Dr. Peter Williams has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of First Hydrogen UK. His appointment will aid in the expansion of First Hydrogen’s UK subsidiary, which is tasked with developing the world’s first hydrogen-fueled and zero-emission utility vehicles, as well as green hydrogen production and distribution. Peter is currently the Head of Investor Relations and Group Technology Director at INEOS, a global chemical company. Prior to joining INEOS, Peter spent more than two decades at British Petroleum (BP), where he held senior positions in business, technology, and strategy. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director for V-Carbon, a company…

The Green Hydrogen project, which DEWA is implementing at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa. The 10,000-square-metre pilot plant was designed and built to accommodate future applications and testing facilities for various hydrogen applications, including energy generation and transportation. Electrolysis using renewable energy sources produces green hydrogen. This technology allows for the long-term storage of large amounts of energy. Hydrogen, for example, can be re-electrified using gas motors, gas turbines, and fuel cells. It can also…

National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, the utility division of National Fuel Gas Company, has announced its participation in the Building the Clean Hydrogen Economy consortium. Consortium members will collaborate to develop and launch innovative pilot projects that use clean hydrogen to decarbonize heavy transportation, increase renewables integration, and decarbonize the US energy sector more broadly, led by Guidehouse, a leading global provider of consulting services to public sector and commercial clients. At least three hydrogen pilot projects are being planned by the consortium’s working groups: heavy duty transportation in the Southwest, green ammonia production in New York, and integrated blue…

The EU is working on a new definition of “green hydrogen.” The Institute of Energy Economics (EWI) published a policy brief that illustrates the potential effects on electrolyzers. A definition of “green” hydrogen is being developed by the European Commission. Hydrogen must be produced using green electricity, according to one of the expected criteria. Furthermore, electricity generated from renewable energy (RE) sources should be timed and balanced with the electrolyser’s electricity consumption. The simultaneity obligation is what it’s called. If the EU interprets this simultaneity obligation strictly, indirect emissions in the electricity sector will decrease, but electrolysers will be significantly…

Bramble Energy has received just under £1 million in government funding from BEIS (Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy) to further develop their hydrogen fuel cell technology, which could save 50,000 tonnes of CO2 per year by replacing diesel engines in boats. The one-of-a-kind fuel cell will serve as the foundation for a fully compliant demonstrator vessel, which is critical for rapid hydrogen adoption on inland waterways. Bramble Energy and its partners will use the funds to form a strong, UK-based commercial consortium to develop a cost-effective fuel cell system for mass maritime decarbonization. Bramble Energy will lead the…

The permit process for the 25 megawatt green hydrogen production unit in Zeebrugge is being managed by Sweco. This is a first for Belgium, and it strengthens the country’s hydrogen ambitions even more. The Hyoffwind consortium (Virya Energy and Fluxys) has chosen John Cockerill and BESIX as their technology partners as well as design and construction partners. It is Sweco’s responsibility to secure the necessary permits and subsidies for this green hydrogen electrolysis plant, which will be built and operated by the company. Green hydrogen developments in the Netherlands and Belgium are being supported by our energy specialists, who have…

Ameresco is a member of the Hydrogen Pilot Project, chosen by a vote from a new consortium called Building the Clean Hydrogen Economy, which was formed by Guidehouse, a leading provider of consulting services. The new consortium’s mission is to develop and launch innovative pilot projects that use clean hydrogen to increase renewables integration and reduce emissions. The hydrogen pilot project will aim to provide a low-carbon, scalable fuel source for heavy transportation along the I-10 corridor between Los Angeles and Phoenix by utilizing clean hydrogen production from existing and future RNG facilities. In September 2021, the company joined the…

Norwegian Hydrogen will provide zero-emission energy solutions to the aquaculture industry. Norwegian Hydrogen AS and Inseanergy AS have formed a strategic partnership. Many fish farms lack access to shore power; in Norway, four out of ten such plants are powered by diesel generators, which emit significant amounts of CO2. Inseanergy has developed a patented floating solar power plant that can assist these plants in producing their own green electricity, thereby reducing a significant portion of their CO2 emissions. When solar power production is low, there is a need for zero-emission energy sources. This is where Norwegian Hydrogen, a producer and…

KBR has been awarded a contract by Shell Global Solutions International to provide professional services for the development of hydrogen liquefaction. To advance hydrogen liquefaction technology for long-distance renewable energy transport, KBR will provide technical solutions as part of concept studies. Mobility, power generation, industrial and domestic heating, and molecular end use markets are all served by LH2, a versatile and adaptable energy source. “We are delighted to be part of this project and to support Shell’s net zero emissions ambition,” said Jay Ibrahim, KBR President – Sustainable Technology Solutions. “This contract aligns with KBR’s strategic decision to provide differentiated…

AES-100, a portfolio company of Aberdeen International, has been renamed Progressus Clean Technologies. An important first step toward commercializing its unique green hydrogen technology and achieving its goal of becoming a leading clean energy company has been taken with the company’s new name and brand “Progressus is the Latin word for advancement, and its suiting because our technology has the ability to transform the way our world uses green energy,” said Channce Fuller, President and CEO of Progressus. “Establishing a new brand and market presence is a key first step to the successful commercialization of our technology. This exciting milestone…
