A $US83 million electrolyzer facility has begun construction at Fortescue Metals Group’s planned Green Manufacturing Center (GEM) in Gladstone, Central Queensland. The facility’s first electrolysers will have a capacity of two Gigawatts per year when they are completed early next year. More than 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen will be produced annually by this increase in production capacity. FFI’s planned green hydrogen ammonia plant on Gisborne Island will use the hydrogen produced. In addition, FFI is aiming to produce 15 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, which would remove 60 million diesel vehicles from the road. With this investment,…

In an effort to expand its hydrogen collaboration project in the Nordic countries, the Nordic Hydrogen Partnership (NHP) has received funding from Nordic Innovation. The Next Wave project will use funding from Nordic Innovation’s Nordic Hydrogen Partnership to push the deployment of heavy-duty hydrogen transportation and infrastructure. Next Wave, NHP’s business venture, aims to energize the Nordic hydrogen technology industry. Hydrogen Norway, Hydrogen Sweden, Hydrogen Denmark, Icelandic New Energy, VTT Tech. Research Finland and Kunnskapsbyen Center of Innovation will collaborate with Everfuel in the second phase of the project. They’ve gained a better understanding of the current state of Nordic…

New hydrogen fuel cell technology developed by South Korea’s Agency for Defense Development (ADD) uses methanol reforming. High-purity hydrogen could be used to improve submarine performance with this technology. The hydrogen produced by the submarine fuel cell technology would be derived from methanol reforming on board the ship. Submarine fuel cells use high-purity H2 to extend their underwater endurance. This means that a vessel’s diving depth, endurance underwater, and overall efficiency can be increased by using a propulsion system that is air-independent. To this day, metal hydride cylinders are the primary means by which hydrogen is delivered to submersibles. Cylinders…

GenCell Energy has made a significant scientific breakthrough that enables the production of green ammonia directly from water at very low temperatures and pressures, compared to traditional ammonia production processes. Following the evaluation of this breakthrough, TDK announced its intention to exercise its right to continue investing in the green ammonia synthesis project under the terms of its agreement with GenCell, allowing the project to progress to the next milestone. States Rami Reshef, co-founder and CEO, GenCell, “We are extremely proud and excited to report this important scientific breakthrough in our efforts to develop a novel approach to producing green…

The German industrial company Thyssenkrupp Nucera has appointed Werner Ponikwar as CEO, effective July 1, as part of a board reorganization in preparation for an upcoming IPO. When Ponikwar was at Linde Hydrogen FuelTech, he was the company’s managing director. Nucera has promoted Denis Krude to the position of COO and deputy CEO. Previously known as Uhde Chlorine Engineers, Nucera manufactures electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen, a product in high demand by businesses looking to reduce their impact on the environment.

With all the talk about hydrogen internal combustion engines, a new subsurface hydrogen program has been launched. Is it possible that the electrolyzer supply issues will jeopardize India’s hydrogen goals? On today’s hydrogen podcast, we’ll talk about all of this and more.

The H2Gate consortium, comprised of Evos, Hydrogenious (Germany), Hysilabs (France), and Electriq Global (Israel), as well as the Port of Amsterdam, has committed to establishing a 100 percent green and safe value chain for the transport, storage, release, and distribution of green hydrogen in the Amsterdam port area and inland industrial regions such as the Ruhrgebied. The consortium’s approach is unique in that it combines multiple carrier technologies that enable the safe transport of green hydrogen, making it an appealing alternative to other carrier technologies with inherent safety challenges. Another advantage is that the existing terminal and nautical infrastructure at…

Upstart Power, a leading developer and manufacturer of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems for long-duration backup and distributed generation, has made two key executive hires to strengthen its leadership team and accelerate the commercialization of its UpgenTM product portfolio. Linda DeJulio-Gribben and Darren Hickey, Vice Presidents of Quality and Fuel Cell Technology, respectively, have recently joined Upstart Power’s executive leadership team. Ms. DeJulio-Gribben is in charge of the company’s Quality and Regulatory teams, which are responsible for delivering exceptional product quality and customer experiences across the company’s product lifecycles. Darren Hickey will be in charge of the company’s…

A global shift toward low-carbon pathways strongly promotes the idea of switching to green hydrogen in order to meet climate goals. However, the predominance of grey hydrogen derived from fossil fuels must be acknowledged and addressed. However, it is expected that the use of grey hydrogen will continue to be critical until the green hydrogen value chain is mature enough to be commercialized. Coal gasification and steam methane reforming (SMR) are the two primary processes currently contributing to the majority of the hydrogen produced globally. Figure 1 can be used to get an idea of how much hydrogen is being…

Greg Hands, the UK’s energy minister, and Tinne Van der Straeten, Belgium’s energy minister, signed an agreement on energy cooperation. This memorandum of understanding strengthens the bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Belgium and allows for closer collaboration on key energy issues such as: electricity interconnection with multiple uses,the wind from the sea,hydrogen with low carbon content,Capture, use, and storage of carbon (CCUS). UK Minister for Energy, Greg Hands said: “I’m pleased to be able to agree today even greater cooperation with our neighbours in Belgium on electricity interconnection. We already have a longstanding energy relationship and this agreement…
