A safety presentation by Lennie Klebanoff of Sandia National Laboratories underscores the complexities of handling, storing, and transporting hydrogen safely—issues that demand urgent industry-wide attention.

South Africa’s venture into green hydrogen production is gaining momentum as construction commences on a renewable hydrogen plant, anticipated to significantly contribute to the green energy landscape.

Nigeria’s audacious move to harness solar power for its burgeoning green hydrogen economy is underscored by its recent agreement with LONGi Solar France SARL for the supply of 2,600 megawatts (MW) in solar modules.

Taiwan’s HD Renewable Energy (HDRE) and Australia’s ZEN Energy have strategically diversified their energy storage portfolio, targeting a significant portion of the Asia-Pacific region.

The European energy sector is witnessing a significant transformation with the increased integration of renewable energy sources.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a staggering 91% of global electricity generation could be sourced from renewables by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C. However, these renewable sources are inherently unpredictable, introducing volatility into energy systems. This variability underscores the critical importance of efficient energy storage systems (ESS).

CertifHy’s Strategic Partner Expansion for Hydrogen Certification As the hydrogen industry grapples with the intricacies of the EU’s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) standards, CertifHy has taken a pivotal step by appointing three distinguished certification bodies to oversee audits of hydrogen producers. These bodies include Belgium’s Vinçotte and Germany-based TÜD Rheinland and TÜD SÜD, each entrusted with ensuring hydrogen’s compliance with stringent EU directives, particularly concerning renewable energy sourcing and consumption. EU directives stipulate that by 2030, producers seeking subsidies must source electricity from newly constructed renewable sources aligned with the grid’s temporal production schedule. With these upcoming requirements,…
