Joint market initiatives for green hydrogen electrolysers in India will be developed by Greenko ZeroC (GZC) and John Cockerill of Belgium, a high-capacity alkaline electrolyzers designer and manufacturer. GZC and John Cockerill will collaborate in all aspects of the market evolution for green hydrogen electrolyzers, which convert clean energy into carbon-free hydrogen, by combining their strengths. They plan to develop new technologies to produce carbon-negative fuels in order to speed up the energy transition that companies and countries are making.. Global demand for environmentally friendly hydrogen is growing rapidly, and Greenko, an Indian company based in Hyderabad, is already building…

The Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group of Nikkiso Cryogenic Industries has announced that service provider Soletec Group will be the authorized representative and service partner for Nikkiso Cryogenic Services (NCS) in Qatar. As a result of the Group’s focus on expanding its reputation in the industrial gas sector and Soletec’s provision of aftermarket service and support for pumps, turbo expanders, and process plants, the decision reflects significant growth in the Middle East market. Liquid Hydrogen Bunkering (LH2) Bunkering installation with clean energy provider Unitrove has also been announced as a partnership between Unitrove and Cryoquip, which could lead to…

DR Powertrain System, a German-Chinese system integrator, and ElringKlinger and Plastic Omnium’s joint venture, EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies, have agreed to collaborate on the development of fuel cell systems using EKPO stacks for the Chinese market. DR Powertrain Systems plans to use the German stacks in both automotive and non-automotive systems made by local manufacturers. Nearby Shanghai, EKPO’s Suzhou site in China will serve as a regional hub for FC activities in the region. For the current collaboration, the NM5 and NM12 stacks from EKPO’s catalog will be used as the foundation. Power density in the cell block can reach…

RWE announced that it would add at least 2 gigatonnes (GW) of gas-fired power plant capacity to support the energy transition with flexible power as part of its “Growing Green” strategy. These new plants will be given a clear decarbonization path. RWE is developing a roadmap to prepare existing plants for clean operations. The next step is for RWE Generation SE (RWE) to build a hydrogen-powered gas turbine in Lingen, Germany, in collaboration with Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Kawasaki), one of the world’s leading turbine manufacturers. It will be used to test the hydrogen-to-electricity conversion process at RWE’s Emsland gas-fired power…

In an effort to make Portsmouth International Port the UK’s first zero-emissions maritime hub, Cox Marine, a British diesel technology innovator, has joined the SHAPE UK consortium. A Cox CXO300 diesel outboard engine will be converted into a dual fuel hydrogen engine in collaboration with the University of Brighton as part of this project and will be demonstrated in a port environment. Part of the larger project of SHAPE UK is the conversion and demonstration to show that a modular green hydrogen generation system is feasible in the Port of Portsmouth International (PIP). Transporting goods by sea is critical for…

Australia’s BlueScope Steel and Shell Energy Operations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore and develop renewable hydrogen projects at BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks in New South Wales. Using a 10MW pilot-scale renewable hydrogen electrolyser, BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks will investigate and test the use of green hydrogen in its blast furnace. The goal is to show that hydrogen can be used to make steel with lower emissions. Hydrogen could also be fed into a pilot DRI plant, which could be used for other purposes. BlueScope and Shell will also collaborate with other organizations in the Illawarra to…

NanoSUN, a world-renowned and award-winning engineering firm specializing in the development of mobile hydrogen refueling solutions, informed that HydrogenOne Capital Growth and the German Westfalen Group have invested £12 million in the company’s Series A round of funding. Engineers and experts in the hydrogen fuel supply chain have formed NanoSUN, a company dedicated to bridging the infrastructure gap between producers and consumers of hydrogen fuel. Hybrid hydrogen refueling stations, such as NanoSUN’s Pioneer Station, can be quickly and affordably deployed to deliver hydrogen fuel to the point of use, where it can be directly dispensed into hydrogen-powered vehicles. It is…

Green hydrogen production will be investigated by Infinity Lithium and Thyssenkrupp in a joint effort. The partnership will begin with a pilot project at a Thyssenkrupp plant in Germany to evaluate the potential of hydrogen as a substitute fuel for rotary kilns, using the industrial group’s hydrogen burner installation. Infinity’s lithium project in San Jose, Spain, as well as new lithium hydrometallurgical conversion processes, could benefit from this technology in the future. As demand for raw materials grows globally and environmental concerns grow, the collaboration was agreed upon in light of these issues. There are plans for a fully integrated…

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…
