Western Australia offers land to companies for hydrogen development The Western Australian government is offering companies land in the Oakajee Strategic Industrial Area, 23 kilometers north of Geraldton on the state’s mid-coast, to construct green hydrogen projects. BP, Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Green LOHC, Kinara Power, and Blue Diamond Australia, all of which expressed interest in the concept, received spots. Western Australia wants to industrialize Oakajee. Western Australia owns 6,400 hectares of undeveloped land through DevelopmentWA. The government said the move is part of a $47.5 million plan to “activate” Oakajee Strategic Industrial Area and make it…

A memorandum of understanding for the nuclear clean hydrogen project was signed by GS E&C and Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk. Through this MoU, GS E&C will take part in the construction of the Uljin Nuclear Hydrogen National Industrial Complex, a clean hydrogen production facility connected to an SMR, the nuclear hydrogen production national industrial complex project, a seawater desalination facility, and a national industrial complex for industrial water. Leading worldwide water treatment company “GS Inima,” GS E&C is now developing a new sustainable management model by expanding eco-friendly new businesses like eco-friendly modular housing, rechargeable battery battery recycling business, and smart farming.

The first green hydrogen power plant in Africa, built by French company HDF Energy, is slated to begin generating electricity in Namibia by 2024. When completed, the 3.1 billion Namibian dollar ($181.25 million) Swakopmund project will increase the country’s access to clean electricity by supplying it continuously throughout the year, 24 hours a day. Hydrogen is considered “green” when it is produced using renewable energy and is important for decarbonizing industry, even if the technology is still in its infancy and is still somewhat expensive. In the project, electrolysers will be powered by 85 MW of solar panels to produce…

According to recent studies, saltwater electrolysis, method for separating water into oxygen and hydrogen, can overcome some of the difficulties that freshwater electrolysis frequently faces. Without aggravating the world’s freshwater problem, seawater electrolysis might provide sustainable hydrogen. Once hydrogen is created, it can only expel water vapor and warm air while producing energy in a fuel cell. Hydrogen has no negative environmental effects because it does not emit any greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, or other particle matter. Several nations, including the United States, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Chile, and Germany, are making investments in the production of green hydrogen.…

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) has created a hydrogen co-firing combustor for gas turbines used in power generation. The application of KIMM in power plants will be shown by the company. The KIMM team has been trying to create a 30% hydrogen co-fired, ecologically friendly combustor for residential gas turbines in collaboration with 13 business, academic, and research partners. A field trial project involving Doosan Energy and Korea East-West Power Company will start in 2023. KIMM created a fuel injection method that involved separating the gasoline, staging it, and adjusting the fuel holes. These were used in…

During a visit to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Alexander De Croo, the prime minister of Belgium, suggested changing the federal hydrogen policy of the nation. The proposed change, which calls for the creation of a federal hydrogen council, is in line with the government’s overarching energy goal of meeting the European Union’s climate neutrality target. In order for Belgium to achieve its goal of becoming Europe’s hydrogen hub, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges’ strategy and projects for the importation, production, and throughput of green hydrogen make it a crucial role. Study offers fresh perceptions The shift to 100% renewable energy and…

Hydrogen is gaining unprecedented traction, and given the current geopolitical turmoil posing serious threats to global energy security, the need to accelerate its development has become even more critical. This was recognized by the German G7 presidency, which announced earlier this year in the “G7 Hydrogen Action Pact” the need for strengthened collaboration among G7 members on the development of green and low carbon hydrogen value chains. Speaking at the ‘G7 Hydrogen Action Pact – Facilitating and Accelerating PtX-Market Ramp-up,’ Ms. Jinks emphasized the importance of countries working together to develop common policy and regulatory frameworks in order to collectively…

In order to build a green hydrogen production facility on 200 acres as part of the Valley Link Rail project, the Tri-Valley – San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority and the City of Tracy, California, have signed a definitive agreement. The building will help the authority achieve its aim of making the Valley Link Rail project the first passenger rail system in California to run on green, locally produced hydrogen. By creating a 42-mile, 7-stop rail connection between the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and the North Lathrop Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) station, the Valley Link Rail project seeks to address a…

The Pilbara area of Western Australia has chosen Lloyd’s Register (LR) to carry out important feasibility studies on using clean ammonia to refuel ships at the world-scale ports. The announcement comes after Yara Clean Ammonia and Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) signed a partnership agreement in August. In order to evaluate the prospective uptake of ammonia refueling, LR will provide analysis focusing on important parameters (also known as bunkering). The market for clean fuels in shipping, shoreside infrastructure requirements, safety issues, and the rules necessary to facilitate ammonia bunkering at Pilbara ports will all be covered in the feasibility study. The…

Together, Sasol and ArcelorMittal South Africa are working to develop carbon capture technology for making sustainable fuels, chemicals, and steel through the use of green hydrogen and derivatives. The Saldanha green hydrogen and derivatives study, which will examine the region’s potential as an export hub for green hydrogen and derivatives as well as green steel production, and the Vaal carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) study, which will use renewable electricity and green hydrogen to convert captured carbon from ArcelorMittal South Africa’s Vanderbijlpark steel plant into int. In addition, Sasol and Freeport Saldanha Industrial Development Zone signed an MOU to create…
