Aker Horizons and Statkraft have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly explore opportunities for green hydrogen and ammonia production in India and Brazil, with a focus on the steel and fertilizer industries. Steel and ammonia industry emissions account for nearly 9% of global greenhouse gas emissions and are classified as difficult-to-abate sectors. Green hydrogen is an emission-free alternative to decarbonizing these industrial sectors, as well as a way to improve the two commodities’ supply security. India’s cooperation Aker Clean Hydrogen and Statkraft have agreed to explore joint development opportunities in India for fully-integrated renewable power generation and green hydrogen production,…

Permascand has signed a LOI with RES for the co-development of a commercial research center in RES’s green hydrogen plant in Alby, Ånge Municipality, Sweden. The purpose of the letter of intent is to continue negotiations for the establishment and investment in a commercial research center for testing and evaluation of Permascands products in a production plant, allowing for significant and important project results. “It is a very positive and interesting start that we can jointly contribute to a development project of this kind,” says Permascand CEO Peter Lundström. RES is driving the development and construction of a green hydrogen…

PSW Power & Automation, a subsidiary of Scana, and Westgass Hydrogen have formed a strategic partnership to deploy container-based hydrogen fuel cell systems for power applications. Scana’s overall ambition of accelerating the green energy transition by being a driver in electrification and emission reduction solutions is supported by this initiative, which is a major step toward ensuring continuous investment in environmentally friendly energy production. The two companies will collaborate on hydrogen-based power generation solutions for off-grid and on-grid locations, including piloting, marketing, and sales. The deployment of fuel-cell generators in land-based applications, such as shore power systems for the marine…

The Nordic Hydrogen Route has been launched by Gasgrid Finland and Nordion Energi. The goal of this initiative is to promote decarbonization, regional green industrialization, economic development, and European energy independence. Nordic Hydrogen Route will accelerate the creation of a hydrogen economy and new investments to support European energy transition and increase access to green and competitive domestic energy by building a cross-border hydrogen infrastructure in the Bothnian Bay region and an open hydrogen market by 2030. The companies want to build a pipeline network that will effectively transport energy from producers to consumers, ensuring that they have access to…

Aker Horizons will form a joint venture with Nordkraft to develop sites for power intensive industries in Northern Norway through its wholly-owned subsidiary Aker Narvik. The project is part of Aker Horizons’ plan to create a green industrial hub in the Narvik area. Aker Horizons and its portfolio companies are establishing green value chains for power-intensive industries by combining their hydrogen and renewable energy capabilities. Starting with acquiring Nordkraft’s rights to the sites at Kvandal, Fjellbu, Balsfjord, Korgen, and Straumsmo, the JV aims to develop attractive sites for power-intensive industries, with roads and other common infrastructure such as water supply,…

India’s first pure green hydrogen pilot plant with an installed capacity of 10 kilograms per day has been commissioned by Oil India Limited at its Jorhat Pump Station in Assam. The plant uses a 100 kW Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolyser array to produce green hydrogen from the electricity generated by the existing 500kW solar plant. This is the first time AEM technology has been used in India. Prime Minister’s goal of an energy-independent India has been achieved in part by the company. Green hydrogen production will increase from 10 kg per day to 30 kg per day at this…

J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO, JobsOhio, said his organization commissioned this study before the IIJA was passed and that JobsOhio is committed to growing the hydrogen economy in Ohio, especially for industrial use. “The report clearly shows that hydrogen has the potential to fuel economic growth, innovation, and job creation in the state while significantly reducing carbon emissions,” SARTA CEO Kirt Conrad said. “The one key question left on the table: will state government and the private sector make the investment necessary to unleash that potential?” “The study provides clear and convincing evidence that Ohio not only meets but exceeds…

Integrated reversible power-to-gas systems developed by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Mannheim in Germany provide a solution: hydrogen fuel cells that can be easily converted back to electricity at higher power prices. New research shows that reversible fuel cells can be a financially viable source of backup electricity during periods of surging prices, such as Texas experienced in 2021 when winter storms knocked out natural gas-fueled power stations. As the research reveals, having the ability to change directions allows the entire system to operate closer to its maximum potential. Carbon-free hydrogen and carbon-free electricity can be produced…

The UK government has announced a £375 million package of funding to support innovative energy technologies that will power British homes and businesses for decades. £240 million will go toward hydrogen production as a clean, low-cost energy technology, £2.5 million will go toward developing next-generation nuclear technology, and a further £5 million will go toward carbon capture research. The funding announcement came after the government released its British energy security strategy, which outlines how the UK will accelerate the deployment of wind, new nuclear, solar, and hydrogen while supporting domestic oil and gas production in the short term – potentially…

Bechtel has been chosen by CWP Global to assist in the development of large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia facilities. The agreement establishes a foundation for the partnership to provide ongoing conceptual and early planning solutions for determining the best integrated facility configurations. CWP has developed, financed, and constructed over 1.5 GW of renewable energy projects in Europe and Australia, and is currently developing upwards of 140 GW of renewable energy capacity on three continents for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Bechtel Energy Technologies & Solutions (BETS), a company dedicated to assisting customers in achieving net zero energy,…
