Preliminary hydrogen agreements with Icelandair and Airbus are being prepared by Universal Hydrogen. Europe’s Airbus (AIR.PA) has pledged to introduce 100-seat hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2035. Globally, Universal Hydrogen plans to replace turboprop engines with fuel cells fed by modular hydrogen capsules by 2025. Instead of traditional turboprops, the kits include a fuel cell and an electric powertrain. Long-term contracts to transport gasoline via modular capsules can offset the cost of investing in airplane kits. With some seats removed to accommodate the hydrogen capsules, the propellers remain visible to passengers while the engine and fuel system changes. Both Ravn and Icelandair…

INEOS Chemicals Grangemouth, INEOS FPS and Petroineos, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Acorn CCS Project to work together to develop Scotland’s first carbon capture and storage system linking Scotland’s industrial heartland to the Acorn CO2 transport and storage system in North East Scotland by 2027. Investment at the Grangemouth site will enable the capture and storage of approximately one million tonnes a year of CO2 by 2027, with the scope to capture further significant volumes beyond this date. Grangemouth, one of Scotland’s largest manufacturing locations, is owned and operated by INEOS and Petroineos. It has already cut…

Preem and Vattenfall initiated a strategic investigation of the role that fossil-free hydrogen from electrolysis, generated with fossil-free power, could play in Preem’s ability to create biofuels on a big scale. Work continues to investigate the potential of the first 50 MW electrolysis plant at Preem’s Lysekil refinery with the aim of moving on to the next phase during the spring of 2022. Preem’s target of producing around 5 million cubic metres of biofuels by 2030 has the potential to cut transportation emissions by up to 12.5 million tonnes of CO2, which corresponds to approximately 20% of Sweden’s total emissions.…

The UmweltBank is financing the WUN H2 hydrogen project which began construction in Wunsiedel. One of the largest plants for the production of green hydrogen in Germany is being built in Upper Franconia. The plant should produce up to 1,300 tons of green hydrogen per year. Using the so-called PEM electrolysis process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis) by means of an electric current. The system is operated exclusively with wind and solar energy. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier for the transportation and industrial sectors, as well as a crucial component of the energy transition. The hydrogen…
