Levidian Nanosystems and Zero Carbon Ventures announced a new £700 million UK clean-tech export deal, which will see the deployment of 500+ LOOP systems in the UAE and the production of clean hydrogen. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, the LOOP50 can be used to produce clean hydrogen from waste gas. Levidian LOOP10 will be installed at an IDC-owned facility in Abu Dhabi as part of the partnership. For the distribution of high-quality graphene and hydrogen in the UAE, the LOOP systems will form a critical supply chain.

An international team of scientists from SINTEF and NTNU is developing new technologies and concepts to reduce offshore production’s carbon footprint. The LowEmission research center is where this work is being done. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas industry by 40% in 2030, the goal is to contribute. Many gas turbines are used to power the platforms, which scientists are interested in investigating. “At present, natural gas is burnt in gas turbines to generate electricity for platform operation. This is a well-established technology with many advantages, including low investment costs. However, offshore gas turbines…

Vattenfall is launching Sweden’s first hydrogen gas-fueled fuel cell plant for backup power for broadband networks, in collaboration with Ballard Power Systems and IT Norrbotten. In the event of prolonged power outages in cold climates, the plant in Verkalix will ensure uninterrupted broadband and digital communications. “The new fuel cell plant is a further step forward in our ambition to work with partners to create fossil-free solutions that can simultaneously deliver back-up power for a significantly longer time than previous solutions. This means that telecoms operations can be maintained both sustainably and for a long time, even in areas that…

The Fertiberia Group and Iberdrola have inaugurated Europe’s largest green hydrogen and green ammonia plant for industrial use. “The milestone we achieved today at our Puertollano plant makes us the first company in the world to manufacture green ammonia and CO2-free crop nutrition solutions on an industrial scale” noted Marc van Doorn from Fertiberia Group. With an investment of €1.8 billion and the installation of 800 MW of electrolysis by 2027, the Puertollano green hydrogen project is the first in a partnership between the two companies to put Spain at the forefront of green hydrogen in Europe. Iberdrola plans to…

As it expands its downstream presence in Asia, Aramco is looking into further collaboration with Thailand’s national oil company, PTT. The companies want to improve their collaboration in sourcing crude oil and marketing refining and petrochemical products, as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG). Blue and green hydrogen, as well as various clean energy initiatives, are other potential areas of activity. Ibrahim Al-Buainain, Aramco Vice President Sales, Trading and Supply Planning, said: “Today represents an important step forward as we deepen and broaden this relationship to achieve greater cooperation across a wide range of activities, from sourcing crude oil and…

The Chemours Company participates in a fundraising campaign for Versogen, a leader in the development of anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology for use in hydrogen production based in Wilmington, Delaware. Versogen’s AEM technology, developed by University of Delaware professor Yushan Yan, provides a reliable and cost-effective way to produce green hydrogen at scale. Green hydrogen is the most promising alternative fuel for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in transportation and other fossil-fuel-dependent industries. Large amounts of green hydrogen can be produced with zero emissions when produced using water electrolysis and renewable energy. This procedure is necessary for the clean energy transition…

Through the sale of its Dutch interests to Volt Energy BV, Vision Hydrogen Corporation has monetized its 100% interest in its Vlissingen green hydrogen development project and its 50% interest in its Terneuzen green hydrogen development project. The purchaser paid a total consideration of USD $23,6 million, consisting of USD $11,2 million in cash and 1,768,182 shares of the company’s common stock valued at the current market price of $7.00 per share, bringing the total number of outstanding common shares to 19,548,776. Before transaction costs, the cash proceeds realized by the company represent a payment of approximately $0.58 cents per…

In order to provide a decarbonization solution for French and European rail freight, Hydrogène de France and Captrain France, a subsidiary of SNCF, signed a partnership agreement for the development of hydrogen locomotives. The HyShunt project, a retrofit project of a locomotive currently powered by a diesel engine, will be the first step in HDF Energy and Captrain’s collaboration. This locomotive will be retrofitted with a decarbonized electric propulsion system powered by green or low-carbon hydrogen, via a high-powered fuel cell system manufactured and integrated by HDF Energy, with a power output of around 700 kW. In France today, rail…

Since its launch five weeks ago, Emirates Team New Zealand has been commissioning and testing their hydrogen-powered foiling chase boat ‘Chase Zero’ on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf.

The Aotearoa New Zealand goal of zero emissions by 2050 creates a sense of urgency and pressure to produce enough green hydrogen and store it safely for the future.
