HYON AS (HYON) signed a collaboration agreement with Mitsui & Co. of Japan to pave the way for large-scale hydrogen fueling solution development, beginning with a joint feasibility study in the second half of 2022. Together, the parties hope to pursue business opportunities involving the establishment of hydrogen fueling infrastructure in Europe, Asia, or any other region with a potential for hydrogen demand. Mitsui will make a financial and strategic investment in HYON as part of the agreement. In order to define relevant parameters for the global presence of hydrogen fueling solutions, roll-out plan, cost, and specification of technical solutions,…

Norwegian Hydrogen AS, FirstElement Fuel, and Mitsui & Co. have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a hydrogen refueling infrastructure and accelerate the market for zero-emission hydrogen transportation in the Nordic countries. Norwegian Hydrogen and FirstElement Fuel will collaborate to expand the hydrogen network across the Nordic region as quickly as possible. Mitsui will join the team, bringing their expertise in global infrastructure expansion to bear on FirstElement Fuel’s extensive experience in California. The three parties’ cooperation agreement outlines how each will use its best-in-class experience and know-how to develop hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the Nordic countries, with a…

Superior Propane and Charbone Hydrogen Corporation have signed a supply and logistics agreement to provide green hydrogen to commercial and industrial customers in Quebec, Canada. Superior and Charbone will combine their expertise in mobile energy distribution and green hydrogen production to bring green hydrogen to the Quebec market, providing a convenient green energy option for businesses looking to reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainability goals. According to the terms of the agreement, Charbone will supply green hydrogen to Superior from its facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, with first deliveries expected in the third quarter of 2022. Superior Propane, Superior’s industry-leading energy…

Kazakh Embassy in France and the Kazakh Invest national company discuss the prospects for cooperation between Kazakhstan and France in the field of hydrogen energy development. The goal of the webinar, which brought together Kazakh and French government officials and experts, was to share the experience of French companies working in the hydrogen sector and invite them to help Kazakhstan develop the sector. According to Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to France Jean Galiev, this area is becoming increasingly important as the country works to decarbonize its economy and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. As the two countries enter the second decade of…

Researchers at the University of Canterbury (UC) are working on a novel method of producing green hydrogen from woody biomass while also capturing carbon. Professor Shusheng Pang and Associate Professor Alex Yip of UC Chemical and Process Engineering are developing a breakthrough technology that uses advanced thermochemical processes and low-value wood as the raw material. This will make it possible to produce green hydrogen at a commercially viable cost and in conjunction with carbon sequestration. Professor Pang’s previous research uncovered technologies for converting biomass to hydrogen-rich syngas that could be used to make liquid fuel for vehicles. According to research…

ENGIE, OCI, and EEW will work together to implement the HyNL project in the Netherlands. An industrial value chain for the production of e-methanol from renewable hydrogen and biogenic CO2 will be built and operated in the North of the Netherlands by HyNetherlands. Energy carriers such as hydrogen and e-methanol have the same characteristics as their fossil counterparts: high energy density, ease of bunkering and transportation, and the use of existing infrastructure and assets. Electrolyser facilities that produce hydrogen for e-methanol production and deliver renewable hydrogen to the local mobility and industry sectors will be built as part of the…

The newly developed Mireo Plus H, the next-generation hydrogen-powered train, and a newly designed mobile hydrogen storage trailer were unveiled at the Siemens plant in Krefeld as part of DB and Siemens Mobility’s innovative complete system. The train and its new infrastructure are designed to take the place of diesel multiple-unit trains in commuter and regional transportation, resulting in zero CO2 emissions. The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport is funding the “H2goesRail” project with €13.74 million from the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW GmbH) (BMDV). NOW GmbH coordinates the funding guideline, which is carried…

ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company has extended the term of FuelCell Energy’s joint development agreement. The agreement will allow the companies to continue working together to bring fuel cell carbon capture and storage technology closer to commercialization, as well as to investigate market applications in three areas: Continue to develop technology to better understand the operating envelope of fuel cells for various carbon capture applications.Complete technology readiness in preparation for a possible deployment of the technology in a carbon capture fuel cell module demonstration at an ExxonMobil facility.Conduct a joint market study to identify application opportunities, commercialization strategies, and potential…

With Progressive Energy, Essar has formed Vertex Hydrogen Limited, a game-changing new joint venture to build the UK’s largest hydrogen hub at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex. Vertex Hydrogen was founded with Essar as the majority shareholder to serve as a catalyst for the development of a hydrogen economy in North West England and North Wales as part of the HyNet decarbonisation cluster. This initiative is a key component of Essar’s global strategy to focus on investing in energy transition through portfolio company transformation and new venture investments. From 2026, the UK’s first low-carbon hydrogen facility, at Essar Stanlow, will be…
