A “Comprehensive and science-based terminology, classification, and taxonomy for hydrogen” was discussed at the 31st session of the Committee on Sustainable Energy, and it was unanimously agreed that the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) should be extended to hydrogen through the development of specifications for the application of UNFC to hydrogen. In spite of the fact that greenhouse gas emissions are the primary criterion, additional economic and social factors must be taken into account. A thorough and comparable grid for evaluating these might be provided by applying the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to hydrogen. The…

To automate the majority of the processes involved in building Shell’s Holland Hydrogen I plant in Rotterdam, the oil and gas giant has contracted with Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a Japanese electrical engineering and software company. Once operational in 2025, the plant is projected to be the largest renewable hydrogen plant in Europe by producing renewable hydrogen utilizing power from offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust Noord. Yokogawa will be the primary contractor for the plant’s automation needs, and the company’s systems and machinery will be meticulously integrated to ensure maximum efficiency. The electrolyser of the Holland Hydrogen I facility will have…

This agreement between Aquaterra Energy and Seawind Ocean Technology will pave the way for the construction of the largest floating offshore wind and green hydrogen generation plant in Italy. The initial stages of permitting for the HyMed project have begun, and work on the grid connection and environmental impact assessments is well under way. Once all production units are running, the partners plan to generate 3.2 GW of electricity from the project, with over 1 GW coming from green hydrogen. It is expected that Aquaterra Energy and Seawind, two Italian companies, will develop and build the wind and hydrogen offshore…

More than 20 countries, led by Japan, have committed to tripling current annual production of low-emission hydrogen to 90 million tonnes by 2030. The Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting in Tokyo was the setting for the agreement between countries like the United States, Australia, and Germany. Hydrogen is considered a promising green fuel that will play a significant role in decarbonizing sectors currently dependent on coal, gas, and oil. It’s also essential if Japan is going to reach its target of zero net emissions by the year 2050. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that 95 million tonnes of blue hydrogen…

As the first major step into commercial markets for its compact mobile hydrogen generators, BayoTech plans to construct six hydrogen hubs in five different states in the coming year. The company has spent the last seven years perfecting its producing technology, which it licensed from Sandia National Laboratories to produce hydrogen on-site, close to where it would be used in commercial and industrial applications. New federal incentives are in place to promote widespread production and consumption of hydrogen to speed up the country’s transition to a carbon-free economy. The Inflation Reduction Act, which provides $370 billion in new federal incentives…

By the end of October, researchers hoping to recruit 300 volunteers for a world-first project to use hydrogen to power homes in Fife anticipate having enough participants. Anyone who joins the H100 initiative will be the first in the world to use hydrogen with no carbon footprint in the kitchen. Free hydrogen-ready boilers and cooking appliances, as well as free maintenance, will be provided to customers in the trial area of Levenmouth for a period of four years. Although less than one hundred people are thought to be interested so far, at least 270 families are required for it to…

Toyota Mirai, a groundbreaking hydrogen car introduced by the Japanese automaker eight years ago and now in its second generation, underwent its first Italian test drive at the ENEA Casaccia Research Center. The H2 Summer School, hosted by the ENEA Department of Energy Technologies and Renewable Sources and the Sapienza University of Rome and the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, provided instruction for fifty individuals, who then took part in the first Italian test drive of the hydrogen car. The air intake of the Toyota Mirai features a special catalyst filter that can trap micro contaminating dusts such PM 2.5…

Both Korea and Uruguay are committed to working together to develop a reliable clean hydrogen supply chain that integrates hydrogen mobility technology. Since hydro and wind power account for more than 80% of renewable energy generation in Uruguay, it is possible for the country to produce green hydrogen. Due to Korea’s extensive knowledge and experience in hydrogen vehicle technology and supply, it is anticipated that Korean firms would contribute to the growth of hydrogen mobility advocated by the Uruguayan government. Greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies, such as increased use of renewable energy sources and joint development of electric vehicles, were…

H2X Global, an Australian hydrogen fuel-cell automobile manufacturer, has begun European vehicle validation and verification testing of its Warrego ute in the Netherlands, with the goal of starting sales in Europe within the next nine months. H2X Global, situated in Melbourne, Australia, has lofty goals of introducing hydrogen FCEV commercial cars all over the world. Technology demonstrator the Warrego will be followed by hydrogen-powered delivery van and taxi variants in 2025, according to the company. It was anticipated that H2X Warrego ute deliveries will begin in April of 2022. However, problems in the supply chain prevented this from happening. Built…

Shinhan Bank, Korea Midland Power, LS Electric, Aegis Asset Management, and Elekseed have formed a partnership and entered into a business agreement with the Queensland Government of Australia to launch a pilot project for the commercial generation of green hydrogen. Through this agreement, the consortium in which Shinhan Bank has a stake will work with the Queensland State Government to implement the ‘H-REP (Hydrogen Renewable Energy Park)’ pilot project in Queensland, Australia, investing a total of AUD 20 million. H-REP proposes to construct a solar power plant with a capacity of 3MW (megawatts), and utilize this power to run the…
