Hexagon Purus, through its fully owned subsidiary Wystrach GmbH, signed a framework agreement to deliver hydrogen distribution systems to a top European green hydrogen producer. Hexagon Purus’ type 4 hydrogen cylinders will offer hydrogen for transportation and industry in Europe. Framework agreements cost at least EUR 9.7 million. “We are currently experiencing strong commercial momentum within our hydrogen distribution business following the recent push from European authorities to reduce emissions and increase energy security”, says Michael Kleschinski, EVP of Hexagon Purus. “We are very happy to play an important part in supporting European authorities’ ambitious growth plan for hydrogen adoption”.

According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) research, “Global Hydrogen Review 2022,” the current energy crisis has increased interest in hydrogen, but more political backing is required to promote new and cleaner usage in heavy industries and long-distance transportation. With this assistance, between 16 and 24 million tons of low-emission hydrogen will be produced annually in 2030 using electrolyzers or carbon capture, storage, and use (CCUS) technology. Less than one million tons of low-emission hydrogen were produced globally in 2021, according to the report, which was presented at an Enerclub-sponsored event. These tons came from facilities that burn fossil fuels…

Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), a global supplier of cutting-edge technologies, services, and solutions for the retail of fuel and convenience products, spoke with EnergyNews.biz about hydrogen fueling solutions.

The Mid West Hydrogen Hub is being developed more quickly thanks to $5.5 million in planning and study efforts from the McGowan administration. The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation will work on the studies and planning throughout the ensuing 12 to 18 months. In order to connect the Oakajee SIA to the South West Interconnected System, Western Power will spend $3 million on planning activities and close cooperation with Energy Policy WA. DevelopmentWA will get $1.2 million to carry out land planning projects, while $600,000 will be used to carry out cultural heritage projects. Additionally, $500,000 will be…

Up to 75 electric buses with fuel cell range extenders are to be delivered by Daimler Buses under the order from existing client Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr (RNV), a German transportation company. RNV claims that the new buses will enable operations to move into a new stage of electrification. Heidelberg is the service region, and RNV requests 40 eCitaro G with range extenders from Daimler Buses between 2023 and 2024. There is also a possibility for an additional 35 articulated buses by 2027. Daimler Buses anticipated the 2022 availability of the fuel cell range extender option when it unveiled the 18-meter bus in…

Air Products intends to invest roughly $500 million to build, own, and manage a 35 metric ton per day facility to generate green liquid hydrogen at a greenfield site in Massena, New York, as well as liquid hydrogen distribution and dispensing activities. This facility’s commercial operation is anticipated to start in 2026–2027. According to Air Products, the market demand justifies the investment in the project, presuming that it will be eligible for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) benefits and other local, state, and federal incentives that are anticipated in the current project budget. Throughout addition to this announced facility, Air…

Energy giant SSE has suggested using extra electricity generated by a Highland wind farm to produce 1,600 tonnes of hydrogen annually. The hydrogen could serve as an alternate fuel for industrial processes, heating systems, and transportation. At its Gordonbush Wind Farm near Brora in Sutherland, SSE has informed Highland Council’s north planning applications committee of its intention to construct a hydrogen electrolyser facility. Electricity left over after meeting the demands of the national power system would be used to power the facility. Separately, comparable initiatives have been suggested for locations in Inverness, the Western Isles, and Easter Ross on the…

After receiving £2.5 million in financing from the West of England Authority, a green hydrogen plant near Bristol is expected to start operating in spring. Green hydrogen will be produced, stored, and studied at the Institute of Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) in Emersons Green’s Bristol and Bath Science Park. According to metro mayor Dan Norris, it will be the first of its kind in the area and will bring an estimated £5 million to the West Country when businesses relocate there to conduct research at the facility. In order to lower the carbon footprint of the building while doing…

Lee Chang-yang, the minister of industry for South Korea, and Khalid al-Faleh, the minister of investments for Saudi Arabia, talked about boosting trade and investment between their two nations. Minister Lee urged enhancing cooperation between the government and businesses in these industries, noting that two-country cooperation, focusing on energy, building, and plants, is spreading to fields of future energy including smart cities and hydrogen, as well as games and entertainment. The “Korea-Saudi Vision 2030 Committee,” which was established in 2017 to find collaborative initiatives in emerging industries, was also thought by the Ministers to have been a focal point for…

The majority of the hydrogen that will be used worldwide will be shipped and pipelined over large distances. According to a McKinsey analysis, which served as the foundation for the Hydrogen Council’s report, Global Hydrogen Flows, this is the case. Trading hydrogen is essential for efficient decarbonization. The established Global Hydrogen Trade Model has optimized 1.5 million potential trade routes in total, with the demand model linked with the routes to reach the net zero climate goals in the four time periods of 2025, 2030, 2040, and 2050 years. With 660 million tons of hydrogen expected to be consumed globally…
