Powerhouse Energy Group and Peel NRE have reached an understanding on modifications to existing contracts. Peel Environmental Limited, Waste2Tricity Limited, Waste2Tricity (Protos) Limited, and Powerhouse Energy Group have extended their collaboration agreement, originally signed on August 9, 2019, until March 31, 2023. The partnership between PHE and Peel to use PHE’s DMG technology on the Protos site was formalized with the signing of a collaboration agreement in August of 2019. In exchange for £500,000, PHE agreed to allow Peel to enter into an exclusivity arrangement with PHE, which would supersede certain terms in the collaboration agreement. Peel will have the…

McDermott has joined an IPMT assembled by Tata Steel IJmuiden to direct the development and implementation of the Heracless hydrogen project. The work is being done at Tata Steel’s facilities in IJmuiden, which is located 19 miles (30 kilometers) east of Amsterdam. The goal of the project is to lay the groundwork for sustainable hydrogen-based steel production at the plant through the installation of Direct Reduced Iron Plant (DRP) and Reducing Electrical Furnace (REF) technology. McDermott’s center of excellence in The Hague, the Netherlands, and Tata Steel’s facilities in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, will be responsible for carrying out the project’s…

The first Power-to-X (PtX) facility for European Energy will be operational in Esbjerg municipality during the first half of 2023. Green hydrogen will be produced at the plant for use by both maritime clients in Esbjerg Harbor and Danish industrial consumers. DIN Forsyning has contracted European Energy to remove waste heat from its manufacturing processes. In the initial stages, this extra heat is enough to warm 200 typical homes. Connected straight to Made’s massive windmills, this facility is ideal for harnessing their power. Only renewable energy produced in the area is used. Therefore, the surplus heat that DIN Forsyning absorbs…

In order to foster Lingang free trade zone’s growth into a major centre for the hydrogen industry, the Shanghai government has released a policy package. As part of the package, plans have been drawn up for the construction of port terminals for the shipment of green hydrogen, stations for fueling future fleets of hydrogen-powered vehicles, and pilot facilities for producing green hydrogen using wind and solar power. It also includes starting demonstration projects for hydrogen-powered trucks and buses to run in the zone and luring fuel cell electric car manufacturers to set up shop in Lingang. To help corporations all…

In order to facilitate the production of green hydrogen, ammonia, and associated products in India, Posco Holdings and Greenko subsidiary ZeroC have formed a strategic alliance. Greenko’s pumped hydro storage platform and energy storage cloud will be used to continuously deliver renewable power to the green ammonia factory, and the partners intend to collaboratively develop solar and wind capacity as part of this effort. Opportunities for both firms to work together include the export of Posco’s steel materials and their use in the development of infrastructure in India, as well as the generation of competitive renewable energy and the supply…

The Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC) purchased a 5kW fuel cell generator from H2X Global. Hydrogen Centre of Excellence in Queensland, Australia, will make use of a 5 kW fuel cell generator to provide emission-free electricity. PICAC will install a Power H2 unit, which runs on hydrogen fuel cells and has a small hydrogen storage tank. When it opens in October, Australia’s first dedicated hydrogen training facility will be housed here. The Sydney-based Pure Hydrogen, which has a 23% share in H2X Global, managed the sale of the demonstration vehicle.

Topsoe has made the final investment decision (FID) to build the largest SOEC electrolyzer factory in Herning, Denmark. The current annual production capacity of the plant is 500 MW, with room to grow to 5 GW. The first offtake deal has been inked by the company. The corporation is putting in over DKK 2 billion ($270 million), making this their largest investment ever. The new plant will be the largest SOEC factory in the world in terms of annual production capacity, at 500 MW. This is a big step forward for Topsoe, Denmark, and the EU in their efforts to…

The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) has selected Tree Energy Solutions (TES), E.ON, and ENGIE to collaborate on the development and implementation of Germany’s fifth Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU). Starting in the early heating season of 2023, Germany’s fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) will have an annual importing capacity of about 5bcm and help the country become more energy independent and secure by mid-century. TES is constructing Europe’s largest Green Energy Hub in Wilhelmshaven, using a novel approach to transform abundant clean electricity generated in sunny and windy regions into clean hydrogen and…

Energinet and Gasunie have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expedite the development of cross-border hydrogen infrastructure between Denmark and Germany. The critical decision gates on the path to final investment decisions will also be analyzed and outlined by Energinet and Gasunie. A techno-economic prefeasibility study conducted by Energinet and Gasunie Deutschland last year found that Denmark had the ability to meet 10-25% of future German hydrogen consumption. Since then, the Folketing has made several bold political agreements about Power-to-X and the tremendous increase of renewable energy. In light of this, Energinet has begun a feasibility study to determine…

The UK’s leading hydrogen association will meet with lawmakers in September to discuss how best to get the country to net zero emissions. The rally, dubbed “Seizing the UK’s Hydrogen Opportunity,” will bring together businesses and organizations from the energy, transport, and industrial sectors with members of parliament and representatives from the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association in an effort to lobby the government on three key priorities for the hydrogen economy. Among these include quickening the pace of hydrogen storage research and development, crafting a workable transportation strategy, and establishing trustworthy industry guidelines, standards, and regulations. The UK…
