French researchers and a company specializing in PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolysis signed an agreement to collaborate on research and development of PEM electrolysis. With this promising technology, they will collaborate to produce low-carbon hydrogen on a large scale. Elogen and the University of Paris-Sclay are taking a new step in their nearly twenty-year partnership. At the signing of a new agreement, a new PEM electrolysis research program will be formed, bringing together all of the available resources and technical expertise. By working on research projects, Paris-Saclay students will be a part of this collaboration. There will be numerous benefits…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and AGL Energy are investigating the possibility of generating green hydrogen at two coal-fired power plants in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley. An agreement has been signed between Fortescue Metals Group’s green energy business and the Australian utility to conduct a 12-month feasibility study at the site of the Liddell and Bayswater nuclear power stations. An initial 250 MW of new wind and solar power will be used to produce 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year as part of the initiative. Gigawatt-scale electrolysers, powered by new wind and solar and supported by new pumped hydro…

Oracle Power has provided an update on the company’s plans to build a green hydrogen production facility in Pakistan in collaboration with PowerChina International. PowerChina has completed a preliminary technical study to establish key technical and commercial contours for the delivery of a facility in Pakistan to produce hydrogen with electrolysers powered by photovoltaics and wind energy. The company intends to build a 400MW hydrogen plant with a daily hydrogen production capacity of approximately 150,000kg. Negotiations with the provincial government are underway to determine the necessary infrastructure in the province of Sindh. Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented: “Green hydrogen…

GeelongPort today announced plans to expand its current operations with a $100 million investment to construct the Geelong Hydrogen Hub, a green hydrogen production and distribution facility that will accelerate Victoria’s transition to a clean energy future. CAC-H2 has also been named as the Hub’s foundation green hydrogen developer by GeelongPort. GeelongPort CEO Brett Winter expressed his delight at the announcement of this positive step forward for the Geelong region and Australia’s climate change strategy. “We acknowledge that climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing communities globally, and we need to do everything we can at a local…

The first hydrogen fuel cell locomotive, a converted SD40-2F dubbed H2 0EL for “hydrogen zero-emissions locomotive,” will roll under its own power by the end of the year and then enter test service the following year. A grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta, which will fund the conversion of a switcher and a high-horsepower unit, has matched CP’s $15 million investment in the project this month. An electrolysis plant will produce hydrogen from water at the Calgary facility, with electricity provided by CP’s solar array. A small-scale steam methane reformation system will be installed at the Edmonton plant to extract hydrogen…

A new university-industry joint research platform has been established to study and develop hydrogen, an energy vector capable of playing a critical role in achieving global climate goals. The Hydrogen Joint Research Platform (Hydrogen JRP) was established by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Milano, and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A., in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A. The Hydrogen JRP will support innovative studies and research in several areas, including the production of clean hydrogen, such as green hydrogen and low-carbon hydrogen; associated transportation…

The EU’s plan to mandate green hydrogen in the EU energy mix by 2030 could drive up demand for electricity by almost one-fifth, new Transport & Environment (T&E) analysis shows.

Frames is designing a modular and skid-mounted LOHC Storage Plant in collaboration with Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and MAN Energy Solutions for what will be Europe’s first industrial scale LOHC plant. The plant in Cologne, located at CHEMPARK Dormagen, Germany, will be able to store 5 tons of hydrogen per day thanks to Hydrogenious’ LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier) technology. A hydrogen-powered car can typically travel half a million kilometers on 5 tons of hydrogen.Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, Frames Group, and MAN Energy Solutions formed a partnership in 2019 to design, supply, and start-up industrial-scale hydrogen storage plants using Hydrogenious’ LOHC technology.…

AKM Earth has signed a term sheet with Pure Hydrogen’s newly formed subsidiary Pure X Mobility. Pure X Mobility will develop and supply hydrogen as well as seven hydrogen fuel cell trucks for AKM Earth’s Raw Skips business, according to the term sheet. AKM Earth is an environmental management services company based in southeast Queensland that is dedicated to sustainability and reducing the impact on quarries and landfills. Over the expected seven-year supply term, the trucks are cost-effective and capable of delivering “considerable” fuel savings. The hydrogen fuel cells, according to the company, are about twice as efficient as traditional…

The Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium has been awarded funding from the UK Government’s Department of Business, Energy, Innovation and Skills’ Energy Innovation Portfolio competition (BEIS). ScottishPower’s 20MW Whitelee Windfarm hydrogen production and storage facility will receive £9.4 million in Energy Innovation Portfolio funding to support the first phase of development. ScottishPower, BOC, and ITM Power are the partners in the Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium. The Energy Innovation Portfolio funding will go toward a 10MW electrolyser and four tonnes of storage, which will be the first phase of a 20MW facility that will be built at Whitelee Wind Farm…
