At Unilever’s Port Sunlight factory in the North West, 100 percent hydrogen was used to power the production of personal care and home care products. The demonstration, led by Progressive Energy, is part of the larger ‘HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching’ Program. As soon as low carbon hydrogen is available from the HyNet project, the Program will provide evidence to enable major manufacturing sites to switch to it. Unilever’s Port Sunlight factory, which has been producing household brands and products since 1888, is an important part of the North West’s industrial heritage. Unilever products such as TRESemme and Persil will be…

SFC Energy and Wacker Chemie have signed a letter of intent for renewable methanol distribution. WACKER plans to supply SFC Energy with up to 2,000 metric tons of methanol from the RHYME Bavaria project planned for its Burghausen site beginning in 2025, according to the letter. SFC Energy plans to offer this methanol as a low-emission fuel for use in its customers’ methanol fuel cells. As a decentralized power supply, these cells are used in private, commercial, and governmental applications. A 20-megawatt electrolysis plant is being built as part of the RHYME Bavaria project. This plant will use renewable electricity…

Nuvera Fuel Cells, a manufacturer of heavy-duty, zero-emission fuel cell engines for on- and off-road mobility and other applications, has formed a strategic partnership with Dayco. This partnership combines the strengths of both companies to design and develop advanced fully integrated fuel cell solutions for a variety of commercial vehicles, stationary, industrial, and mobile applications. Dayco and Nuvera are working together to develop integrated fuel cell electric power solutions for a future that is both sustainable and clean.

Plagazi has hired PowerCell Sweden to conduct a feasibility study to see if PowerCell’s innovative fuel cell technology could be used in Köping Hydrogen Park. PowerCell Sweden provides the most compact and robust fuel cell systems on the market, which can be used as a sustainable backup generator for Köping Hydrogen Park or as a converting mechanism to allow Plagazi to sell green electricity generated from green hydrogen directly to the power grid while also providing district heating to Köping. The collaboration of two leading green energy innovators has the potential to further evolve the market and combine the two…

As the industry leaders sign a letter of intent (LOI) on a record-breaking offtake agreement for green fuels in the maritime industry, Ørsted will develop a Power-to-X facility on the US Gulf Coast to fuel Maersk’s newly ordered fleet of 12 methanol-powered vessels. The global maritime industry’s greenhouse gas emissions have increased dramatically over the last two decades, accounting for roughly 2% of all global energy-related emissions. The maritime sector urgently requires new zero-emission fuels at scale to reduce its climate impact as the world races to combat climate change. A.P. Moller – Maersk and Ørsted have now signed a…

Independence Hydrogen, a veteran-owned and operated supplier of gaseous hydrogen solutions, has been purchased by Suburban Propane Partners for $30.0 million. As part of its long-term strategy to develop a renewable energy platform, the Partnership also announced the establishment of a new subsidiary, Suburban Renewable Energy. We at Suburban Propane are committed to supporting the transition of the entire economy to a sustainable energy future by investing in and fostering innovative solutions and by promoting the clean energy benefits of propane. Decarbonizing material handling, transportation, and heavy industry sectors, and ensuring grid resiliency for intermittent renewable energy sources, necessitates the…

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has awarded a grant to Hino USA, which will be used to promote new energy and environmental technology alongside Hino Motors. Hino’s Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell trucks will be put to the test in California ports as a result of the grant. Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Toyota Tsusho America, Mitsui E&S Machinery and PACECO CORP, along with Hino, are involved in a joint study that will run through March 2026. Zero-emission truck technology can help improve air quality at ports and in environmentally disadvantaged communities where California’s initiative is focused, and…

Air Products will build, own, and operate a 10 metric ton per day facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, to produce green liquid hydrogen. Hydrogen for mobility in California and other places requiring zero-carbon hydrogen will be sold by the zero-carbon liquid hydrogen facility when it comes online in 2023. For the production of gaseous hydrogen, the facility will use two thyssenkrupp nucera electrolyzers, which will then be converted to liquid hydrogen using Air Products’ proprietary technology. It will also have a terminal for distributing products to customer locations throughout California and other markets. The entire Air Products facility is powered…

To aid the growth of the hydrogen industry in the province, the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) and Geoscience BC came to an agreement to work together. In the agreement, the CHFCA and Geoscience BC outline various areas of collaboration. There are numerous opportunities for growth in these areas, such as stimulating regional economic development and identifying B.C.’s geological carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) targets. In addition, geoscience and innovative earth science technologies can be used to address technical gaps and facilitate low-carbon intensity hydrogen production. Additionally, the two organizations will collaborate on identifying new hydrogen-related earth…
