment by 2030, according to a senior official from the country’s Energy Ministry. Clean hydrogen production, export and domestic use as well as industry infrastructure and transportation are all key components of this strategy, according to Energy Minister Ahmed Al-Dowsary. Speaking at an IRENA-hosted virtual event on Tuesday, he said the Kingdom would focus on five priority areas during the implementation stage. He stated that Saudi Arabia is willing to work with all IRENA member countries on hydrogen synergies, and that discussions…

The UK government has committed to creating a new public body to improve the energy system’s resilience. The Future System Operator (FSO), which will be established once legislation has been passed and timelines have been discussed with key stakeholders, will examine the entire British energy system, integrating existing networks with emerging technologies such as hydrogen. The FSO will be a new public body based on the Electricity System Operator’s (ESO) and, where applicable, National Grid Gas’ existing capabilities (NGG). It will work with energy suppliers and networks to balance the UK’s electricity systems and ensure that households and businesses have…

Air Products has chosen thyssenkrupp nucera to supply alkaline water electrolysis technology for a 10 metric ton per day facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, that will produce green liquid hydrogen. Thyssenkrupp nucera will deliver two large-scale alkaline water electrolysis standard modules under this contract. The project has started, and the facility is expected to be operational in 2023. Using Air Products’ proprietary technology, gaseous hydrogen will be converted to liquid hydrogen. The manufacturing facility will also include a distribution terminal for Air Products, which will distribute the product to the mobility market in California and other parts of the United…

Green Hydrogen Systems has agreed to supply electrolysis equipment for a project in Scotland with Edinburgh-based Logan Energy. Two GHS HyProvide A90 electrolysers with a combined capacity of 0.9 MW are included in the order. The electrolysers will be installed as part of a complete green hydrogen plant in a 40-foot container at the ARBIKIE Distillery in Scotland. Green Hydrogen Systems will deliver the electrolyser units and, as part of a three-year service agreement, will provide on-site maintenance, remote monitoring, and support for the project. The ARBIKIE project will consist of a single 1MW wind turbine on the distillery’s farmland,…

Hyundai and Advent Technologies have signed a technology assessment, sales, and development agreement to bring green energy solutions to current high-carbon applications using fuel cell technology. Hyundai will provide catalysts to Advent for testing in its proprietary Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs), and Advent will assist Hyundai in meeting its fuel cell project requirements. After the first phase of the project is completed, the companies will work closely together to define specific product requirements, collaborative product goals, and milestones for achieving established goals and plans for phase 2, which will include Advent’s stack cooling technology. L’Innovator, Advent’s joint development program with…

Green Hydrogen Systems has signed an agreement with Gaznat to deliver electrolysis equipment for its Innovation Lab in Switzerland. The contract calls for the delivery of a GHS HyProvide A90 electrolyser with a 0.5 MW capacity for the production of green hydrogen from renewable solar energy. The electrolyser, which will be manufactured by Green Hydrogen Systems and operated by Gaznat, will be installed in a 20-foot container as a complete green hydrogen plant. The ordered electrolyser will be able to produce approximately 195 kg of green hydrogen per day once it is fully operational. With a new and innovative methanation…

PowerCell Sweden and Siemens Energy have signed a long-term collaboration agreement in the field of fuel cell-based propulsion and power generation systems for marine applications. The agreement is based on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in August 2018 by both companies. Siemens Energy has placed an order for a 100kW marine fuel-cell module as part of the expanded collaboration. Siemens Energy will test the module as part of the company’s research and development of fuel cell-based marine systems for propulsion and power generation. The ordered module has a 100kW output and is based on the strategic partnership between Siemens Energy…

Nuvera Fuel Cells, a provider of industrial fuel cell power solutions, has received a purchase order and has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hytech. Nuvera E-45 Fuel Cell Engines will be evaluated for stationary power applications by the engineering and services firm based in Klepp Stasjon, Norway. Using Nuvera’s fuel cell solutions, Hytech is also looking into developing hydrogen-powered hydraulic pumps and auxiliary power units. Nuvera’s metallic fuel cell stack technology is well suited to on- and off-road vehicles, as well as many stationary applications, due to its high shock and vibration resistance. Nuvera fuel cell engines come with…

The European Investment Bank (EIB), the Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO), and Iberdrola have announced a partnership to help the economy decarbonize by producing green hydrogen for industrial use, thereby enhancing EU energy security. Iberdrola will receive €53 million from the EIB and €35 million from ICO for this purpose, with both loans certified as green financing. The funds will be used to build one of Europe’s largest photovoltaic plants, a 20 MWh battery, and a green hydrogen production plant in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). This is the first time the two organizations have partnered to develop green…

The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in collaboration with the US Navy, has awarded Skydweller U.S. a $14 million contract to advance and integrate technologies in support of Skydweller’s development of its extreme-endurance, solar-powered aircraft. This effort will expand the aircraft’s operational envelope, allowing it to be used in more places around the world while also improving mission reliability and system flexibility. The primary goal of the project is to create and integrate key hardware and software that uses clean technology to improve efficiency and performance. Hydrogen fuel cells, a lightweight hydrogen storage system, advanced battery modules, and advanced mission management…
