Oracle Power has entered in to a joint venture agreement with the Private Office of His Highness Shaikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum (represented through Kaheel Energy), with the objective of advancing the company’s green hydrogen project in Pakistan. As part of its joint venture, Oracle Energy will invest in and operate a facility in Sindh, Pakistan, to produce green hydrogen, which will then be used for the storage, transportation, and sale of the product. Oracle Energy, a Pakistani limited liability company, will receive 70:30 funding from Kaheel Energy and Oracle Power. Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented: “This is a…

After receiving funding from the state government’s Renewable Hydrogen Commercialisation Pathways Fund, Volgren will construct its first hydrogen fuel cell electric bus at its Dandenong headquarters. Volgren anticipates that by the middle of 2023, he will have completed a prototype for demonstration and on-road testing of the hydrogen fuel cell bus. Negotiations with a suitable chassis OEM are also underway. According to Volgren, the development of prototype hydrogen fuel cell buses will allow the company to design the hydrogen-powered bus for local conditions while also working toward continuous hydrogen vehicle production. A critical component of the development process will be…

Hydrogen purification can be simplified by using a pump equipped with membrane materials developed by Chris Arges, an associate professor of chemical engineering at Penn State. For the first time, researchers have achieved a recovery rate of 98.8% from a conventional water-cooled water gas shift reactor’s exit stream of 98.8% hydrogen, which is the highest value ever recorded. In ACS Energy Letters, the team explained their strategy in detail. A water gas shift reactor is used in traditional hydrogen separation methods, which necessitates an additional step. Carbon monoxide is first converted to carbon dioxide in the water gas shift reactor,…

The largest single-stack electrolyzer in Europe, from Sunfire, has gone into operation for food retailer MPREIS. MPREIS, an Austrian food retailer, plans to use green hydrogen to reduce CO2 emissions by hundreds of thousands of tons. For this, Sunfire has installed Europe’s largest single-stack electrolyzer. The Demo4Grid project has set new sustainability standards for MPREIS’s decarbonization strategy by substituting green hydrogen for natural gas and diesel. Basis of the system: a Sunfire pressurized alkaline electrolyzer from Germany. The plant converts water into hydrogen and oxygen at a rate of 3.2 MW. Pressure is maintained at 30 bar throughout the process.…

For the Port Kembla Lateral Pipeline project, Jemena Asset Management awarded the contract to CPW America, a wholly owned subsidiary of its steel pipe segment, Corinth Pipeworks. About 13 kilometers of 18-inch diameter High Frequency Welded (HFW) line pipe will be covered by the contract, which includes FBE coating, internal epoxy lining, and the supply of induction bends and is certified to transport up to 100% hydrogen. Within the year 2022, Corinth Pipeworks in Greece will produce and ship the HFW pipes directly to Australia. To connect the planned Port Kembla Energy Terminal to the existing 797-mile Eastern Gas Pipeline,…

According to the Canada Renewable Hydrogen Alliance (CRENHA), a public-private consortium has been formed in order to close supply chain gaps in the country’s domestic fuel cell and green hydrogen supply chains. The CRENHA announced the formation of FCH-Bridge, a new public-private consortium committed to accelerating the development of a robust and secure domestic supply chain for fuel cell and green hydrogen technology. For the first time in Canada’s green hydrogen industry, FCH-Bridge is expected to focus on bringing together key stakeholders to improve the green hydrogen supply chain and fuel cell manufacturing. Hydrogen supply chain companies and industries from…

Hexagon Purus and CIMC Enric signed investment agreements to establish a joint production facility in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, and the CIMC-Hexagon New Energy Technologies management office and engineering hub in Beijing Daxing District International Hydrogen Development Zone, respectively. China’s government has pledged to support the CIMC-HEXAGON business in Shijiazhuang and Beijing Daxing through 2030, as well. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and the distribution of hydrogen in China and Southeast Asia, the world’s largest zero-emission hydrogen vehicle market, will be covered by joint venture agreements previously signed by Hexagon Purus and CIMC Enric in 2021. “As part of our global expansion…

CLARA Energy congratulates the governments of New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland on their Hydrogen Highway announcement. Tarcutta, in the state of New South Wales, is home to one of the world’s largest green hydrogen production facilities. Between Sydney and Melbourne, Tarcutta serves as a compass point. Because of its proximity to the Hume Highway and the 4,000 heavy-haul trucks that pass through its gate each day, CLARA Energy’s project is an Australian first mover in green hydrogen at scale and is in line with the government’s Hydrogen Highways strategy. The heavy-haul transportation sector must be decarbonized by using green…

Heliogen and Woodside Energy (USA) have agreed to build a commercial-scale demonstration of Heliogen’s AI-enabled concentrated solar energy technology. Woodside granted Heliogen a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) to begin procurement of key equipment for the deployment of a commercial-scale, single-module 5 megawatt electric (5 MWe) facility. The Project Agreement follows the previously announced LNTP. Construction is expected to begin as soon as the permits are approved, as Heliogen will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction. This agreement includes Heliogen’s US$39 million award from the US Department of Energy for the deployment of Heliogen’s renewable energy technology in…
