Andersen previously worked at Saga Pure as an investment manager. Andersen has a master’s degree in business administration from BI Norwegian Business School and an MBA from ESCP Business School.

Over NIS 23 million will be spent on first-of-its-kind innovative energy projects, Israel’s Energy Ministry said. Nineteen entrepreneurs will get money for their energy products because they answered the government’s call for new ideas in the fields of smart transportation, water supply, and energy efficiency. Among the main investments made by the Energy Ministry this year, worth about NIS 12 million, is a project that focuses on the development and use of hydrogen as a fuel for trucks and other vehicles that move goods. Hydrogen would be very useful as a fuel for heavy-duty vehicles because it has a lot…

Hanwha Systems is working on hydrogen-powered urban air mobility (UAM) and hopes to have it on the market in 2035. It can be used for long-distance transportation if it can fly for more than two hours. Hanwha Systems plans to start making hydrogen electric UAM gas for commercial use by 2035, based on the hydrogen fuel cell for UAM that Hanwha Aerospace has made. Hanwha Systems is working with US Over Air to make a UAM plane called “Butterfly.” First, it wants to make a battery-electric UAM and get a type certification (TC) from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)…

Sasol, a company that wants to make green hydrogen, has set aside R350 million to repurpose an existing electrolyzer in Sasolburg, South Africa, to make green hydrogen. The “proof-of-concept project” is likely to be fully operational in 18 to 24 months, producing up to five tonnes of green hydrogen and, possibly, green ammonia every single day. The long-term items for the repurposing project were ordered in November of last year. Sasol is also moving to buy 60 MW of extra renewable energy to power the plant. In an electrolyser, renewable electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.…

Uniper and Salzgitter signed a cooperation agreement. The goal is for Uniper to provide the SALCOS project in Salzgitter with green hydrogen at a competitive price so that it can make steel that is good for the environment. Uniper is a company that makes energy all over the world. They are also a leader in the hydrogen field. Salzgitter is one of Europe’s largest steel producers and is leading the way to make steel that doesn’t use a lot of CO2. The two companies are working together to get hydrogen from Wilhelmshaven, where Uniper is working on two projects for…

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, came up with a cheap way to make a lot of hydrogen fuel. They used the reactivity of aluminum to do it. Scientists have been trying to figure out how to use aluminum’s ability to remove oxygen from water molecules to make hydrogen gas for a long time now. A new study in Applied Nano Materials shows how the team of researchers made gallium and aluminum nanoparticles that react quickly with water to make hydrogen. They did this by making a cheap composite of gallium and aluminum, which they then used to…

Moray Council in Scotland has hired Mott MacDonald to work on its hydrogen strategy. By 2030, Moray Council wants to be carbon neutral, and by 2045, it wants to be carbon-free. The hydrogen strategy will be a big part of both of these goals. The strategy, which is partly funded by the Highlands and Islands Executive (HIE), will also look into ways for businesses in Moray, like the whisky and offshore renewables industries, to use hydrogen as a source of energy. The strategy will help the Council think about its future energy needs and show how hydrogen can be a…

As part of the global green hydrogen revolution, Hexagon AB and The Hydrogen Utility (H2U), a have signed a strategic partnership agreement. This means that Hexagon will help H2U provide best digital asset management solutions in support of the global green hydrogen revolution. H2U’s unique plant designs for green hydrogen and green ammonia are part of the partnership. Hexagon has a lot of experience with integrating digital ecosystems into industrial facilities. The ability to make engineering and operational digital twins that are compatible with new global standards for information management is very important for supporting the rapid deployment scenarios needed…

myFC has been able to make business contacts and start commercial projects in Asia and Europe. As a result of these successes, the company is now expanding into the North American market with the same commercialization strategy. This is done in conjunction with the Swedish Energy Agency’s (Energimyndigheten) accelerator program, which can grant up to SEK 600,000 in grants. Intralogistics and soft mobility are mostly driven by how much people buy, and the North American market (led by the United States) will be the world’s biggest by 2020, according to the World Bank Open Data. In addition, a lot of…

Is green hydrogen the key to a future energy system that is carbon-free? Prof. Craig Buckley of Curtin University’s Hydrogen Storage Research Group appears on the new episode of the podcast to discuss how he is working to make green hydrogen a viable energy source in the future.
