Turkmenistan’s oil and gas university has established a Hydrogen Energy Center. The Hydrogen Energy Center, which opened almost two months ago on the campus of the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International University of Oil and Gas, is now operational. The Center’s main task is to train high-level specialists and to establish international scientific cooperation in this field, as well as to conduct research, develop, and implement innovative scientific and educational programs in order to establish and develop the hydrogen energy industry in Turkmenistan. The Center’s experts will develop and make proposals for the introduction of advanced innovative technologies for the production of…

The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, part of METI, has contracted the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to conduct its Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project Utilizing Very High Temperature, and has begun a program to produce hydrogen using a High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor as of this fiscal year (HTTR). Under this program, a newly constructed hydrogen production plant will be connected to a JAEA-owned HTTR with the goal of demonstrating hydrogen production technology using the HTTR’s high temperature heat. The licensing procedure, equipment modifications, and testing, as well as the determination of specific renovations…

MOL Group has partnered with Plug Power to construct one of Europe’s largest green hydrogen production facilities at MOL’s Danube Refinery in Százhalombatta, Hungary. Green hydrogen will reduce the Danube Refinery’s carbon footprint and enable emission-free mobility in the long run. MOL’s €22 million facility, which will use a 10-megawatt (MW) electrolysis unit from Plug Power, will be able to produce approximately 1,600 tons of clean, carbon-neutral, green hydrogen annually, removing up to 25,000 tons of CO2 by displacing the current natural gas-based production process. Because this process accounts for one-sixth of MOL Group’s carbon dioxide emissions, this investment supports…

Nel Hydrogen Fueling, a subsidiary of Nel ASA has received two firm purchase orders from a European client for H2Station modules. “We are very pleased to receive these orders from the client for the H2Station systems. The H2Station is our state-of-the-art generation which is developed for fast refueling of heavy-duty vehicles, such as buses and trucks. We are grateful for the trust the company has shown us and the fact that we continue to support making hydrogen available as part of the electrification of the transport sector”, says Christian Vinther, Regional Sales Manager of Nel Hydrogen Fueling. The purchase orders…

The demolition of the former SGN Commercial Services gas holder site in Inverness has begun, according to Getech, a geoenergy and green hydrogen company. SGN is responsible for the demolition and clearance of the site, which is expected to take 12 weeks. Getech will begin the development of its planned green hydrogen facilities after this work is completed, pending necessary approvals. At the same time, Getech is working on the engineering design for the green hydrogen production, storage, and dispensing facilities in Inverness, which it plans to expand into a regional Highlands hydrogen network. Dr. Jonathan Copus, Getech’s Chief Executive…

A pioneering project announced by Britain’s largest gas network companies will focus on the role hydrogen can play in helping London become net zero carbon by 2030. Cadent, SGN, and National Grid Gas Transmission will collaborate to create a hydrogen vision for the capital, outlining the potential benefits and opportunities for London and the United Kingdom. These goals include lowering emissions, creating jobs and skills, increasing future energy independence, and providing more comfort to Londoners, particularly the most vulnerable. The infrastructure companies will collaborate to produce a feasibility study for the transition of London’s gas network to hydrogen. They are…

The Greene Waste to Energy SME, the Technological Institute of Energy (ITE), and the Valencian Community Energy Cluster (CECV) are working on an innovative project that will combine two hot topics in the energy sector: green hydrogen generation and the circular economy. The project is based on the production of hydrogen using gasification techniques from waste rejection mixtures that end up in landfills, as well as simulation models for optimizing the process. SIGEN2H2 is an ambitious project because the use of this waste implies a circular economy and production routines. SIGEN2H2’s main goal is to find the best methods for…

A deal has been signed on April 26 with the goal to look into the possibility of establishing Canada’s “first” bright green hydrogen facility. With a $1.2 billion investment, the facility could produce up to 1 million tonnes of hydrogen, which would be a significant step forward for Canada’s hydrogen economy. Fort Nelson First Nation and Hydrogen Naturally are working on a project that will incorporate natural air carbon capture and storage to reduce the project’s overall carbon footprint. Harvest residuals and residual fibre that are not currently used for high-value solid wood products will be used to generate hydrogen…

Terrestrial Energy USA has joined the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), a national trade group for the rapidly expanding fuel cell and hydrogen industries. FCHEA and Terrestrial Energy both agree that hydrogen has a lot of potential as a clean energy source for industrial and other applications that can help the economy decarbonize. FCHEA, based in Washington, represents more than 80 hydrogen and fuel cell companies and organizations working to advance innovative, clean, safe, and reliable energy technologies. In industrial applications, such as the production of low-carbon steel, cement, or ammonia for fertilizer or fuels, there is a…

Metacon, in collaboration with GISAB, has signed a contract with Botnia Hydrogen for the supply of two electrolysis-based integrated Green Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) worth approximately 56 MSEK. Botnia Hydrogen, a company founded by Zelk Energy, has signed a contract with Metacon to purchase two hydrogen refueling stations that will be integrated with electrolysis-based hydrogen production. The stations, which will be located in Pite and Arvidsjaur in northern Sweden, will be able to refuel 200 and 400 kg of hydrogen per day at 350 and 700 bar. GISAB will provide the stations with turn-key balance of plant work as well…
