Research and development of environmentally friendly hydrogen production and storage will be the focus of Norvento’s participation in the ZEPPELIN consortium. The consortium, led by Aqualia, will look into new ways to produce green hydrogen as an alternative to electrolysis, which is currently the most widely used method of producing hydrogen. This will help promote a circular economy by revaluing waste and waste products from various industries, such as agri-food, textiles, refineries, and wastewater treatment facilities. While most hydrogen is generated from fossil fuels, only 1% is generated from renewable sources. It is expected that by 2030, 25% of the…

Faculty and staff at Campus do Pici, led by Prof. Prisco Bezerra, hosted a delegation from Rectory, the Federal University of Ceará. The Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Laboratory of Hydrogen and Thermal Machines received an investment of more than R$ 500 thousand on the occasion. The goal is to adapt the site’s facilities to allow for research partnerships, with a primary focus on green hydrogen studies. As a result, a space fuel research facility is being considered. The University of Porto do Pecém collaborates with the state government to plan, research, and build a hydrogen production hub in the city.…

STM and GÜRBAĞ have signed a strategic cooperation agreement in the fields of “Hydrogen Energy and Propulsion Solutions” and “Stabilized Pan-Tilt and Laser Communication Solutions.” According to the requirements of developing technology, the partnership was signed in the fields of “Hydrogen Energy and Propulsion Solutions” and “Stabilized Pan-Tilt and Laser Communication Solutions.” Field application and productization will be implemented in the areas of collaboration, R&D, and R&D. General Manager Özgür Güleryüz of STM claims that the agreement is the first of its kind in Turkey in this field. The goal, according to Güleryüz, is to use hydrogen energy to improve the…

Hydrogen safety management will be implemented starting on the 5th of this month, according to an announcement made by Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. Manufacturing permits and licenses for hydrogen products such as hydrogen production facilities, mobile fuel cells, and fixed fuel cells are required in the Hydrogen Act’s safety management area. The registration system and safety inspections are the primary objectives. The Korea Gas Safety Corporation must conduct a technical review and issue a manufacturing license to domestic hydrogen product manufacturers. The Gas Safety Corporation conducts a technical review and a factory inspection, and then the Ministry…

Researchers at the National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI” are working on new environmentally friendly catalysts for producing hydrogen from water, as well as materials for storing and transporting this fuel. Researchers at the university hope their findings will lead to more affordable, environmentally friendly, and safe hydrogen energy. Hydrogen can be produced in a variety of ways, the simplest of which is electrolysis, which involves splitting water using an electric current. Solar panels and nuclear power plants, both of which do not use carbon fuel, are examples of current sources. There is an active research effort at the NRNU MEPhI…

A leading US power and gas utility has awarded a contract to Nel Hydrogen US, a Nel subsidiary, for a containerized PEM electrolyzer and light duty hydrogen fueling station package. For a power plant in the United States, Nel Hydrogen US has been awarded a contract for a containerized PEM electrolyzer and 700 bar H2Station hydrogen fueling equipment package. In addition to cooling turbine generators and injecting hydrogen into the natural gas fuel stream at the plant, this project will demonstrate the use of green hydrogen to fuel a fleet of light-duty fuel cell vehicles operated by the utility. Solar…

The International University of Andalusia in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) will hold its first Meeting on Green Hydrogen on February 10 to discuss the replacement of traditional fuels based on oil and coal with hydrogen from renewable energies in various sectors, as well as the consequences and challenges posed by the Hydrogen Roadmap. In the seminar, José Manuel Andjar Márquez, director of the Center for Research in Technology, Energy, and Sustainability at the University of Huelva, will discuss ‘the uses and advantages of green hydrogen’ However, Huelva University professor Mara del Carmen Sánchez Carrillo, director of the secretariat of…

Equinor has joined the Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS) as a member organization. With its headquarters in Stavanger, Norway, Equinor serves as a world-class oil and gas company committed to providing affordable energy for society and taking the lead in accelerating the growth of renewables and pioneering the development of value chains for carbon capture as well as hydrogen. The addition of Equinor to the group of more than 70 world-renowned organizations dedicated to safe hydrogen use and information exchange further strengthens the already impressive membership roster. As part of Equinor’s early-stage efforts to convert natural gas to low-carbon hydrogen,…

Enersense and P2X have agreed to form a significant partnership in relation to both the construction and later maintenance of the hydrogen production plant. The news follows Enersense’s announcement that it will invest EUR 13 million in P2X Solutions Oy. In terms of the investment, P2X announced that it has approved a EUR 70 million investment decision for the construction of Finland’s first green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta. The green hydrogen production plant in the Harjavalta Industrial Park will have a capacity of 20 MW, and construction will begin in the autumn of 2022. The plant’s construction is expected…

HydrogenPro has signed a contract with Mitsubishi Power Americas for the initial delivery of 40 electrolysers, making it one of the largest electrolyzer system contracts ever signed. HydrogenPro’s scope of work is valued at over USD 50 million at the outset of the contract. Other companies will provide the EPC and other system deliverables needed to build a turnkey electrolyser green hydrogen production plant. In the United States, the green hydrogen will be used to generate electricity. “This is a major breakthrough for HydrogenPro. It demonstrates that our technology is well suited for large-scale projects such as this, which will…
