A 134 million euro ($130.80 million) German initiative to aid BASF SE in the manufacture of renewable hydrogen was approved by the European Commission. This will aid in decarbonizing the methods used to produce its chemicals. “This 134 million euro measure enables Germany to help BASF step up its renewable hydrogen production capacities, thereby contributing to the greening of the chemical value chain and of the transport sector,” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said.
Next month, Women in Green Hydrogen will have its first event in Ireland to add to the conversation on Ireland’s energy transition. Women in Green Hydrogen is a global network of more than 1,000 women working in the industry. The event, called Chorus, will bring together people from all walks of life and from many fields of expertise to discuss the Irish energy industry. It will take place in Dublin on November 21. Sheridan serves as the COO of EIH2, one of Ireland’s first green hydrogen businesses. A contract between EIH2 and the ports of Cork and Amsterdam was inked…
The shipping route connecting Hamburg, on Germany’s northwest coast, and Halifax, on Canada’s east coast, is being decarbonized by the Halifax Port Authority and Hamburg Port Authority. Jens Meier, CEO of the Hamburg Port Authority, and Captain Allan Gray, President and CEO of the Halifax Port Authority, signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Hamburg, which is now in effect between the two port authorities. This partnership focuses on port infrastructure for bunkering as well as the import and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives through the ports of Halifax and Hamburg. To increase the use of green energy on…
The RINA Hellas Classification Society’s Antonis Trakakis, Technical Director Marine, believes that greater use of hydrogen as a fuel will ultimately help the maritime industry achieve its aim of lowering emissions by 2050.
Progressus and Alkaline Fuel Cell Power (AFCP) have signed a letter of intent to work together on a joint venture pilot project to find a way for natural gas utilities to directly power both residential and commercial buildings.
A formal distribution deal was reached between Generac Power Systems and EODev, a French researcher and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell power generators with zero emissions. Generac will provide the North American market with EODev’s GEH2, a massive, zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell power generator. Some of the GEH2 generators from Generac’s initial order have already reached the United States. The GEH2 has an immediate start and reduces noise pollution by utilizing a fuel cell and a lithium iron phosphate battery. The GEH2 can deliver up to 110 kVA of power thanks to this combination of power. The GEH2 was designed…
Carlton Power has picked the Langage Energy Park as the location for its third hydrogen hub in the United Kingdom.
In order to promote the hydrogen economy, Chemours plans $200 million investment to boost capacity and enhance technology for its Nafion ion exchange materials.
ACWA Power, a co-sponsor of the Ouarzazate Noor solar power plant, which is Morocco’s renewable energy showcase project, has expressed an interest in investigating additional hydrogen potential in Morocco. The Saudi power generating and desalination expert already has a foothold in Morocco thanks to his work at the Nour facilities and the Halladi wind farm, and now he wants to increase that presence as the country develops its green hydrogen industry. While the local green hydrogen industry is still in its infancy, ACWA Power sees tremendous potential in the North African market thanks to Morocco’s expanding renewable energy capacity and…
As part of their plan to establish an electrolyser assembly line and polysilicon production plant in India, Steinbeis signed a memorandum of understanding with Waaree Energies and DSE Consortium Germany. The collaboration will also be in charge of introducing solar thermal technologies to India, which will be used to convert the country’s coal fire plants into environmentally friendly power plants. In addition, they will begin working together to build solar power facilities in Africa. At the 26th Conference of Parties in Glasgow, UK, India pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. This…
