As the industry leaders sign a letter of intent (LOI) on a record-breaking offtake agreement for green fuels in the maritime industry, Ørsted will develop a Power-to-X facility on the US Gulf Coast to fuel Maersk’s newly ordered fleet of 12 methanol-powered vessels. The global maritime industry’s greenhouse gas emissions have increased dramatically over the last two decades, accounting for roughly 2% of all global energy-related emissions. The maritime sector urgently requires new zero-emission fuels at scale to reduce its climate impact as the world races to combat climate change. A.P. Moller – Maersk and Ørsted have now signed a…

Independence Hydrogen, a veteran-owned and operated supplier of gaseous hydrogen solutions, has been purchased by Suburban Propane Partners for $30.0 million. As part of its long-term strategy to develop a renewable energy platform, the Partnership also announced the establishment of a new subsidiary, Suburban Renewable Energy. We at Suburban Propane are committed to supporting the transition of the entire economy to a sustainable energy future by investing in and fostering innovative solutions and by promoting the clean energy benefits of propane. Decarbonizing material handling, transportation, and heavy industry sectors, and ensuring grid resiliency for intermittent renewable energy sources, necessitates the…

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has awarded a grant to Hino USA, which will be used to promote new energy and environmental technology alongside Hino Motors. Hino’s Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell trucks will be put to the test in California ports as a result of the grant. Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Toyota Tsusho America, Mitsui E&S Machinery and PACECO CORP, along with Hino, are involved in a joint study that will run through March 2026. Zero-emission truck technology can help improve air quality at ports and in environmentally disadvantaged communities where California’s initiative is focused, and…

Air Products will build, own, and operate a 10 metric ton per day facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, to produce green liquid hydrogen. Hydrogen for mobility in California and other places requiring zero-carbon hydrogen will be sold by the zero-carbon liquid hydrogen facility when it comes online in 2023. For the production of gaseous hydrogen, the facility will use two thyssenkrupp nucera electrolyzers, which will then be converted to liquid hydrogen using Air Products’ proprietary technology. It will also have a terminal for distributing products to customer locations throughout California and other markets. The entire Air Products facility is powered…

To aid the growth of the hydrogen industry in the province, the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) and Geoscience BC came to an agreement to work together. In the agreement, the CHFCA and Geoscience BC outline various areas of collaboration. There are numerous opportunities for growth in these areas, such as stimulating regional economic development and identifying B.C.’s geological carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) targets. In addition, geoscience and innovative earth science technologies can be used to address technical gaps and facilitate low-carbon intensity hydrogen production. Additionally, the two organizations will collaborate on identifying new hydrogen-related earth…

According to a study commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, excess electricity from offshore wind and other renewables can be used to meet rising demand for green hydrogen (RVO). According to the Offshore Wind System Integration 2030-2040 report, dedicated electrolysis in conjunction with offshore wind can help relieve grid congestion. Guidehouse and Berenschot investigated the Dutch onshore grids and energy system in relation to offshore wind energy in collaboration with Gasunie and TenneT. The study’s National scenario assumes 38.5 GW of installed capacity by 2040, while the International, European, and Regional scenarios assume 31 GW. By the middle of the…

New green hydrogen project from EDF Renewables will help the Teesside area of the UK become a hub for hydrogen technologies. Renewable energy from offshore wind farms will be used to generate green hydrogen in a new project near Hartlepool. Hydrogen will be supplied to hard-to-abate sectors in an effort to reduce carbon emissions by the local and national governments. The electrolyser’s capacity and ability to generate green hydrogen will be increased by using solar energy from the proposed Tees Solar Farm.

In order to produce net-zero glass, VRX Silica Limited has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Xodus to explore the supply of renewable hydrogen to the company’s silica sand projects as well as potential, nearby glass-manufacturing facilities in the future. VRX is exploring the possibility of developing glass-manufacturing facilities at Arrowsmith and Muchea, both of which have silica sand of high quality and volume, as well as close proximity to energy infrastructure, in consultation with the Western Australian Government and significant international industry players. The production of glass necessitates large amounts of energy. Net-zero glass production may be…

An agreement signed by Ceres and Horiba MIRA will expand the UK’s supply of new fuel cell and hydrogen technology to international markets. Green hydrogen can be produced using Ceres’ fuel cells and electrolysis technology. In addition to Bosch, Weichai, Doosan, and Miura, it already provides fuel cell technologies to a wide range of global partners. With this agreement, Horiba MIRA will get a new 240m2 test facility, as well as additional agreements for the development of next-generation testing infrastructure to support Ceres’ core technology and system development. As part of their collaboration with Ceres, the Horiba group will also…

Electric and hydrogen truck pioneer Tevva, has appointed Ian Harnett as the Chairman. Ian succeeds David Roberts, who will remain on the board as a non-executive director. He has been appointed to Tevva’s Remuneration and Audit Committees. Tevva’s non-executive directorship was established on 5 August 2021 to support the company’s strategy of expanding its fleet and market presence. To Tevva, he brings more than 38 years of automotive experience, having been promoted to Director of Purchasing at Jaguar Land Rover in 2009. When Ian was promoted to Executive Director of Human Resources and Global Purchasing in April of this year,…
