The European Commission is collaborating with the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center of EIT InnoEnergy to accelerate and de-risk green hydrogen projects. EIT InnoEnergy was founded in 2010 and is funded in part by the EU in order to accelerate Europe’s energy transition. Breakthrough Energy funded the establishment of the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC) in 2020. EGHAC fosters industrial players by assisting in the de-risking and acceleration of green hydrogen (and derivatives) projects. This is accomplished by EGHAC through early-stage investment and acceleration services provided in collaboration with its ecosystem. Furthermore, EGHAC assists green hydrogen projects by evaluating…

Torvex Energy collaborated closely with the Material Processing Institute to validate an innovative and “game-changing” method of producing environmentally friendly hydrogen from seawater that does not emit oxygen gas. The independent research and development company in Stockton-on-Tees has patents pending on its unique electrochemical process and has worked with the Institute to establish proof of concept. Torvex Energy, which is backed by an angel investor, has spent several years refining the process to ensure it generates green hydrogen of the highest purity and output. It is now looking for partners and meeting with interested parties in order to move from…

Safran Power Units has placed new orders for Advent’s proprietary Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs). Advent’s proprietary high temperature proton exchange membrane technology is used in the MEAs (HT-PEM). Advent’s MEAs were first delivered in the first quarter of 2022, and deliveries are expected to continue into the second quarter. The MEAs will aid Safran Power Units’ research and development efforts. MEAs are the heart of the fuel cell, and their performance determines the end electrochemistry products’ lifetime, efficiency, weight, and, to a large extent, cost. Advent’s MEAs can work with impure hydrogen, which can be reformed on-board from methanol, natural…

Next Hydrogen Solutions and Black & Veatch have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide industrial customers with a complete and integrated solution for producing large-scale green hydrogen. Next Hydrogen will combine its technology and electrolysis expertise with Black & Veatch’s market leadership in large-scale industrial engineering solutions to target a wide range of industrial and transportation applications around the world. “Next Hydrogen is excited to work with Black & Veatch to develop an integrated large-scale green hydrogen solution,” says Raveel Afzaal, President and CEO of Next Hydrogen. “We believe Black & Veatch’s vast industry network and proven engineering…

Saudi Arabia’s National Hydrogen Strategy, which is currently being finalized, aims to attract more than $36 billion in investment by 2030, according to a senior official from the country’s Energy Ministry. Clean hydrogen production, export and domestic use as well as industry infrastructure and transportation are all key components of this strategy, according to Energy Minister Ahmed Al-Dowsary. Speaking at an IRENA-hosted virtual event on Tuesday, he said the Kingdom would focus on five priority areas during the implementation stage. He stated that Saudi Arabia is willing to work with all IRENA member countries on hydrogen synergies, and that discussions…

The UK government has committed to creating a new public body to improve the energy system’s resilience. The Future System Operator (FSO), which will be established once legislation has been passed and timelines have been discussed with key stakeholders, will examine the entire British energy system, integrating existing networks with emerging technologies such as hydrogen. The FSO will be a new public body based on the Electricity System Operator’s (ESO) and, where applicable, National Grid Gas’ existing capabilities (NGG). It will work with energy suppliers and networks to balance the UK’s electricity systems and ensure that households and businesses have…

Air Products has chosen thyssenkrupp nucera to supply alkaline water electrolysis technology for a 10 metric ton per day facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, that will produce green liquid hydrogen. Thyssenkrupp nucera will deliver two large-scale alkaline water electrolysis standard modules under this contract. The project has started, and the facility is expected to be operational in 2023. Using Air Products’ proprietary technology, gaseous hydrogen will be converted to liquid hydrogen. The manufacturing facility will also include a distribution terminal for Air Products, which will distribute the product to the mobility market in California and other parts of the United…

Green Hydrogen Systems has agreed to supply electrolysis equipment for a project in Scotland with Edinburgh-based Logan Energy. Two GHS HyProvide A90 electrolysers with a combined capacity of 0.9 MW are included in the order. The electrolysers will be installed as part of a complete green hydrogen plant in a 40-foot container at the ARBIKIE Distillery in Scotland. Green Hydrogen Systems will deliver the electrolyser units and, as part of a three-year service agreement, will provide on-site maintenance, remote monitoring, and support for the project. The ARBIKIE project will consist of a single 1MW wind turbine on the distillery’s farmland,…

Hyundai and Advent Technologies have signed a technology assessment, sales, and development agreement to bring green energy solutions to current high-carbon applications using fuel cell technology. Hyundai will provide catalysts to Advent for testing in its proprietary Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs), and Advent will assist Hyundai in meeting its fuel cell project requirements. After the first phase of the project is completed, the companies will work closely together to define specific product requirements, collaborative product goals, and milestones for achieving established goals and plans for phase 2, which will include Advent’s stack cooling technology. L’Innovator, Advent’s joint development program with…

Green Hydrogen Systems has signed an agreement with Gaznat to deliver electrolysis equipment for its Innovation Lab in Switzerland. The contract calls for the delivery of a GHS HyProvide A90 electrolyser with a 0.5 MW capacity for the production of green hydrogen from renewable solar energy. The electrolyser, which will be manufactured by Green Hydrogen Systems and operated by Gaznat, will be installed in a 20-foot container as a complete green hydrogen plant. The ordered electrolyser will be able to produce approximately 195 kg of green hydrogen per day once it is fully operational. With a new and innovative methanation…
