The hydrogen plant of the Francisco I. Madero refinery, which Enrique Pea Nieto sold for $32.5 million to German business Linde in 2018, will be recovered by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Pemex’s infrastructure was dismantled through a cooperation with Linde, who supplied hydrogen. Linde agreed to operate a 42-million-cubic-foot-per-day facility at the Francisco I. Madero Refinery. The state’s productive firm would provide the entire operational structure. Potential hydrogen suppliers to the Cadereyta and Madero refineries evaluated technical and economic bids at the end of 2017. Both operations might earn Pemex 134 million dollars directly. Pemex signed a 20-year agreement with…

Activities for the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems for heavy-duty applications have been started by Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corporation, Impact Clean Power Technology, and ITOCHU Plantech. By utilizing Toshiba ESS’s polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stack, which has exceptional durability and stability, the parties have researched the development of a hydrogen fuel cell system for buses based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the three parties that was reached last year. Polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stacks from Toshiba ESS have already been delivered to Impact, who will now begin testing and verifying a hydrogen fuel cell…

At this month’s Bauma Munich, the components product division of Liebherr will exhibit two prototypes of its hydrogen engine for tomorrow’s building sites. Direct injection (DI) and port fuel injection are two separate hydrogen injection systems used by each prototype (PFI). Combustion engines won’t run on fossil diesel exclusively in the foreseeable future. By 2050, it will be necessary to switch to fuels derived from renewable energy sources. One of them is green hydrogen since it is a promising carbon-free fuel that burns within internal combustion engines without emitting any CO2 (ICE). Additionally, Liebherr’s proficiency in ICE development may hasten…

After signing a memorandum of understanding with BlueScope Steel in December 2021, Shell has decided to withdraw from the green hydrogen project. After evaluating its endeavors, the energy giant is leaving the New South Wales project. Shell is pulling out of the Australian green hydrogen project after thoroughly evaluating and sketching out all of its plans. The firms entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to explore and develop renewable H2 projects at the steelmaker’s Port Kembla Steelworks in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. The two businesses had agreed to look into setting up and running a 10 MW…

Provaris Energy has advanced its Tiwi Island green hydrogen (Tiwi H2) project on the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory by submitting an EPBC referral to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water of the Australian Government. The second phase of the Tiwi H2 environmental procedure is the EPBC submission to the Federal Government. The Northern Territory Government’s Environmental Protection Authority had received a referral filing for Tiwi H2 in June, and a decision is expected this month. The NT Government granted Tiwi H2 major project status in August, a designation given to initiatives with significance and…

Banks may soon classify loans for electric vehicles and renewable hydrogen under priority sector lending (PSL). According to a report in the Economic Times (ET), several banks have urged the move to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). According to the reports, banks allegedly advised the RBI that classifying these loans as priorities will assist close the “financing shortages” in these industries. Additionally, it will aid banks in achieving their PSL goals. Currently, banks are mandated to lend to priority industries for 40% of their total loan. Eight sectors currently qualify for loans using the PSL procedure. They consist of…

The first green hydrogen project by Statkraft, Trecwn Green Energy Hub, will be developed in the UK. The Hub is the first of numerous projects Statkraft has in mind that will employ local knowledge and expertise, create jobs, and aid in the transition of transportation from using dirty fuels to more environmentally friendly ones. The Pembrokeshire plant would produce about three tonnes of green hydrogen every day and is expected to be built on the site of a defunct rail transfer shed. This can power a single bus for more than 40,000 miles, or the equivalent of 350 trips from…

PepsiCo Australia will begin testing a hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicle at one of its manufacturing facilities in Brisbane in collaboration with Pure Hydrogen. PepsiCo will receive a 160kW hydrogen fuel cell Prime Mover truck from Pure Hydrogen. Additionally, it will incorporate more hydrogen fuel and refueling as needed. Additionally, Pure Hydrogen will offer upkeep and repair services. This is a portion of the experiment that will last six months and start in the second half of 2023. The trial’s goal is to show how Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCV) can be used on a large commercial basis. For the Fast-Moving Consumer…

Atkins, a subsidiary of the SNC Lavalin Group, was recently contracted by INEOS to create a world-scale low carbon hydrogen production at the company’s Grangemouth, Scotland, location. INEOS has made major investments at its Grangemouth complex since acquiring it in 2005, and the planned hydrogen plant, scheduled for operation in 2030, will further reduce carbon emissions by more than a million tons annually. The use of the Scottish Cluster’s CCS infrastructure is crucial to INEOS’s Hydrogen programme. The carbon dioxide produced at the hydrogen factory will be piped directly offshore, where it will be sequestered in underground rock formations well…

Vopak is getting ready to store green ammonia at the Vlissingen terminal right now. For this purpose, two 55,000 cbm capacity chilled LPG storage tanks already in existence can be adapted. There is access to berths, pipelines, and other facilities. There is room for growth and new manufacturing uses, such as a device to recycle the ammonia into clean hydrogen. It will be linked to the Northwest European hydrogen network, allowing for the supply of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Vopak Terminal Vlissingen’s prime location in the North Sea Port in the Scheldt-Delta region makes it an ideal shipping hub.…
