Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt has commenced the operation of a hydrogen transport pipeline that aims to demonstrate a fully integrated “green” supply chain from wind energy to industrial consumption. This ambitious project, set in motion by Ontras Gas Transport, aims to transform renewable electricity from a local wind farm into hydrogen, to then be utilized in various industrial applications. At the heart of this initiative is a 30-megawatt electrolyzer developed by Sunfire Dresden. This critical component uses renewable energy from eight wind turbines to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The generated hydrogen is temporarily stored in a repurposed salt cavern,…

India’s industrial titan, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has made a decisive step in escalating its commitment to renewable energy by creating the subsidiary L&T Green Energy Kandla Pvt Ltd. This move is part of its strategic blueprint to foster green hydrogen projects, notably including derivatives such as green ammonia. The establishment of this new entity underlines L&T’s ongoing efforts to innovate within the clean energy sector following its recent commissioning of a green hydrogen plant in Gujarat. The advent of L&T Green Energy Kandla represents a significant alignment with global energy trends where green hydrogen, produced via the electrolysis of…

Energy News is honored to welcome Dr. Alistair Miller to its Advisory Board, a luminary whose almost six-decade career in nuclear technology and sustainable energy research has left a legacy on the global energy landscape.

Montreal, Canada is poised to become a significant player in the burgeoning green hydrogen industry, as ABB and Charbone Hydrogen ally to spearhead scalable hydrogen production facilities across North America. In a strategic move, the two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop 15 modular green hydrogen plants over the next half-decade. This initiative responds to the growing industrial reliance on grey hydrogen, prevalent in sectors like steelmaking, by introducing a sustainable alternative fuel. ABB’s role in this venture encompasses designing, engineering, and supplying modular electrical substations, which are crucial for the efficient interconnection of Charbone’s facilities…

As the UK accelerates its ambitions to establish a low-carbon hydrogen economy, 27 electrolytic hydrogen projects have been shortlisted under the second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), representing a substantial increase from the first round.

The maritime industry faces a pressing challenge: curbing the significant greenhouse gases emitted by seaports, which are pivotal hubs of global trade responsible for a staggering 2.5% of global emissions.

Dynamic electricity tariffs are transforming the landscape of energy storage systems, setting the stage for a paradigm shift in how storage dispatch is optimized.

As the UK government and industry stakeholders grapple with the challenge of achieving net-zero carbon emissions, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has emphasized that underground hydrogen storage is ‘essential’ for the stability of renewable energy systems. BGS’s comprehensive briefing note highlights the critical role of hydrogen storage in balancing the increasingly volatile supply and demand dynamics of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. In examining the UK energy landscape, it’s apparent that current storage capacities are insufficient. The UK’s gas storage capacity is limited to an average of 12 days, one of the lowest in Europe. In contrast, achieving…

In an ambitious move, the Energy Abundance Development Corp is developing what will be the largest hydrogen project globally on a 50,000-acre site near Laredo, Texas. Coined “Data City,” this project is aimed at harnessing green energy to power a colossal data center, potentially shifting paradigms in sustainable energy solutions. This endeavor marks a significant leap in the tech industry’s energy consumption norms. Starting with an initial 300 megawatts and scaling to a capacity of 5 gigawatts, the project is poised to redefine how data centers can efficiently and sustainably operate. Despite the immense scale, the completion of this infrastructure…

In a significant bid to bolster its energy infrastructure, Poland has launched a €1 billion program aimed at developing energy storage facilities. This initiative, backed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW), is seeking to stabilize the nation’s power system amidst an increasing shift towards renewable energy sources. The call for applications was kicked off on April 4 and will remain open until May 30, inviting proposals for the construction of facilities with a minimum capacity of 2 MW and 4 MWh. This move is not merely strategic but essential, considering the demands of integrating fluctuating…
