Through its Center for Solar Energy Technologies, an International Center of Excellence funded by ANID, Fraunhofer Chile is actively engaged in the creation of a web platform project that enables a techno-economic assessment of the development of solar hydrogen projects in the country’s northern region. As a foundation to provide the industry with a useful alternative to evaluate its projects based on an applied R&D service model, developed by Fraunhofer Chile in collaboration with the business LIF Energy, this platform will be technically validated with clients and a marketing strategy will be implemented. The goal of this effort, which has…

Through the application of a technology, it is now possible to create valuable molecules from tree dregs and then use the electrons gained from this process to create “solar hydrogen.” It is seen as a potential commercial “green hydrogen” technology since it can manufacture hydrogen using solar power while also improving production efficiency. The research team at UNIST, which is headed by Professors Jeong-ki Ryu, Ji-wook Jang, and Seong-yeon Jang from the Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering, only breaks down lignocellulosic biomass into compounds with a high added value and then uses the electrons that are liberated in this…

Ancap, the state-owned oil and gas company of Uruguay, is getting ready to launch a series of offshore green hydrogen and wind tender rounds in 2023. Ancap’s ambitious ambition to build a maritime hydrogen production hub driven by its large offshore wind potential calls for businesses with experience in offshore wind, hydrogen, or deepwater oil and gas. Juan Tomasini, the company’s E&P chief, stated that rolling applications will be used for the tender rounds, which will open offers in two stages in May and November of the following year. The state-owned company has written a draft of the tender’s terms…

Maarten Wetselaar, the CEO of the oil business Cepsa, has urged the European Union (EU) to give green hydrogen regulation first priority when modernizing the continent’s energy infrastructure. This would improve security and energy independence. Wetselaar agrees that immediate action must be taken to “promote energy savings and supply assurance,” without ignoring the need for longer-term actions to hasten the adoption of new technologies. He emphasized that the high energy costs brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may favor alternative technologies, such as green hydrogen, in order for them to be competitive and enable the growth of new sectors…

The framework conditions for the future supply of green hydrogen to the Salzgitter steel facility in Hannover have been examined by MAN Energy Solutions and the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) and have been published. The study, which was ordered by Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter, looks into a number of issues, including how locally produced green hydrogen might enhance German supplies and its potential competitiveness with imports. According to the study’s estimations, local hydrogen can be profitable and even less expensive than imports starting in 2030 if used directly without additional conversion. While hydrogen imports from Tunisia,…

Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk recently inked an MOU to support the clean hydrogen industry in nuclear power with Hyosung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Engineering. This MOU was created to pioneer carbon neutrality, mass produce nuclear clean hydrogen, and demonstrate nuclear clean hydrogen, also known as the clean energy of the future. Hyosung Heavy Industries & Construction will build a hydrogen liquefaction plant, a trailer for liquid hydrogen storage and transport, a pipeline for liquid hydrogen supply, a liquid hydrogen charging station, and take part in the development of a national industrial complex for hydrogen production using nuclear power, all in accordance with…

Terry Kallis canceled a 6-gigawatt green hydrogen project in May. His Kallis Energy Investments lacked water. It’s one of 680 large-scale hydrogen projects being considered throughout the world, according to the Hydrogen Council, which estimates $700 billion is needed by 2030 to reach net-zero emissions targets. BP, Fortescue Metals and Reliance Industries are leading the march towards green hydrogen, made from renewable energy rather than carbon-emitting fossil fuels. It helped Fortescue gain a stock-market premium. Water is rarely mentioned in producers’ utterances. That raises fears they’re neglecting hazards or underestimating how much they’ll need, the hurdles of acquiring it, and…

The new funding call “Electrochemical Materials and Processes for Green Hydrogen and Green Chemistry” has been released by the Federal Ministries of Education and Research (BMBF) and Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) (ECCM). They are seeking suggestions for research projects in the areas of electrochemical materials and processes for green hydrogen and green chemistry in collaboration with the Dutch Research Council. The goals of the joint initiatives between German and Dutch partners are to combine their respective strengths. Therefore, they should create novel and useful techniques and solutions for green chemistry and hydrogen. Partners from research through industry to end…

A combined feasibility study for the creation of a green hydrogen supply chain in Europe will be carried out by the Spanish infrastructure investment firm Reganosa, the European bulk liquid storage firm Rubis Terminal, and the Japanese industrial conglomerate Sojitz. The H2Pole project, the first regional hydrogen project ever designated as a “Strategic Industrial Project,” is being developed by Reganosa. It will consist of a green hydrogen production facility situated in the Galicia region of northwest Spain. The company will focus on regional consumers in its first operational phase in 2025. In a subsequent phase, the H2Pole Project plans to…

An electrolyser is being supplied and installed by Logan Energy at a wastewater treatment facility in Cambridgeshire. Logan Energy, a leader in hydrogen technology, has been selected to play a pivotal part in a groundbreaking project aimed at reducing the carbon emissions linked to wastewater treatment operations. This is regarded as an industry first. As part of a project spearheaded by Anglian Water, the largest water operator in terms of geographic scope in England and Wales, Logan Energy, located in East Lothian, will supply and construct an electrolyser at a wastewater treatment facility in Cambridgeshire. Logan Energy was chosen to…
