Renewable hydrogen produced in Australia is being transported to the Republic of Palau for use in fuel cells and hydrogen fuel cell vessels by Sojitz Corporation, CS Energy, and Nippon Engineering Consultants as part of a demonstration project. Japan’s Ministry of the Environment selected Sojitz’s application for this green hydrogen project to receive subsidies under the ministry’s “Pilot Project for Comprehensive Support Throughout the Whole Hydrogen Supply Chain Abroad,” a financing program that is part of MOEJ’s Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects in FY2021. Over a three-year period, from FY2021 to FY2023, Sojitz and its partners plan to conduct…

Green hydrogen is needed for fuel cells, and TECO 2030 ASA and Gen2 Energy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on those projects. It is agreed that Gen2 Energy will look into supplying green hydrogen to relevant projects, such as ports, offshore fish farms, and other heavy-duty customers, for which hydrogen and power conversion through fuel cells are required. Hydrogen can be transported onboard vessels powered by hydrogen fuel cells thanks to Gen2 Energy’s partnership with TECO 2030 Marine Fuel Cells. Through the “Hydrogen Hub Nordland” project, the parties intend to collaborate on soft funding for maritime…

With the help of a new program launched by the UK government, clean energy source hydrogen can now be produced from renewable biomass and waste. The new Hydrogen BECCS Innovation Program, supported by £5 million in government funding, will support the development of technologies for the production of hydrogen generated via BECCS” (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage). Biomass and waste are used in the BECCS process to generate hydrogen, which is then used to capture and store the carbon dioxide that is released during the process. By using carbon capture technologies to permanently remove the CO2 absorbed during the…

The new federal government, comprised of the SPD, Die Grünen, and FDP, has outlined a slew of measures to combat climate change in its coalition agreement. Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide help to protect the environment in a variety of ways. Hydrogen generated from renewable energy is critical to the energy transition. In light of this, Messer is optimistic about many aspects of the coalition agreement. Air separation and electrolysis require electricity. The coalition agreement’s accelerated expansion of renewable energies is a positive sign in this regard. This is especially true for long-term electricity supply agreements (PPAs)…

Following a successful launch year in 2021, DriveH2, an environmental nonprofit Energy Independence Now (EIN) public service initiative, will amplify its message of a hydrogen-powered future in 2022 through a series of high-profile events and educational programs. “2021 was a highly productive year for EIN’s DriveH2 initiative and the overall hydrogen movement.” said Brian Goldstein, EIN’s Executive Director. “2022 is shaping up to be much bigger. Our team is committed to elevating the hydrogen movement and we are excited about our calendar of supporting events and initiatives this year.” “Hydrogen is poised to play a foundational role in the new…

Cyclum will, through a network of renewable truck stops, dispense biodiesel, compressed RNG, hydrogen, and electricity for EV charging to help commercial trucking transition to more sustainable practices. Cyclum’s proprietary solution can provide all of these fuels reliably and concurrently, filling a market gap. Each station is designed to have a low environmental impact by producing power on-site using RNG turbines and solar panels, as well as using sustainable business practices. Cyclum’s stations will raise the bar for customer experience in the fuel dispensing industry by focusing on a higher tier of customer experience and top-tier amenities. Cyclum is looking…

With Emerson’s assistance, large-scale offshore green hydrogen production technology development is being accelerated. To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the world’s first operational offshore green hydrogen production process, the company is developing software and systems. Offshore wind power and natural gas and hydrogen production at sea will be tested as part of the PosHYdon project, which aims to demonstrate the integration of these two renewable fuel sources at sea. Energy company Neptune Energy will host the project, which aims to shed light on the efficiency of an electrolyzer from a variable power supply and the cost of installing…

For the Union Budget of 2022-23, the India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) has requested financial support for the creation of 10 National BharatH2 Clusters, a USD 1 bn Hydrogen Economy Development Fund (HEDF), and a Public-Private Hydrogen Taskforce (PPHT). IH2A made the submissions to the NITI Aayog, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Ministry of Steel, and Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. To meet IH2A’s 2030 target for a domestic hydrogen supply chain with a national installed electrolyser capacity of 25 GW, the Indian government and private sector will…

In order to meet its CO2 reduction goals, Germany’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck says that Germany must do far more and will significantly increase renewables, climate-neutral production, and energy efficiency. He said that Germany would miss its CO2 emissions targets in 2022 and 2023 and would immediately accelerate measures across the energy spectrum. ‘State of the nation’ press conference in Berlin. “We are starting with a drastic deficit,” said Habeck. “The previous climate protection measures in all sectors are insufficient. But we are doing everything we can to close the gap. We’ll have to triple…
