India and the UK will boost their cooperation on climate change to help reach their goal of reducing carbon emissions by the end of the decade, increasing work on hydrogen, which is derived from renewable resources. The countries will both profit from working together on green hydrogen. They will gain from each other’s experience on carbon-neutral fuel sources, collaboration in regulations and policies, and innovation in research and development. The enhanced understanding of the hydrogen economy will aid both countries in their current and future operations, as well as in helping promote new technologies, laws, and investment possibilities that could…

Liquid Wind has completed its Series A financing round, raising €4 million in equity investment. Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Falkor, Haldor Topsoe, Siemens Energy, and Uniper are among the investors in the eMethanol facility developer.

Cerulean Winds has presented an ambitious idea to expedite the decarbonization of oil and gas assets with an integrated 200-turbine floating wind and hydrogen construction that would twist the dial on emissions objectives while creating considerable jobs.

Tlou Energy has released its hydrogen strategy showing that the company is well-positioned for the production of hydrogen.

RWE Supply & Trading and The Hydrogen Utility (H2U) have joined forces to develop hydrogen trading between Australia and Germany. Together, they aim to bring green hydrogen produced in Australia to Europe. This is in line with the objective of HySupply, a 24-month German-Australian feasibility study which started December 2020 by the German Academy of Science and Engineering and the Federation of German Industries. RWE Supply & Trading and H2U are contributing to this with their expertise. Furthermore, the planned LNG Terminal in Brunsbüttel, where RWE intends to book capacity, can be an ideal location for the future import of…

Sasol and Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) have formed a partnership to start exploration of the development of a green hydrogen mobility ecosystem in South Africa. Sasol and TSAM will jointly pursue the development of a proof-of-concept demonstration for a green hydrogen mobility ecosystem. The parties intend to develop a mobility corridor and expand the demonstration to a pilot project using one of South Africa’s main freight corridors, such as the N3 route between Durban and Johannesburg, for hydrogen powered heavy-duty long-haul trucks. To initiate the project, the parties have determined that it would be appropriate to pursue the introduction…

AFC Energy has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Altaaqa Alternative Solutions, headquartered in Saudi Arabia. The MoU is expected to advance discussions between both companies towards a long-term exclusive dealership relationship whereby Altaaqa will initially promote and distribute AFC Energy fuel cell systems across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, prior to the MENA regions. A strategic partnership with Altaaqa is expected to drive new investment into hydrogen fuel cell technology hence promoting a changed energy mix in the region’s power rental industry, and have the potential for expansion into local distribution, assembly and marketing of AFC Energy…

Plug Power, Chart Industries and Baker Hughes intend to become cornerstone investors in the formation of the FiveT Hydrogen Fund. FiveT is a unique new clean-hydrogen-only private infrastructure fund dedicated to delivering clean hydrogen infrastructure projects at scale. Plug Power intends to commit €160 million ($200 million), and Chart Industries and Baker Hughes each intend to commit €50 million respectively ($60 million). The energy industry and many corporations broadly agree the hydrogen economy needs to build scale at speed to succeed and become a key part of the solution to building a net-zero global economy. Investors have an important role…

Chart Industries has completd an investment in Transform Materials in the amount of $25 million for 5% of its equity. Transform Materials is a sustainable chemical technology company that uses microwave plasma to convert natural gas into acetylene and hydrogen. Its highly selective, cost-effective, net-carbon-negative process converts the methane in natural gas into high-value products suitable for direct use or downstream reactions. “We transform methane into acetylene and hydrogen, critical precursors for the synthesis of high-value chemical end products, without using traditional techniques that form carbon dioxide. That means we can meet important future needs of the petrochemical industry without…

Plug Power together with Brookfield Renewable Partners plans to build a green hydrogen production plant located along the Susquehanna River in south-central Pennsylvania utilizing 100% renewable energy from Brookfield’s Holtwood hydroelectric facility. Green hydrogen from this facility will support decarbonization of the broader transportation and logistics industries in the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic. The plant is expected to be online by late 2022, with construction slated to begin by in the first quarter of 2022. Once operational, the plant is projected to produce approximately 15 metric-tons of 100% emissions-free liquid hydrogen per day. It is also expected to create more…
