ACWA Power, a co-sponsor of the Ouarzazate Noor solar power plant, which is Morocco’s renewable energy showcase project, has expressed an interest in investigating additional hydrogen potential in Morocco. The Saudi power generating and desalination expert already has a foothold in Morocco thanks to his work at the Nour facilities and the Halladi wind farm, and now he wants to increase that presence as the country develops its green hydrogen industry. While the local green hydrogen industry is still in its infancy, ACWA Power sees tremendous potential in the North African market thanks to Morocco’s expanding renewable energy capacity and…
As part of their plan to establish an electrolyser assembly line and polysilicon production plant in India, Steinbeis signed a memorandum of understanding with Waaree Energies and DSE Consortium Germany. The collaboration will also be in charge of introducing solar thermal technologies to India, which will be used to convert the country’s coal fire plants into environmentally friendly power plants. In addition, they will begin working together to build solar power facilities in Africa. At the 26th Conference of Parties in Glasgow, UK, India pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. This…
The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy will celebrate the completion of the Samcheok hydrogen production base in Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do. The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy has been supporting the construction of small-scale hydrogen production bases that use city gas in seven regions around the country since 2019 to solve regional bias in hydrogen supply for vehicles. Samcheok hydrogen production base is the third after Changwon and Pyeongtaek, and the first with shipping facilities in Gangwon. The Samcheok hydrogen production base can produce 1 ton of hydrogen per day for Gangwon-do hydrogen charging stations. Samcheok scheduled a test run…
Lotte Chemical and the Sumitomo Corporation of Japan have agreed to work together to develop an environmentally friendly method of producing hydrogen and ammonia. Through this agreement, the two companies will make joint investments in the production of clean hydrogen and ammonia in other countries, specifically in Australia and Chile. In addition, they will commercialize and jointly commercialize technologies that are related to clean hydrogen and ammonia, as well as make joint investments in ammonia terminals in Korea and Japan, as well as businesses that are related to carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS). cooperation, etc. Through this memorandum of…
The Victorian government has allocated $11.9 million toward the building of a permanent renewable hydrogen facility in Victoria, Australia, contingent upon the results of pilot testing by Yarra Valley Water. After receiving financing from the State Government’s Energy Innovation Fund, Round 2, the utility will begin testing a locally produced hydrogen electrolyser at the Aurora Water Treatment Plant to evaluate the project’s practicality and performance. Following a successful feasibility study, the utility will begin building a large-scale hydrogen facility with funding from the State Government. To promote Australia’s domestic hydrogen market, Yarra Valley Water and Jacobs had previously collaborated to…
Strohm, a producer of fully bonded Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with State Power Investment Corporation of China (SPIC) for green hydrogen production. Thermoplastic Composite Pipe is designed and made by Strohm at its facility close to Amsterdam, the Netherlands (TCP). TCP, according to the manufacturer, is less expensive than steel pipe and produces roughly 50% fewer greenhouse gases during manufacturing. Due to TCP’s nature as a flexible pipe, it can be deployed in the same offshore locations as existing array cables. SPIC has created multiple offshore wind farms and is one of the…
Saudi Arabia is well-positioned to take the lead in the environmentally friendly hydrogen industry thanks to its abundant natural resources, modern infrastructure, and ample land. Hydrogen prices vary widely from store to store, but typically range from from $2 to $7 per kilogram. Since renewable energy and natural gas are relatively inexpensive in the UK, living there is relatively inexpensive. The cost of green hydrogen rises due to a correlation between the cost of renewable electricity and the load factor of electrolyzers. KAPSARC calculates how much money, time, and energy Saudi Arabia could save by producing hydrogen instead of oil.…
ICIS has released the industry’s first hydrogen price assessments, which are based on the current value of renewable power. Accurate and reliable pricing instruments aligned to net zero objectives are necessary for investors, policy makers, and participants in the hydrogen industry to make the €500 billion in investments called for by the European Commission’s hydrogen strategy a reality. ICIS’s assessments of renewable hydrogen in Europe cover technologies and places that have been embraced by the market. These assessments are the result of “extensive consultation” with stakeholders in Europe’s energy market. Using ICIS’s multi-commodity energy analysis and Pexapark’s cost projections for…
Neoenergia, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, has agreed to work with Prumo Logstica on offshore wind and green hydrogen projects in Açu Port, Rio de Janeiro. The companies intend to conduct their research at the state’s Porto do Acu, where the port’s infrastructure could be useful to the projects during their installation and operation. However, the Brazilian renewable energy division of the Spanish utility business Iberdrola did not provide any additional information, including the prospective investment or the planned green hydrogen and offshore wind power production capacity. In the past, Neoenergia has signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the Brazilian states…
