OCP Group, Shell, and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) have agreed to collaborate on a pilot project to evaluate the feasibility of large-scale production of low-carbon ammonia using hydrogen generated from renewable energy. The pilot project will include a small facility that creates hydrogen to produce ammonia, simulating renewable energy as a power source, with the goal of scaling up using hydrogen produced from renewable energy instead of oil and gas sources for ammonia production. The pilot project will take place in Morocco’s Jorf Lasfar industrial area.

Pilot Energy provides an update on its recently completed feasibility studies in the Mid West region. Pilot announced the start of key studies in August 2021 to assess the feasibility and economics of a large-scale clean hydrogen production project utilizing the Company’s existing oil and gas production operations, as well as to recommend a development path. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and renewable energy generation are required for the transition to clean hydrogen production. Pilot is well positioned to contribute to the energy transition by utilizing the world-class CCS and renewable resources of Western Australia’s Mid West region. The Mid…

As part of ongoing efforts to diversify the region’s energy portfolio, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas will establish a hub for the development, production, and use of hydrogen as a fuel and manufacturing feedstock. The recently announced partnership will allow the three states to compete for federal funding through the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act of 2021, which will be available to states that produce large amounts of hydrogen. The act mandates the creation of regional clean hydrogen hubs by the US Department of Energy. Hydrogen is used in a variety of manufacturing processes, and it’s becoming more popular as a…

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a Nel ASA subsidiary, has received a firm order for an alkaline electrolyser system to supply green hydrogen to the European market from an undisclosed European customer. Hydrogen produced through alkaline electrolysis and to be delivered to a cutting-edge project that will supply multiple customers with green hydrogen. The order’s total cost is around EUR 3 million.

Plug Power’s new green hydrogen production facility in Genesee County, New York, will use two 500,000-gallon double-wall liquid hydrogen spheres designed and built by McDermott’s storage company, CB&I. Proton exchange membrane electrolyzer technology from Plug Power is expected to produce 45 metric tons of green liquid hydrogen per day, making it North America’s largest green hydrogen plant. Construction of the two spheres, which includes engineering, procurement, and construction, will take place on Plug Power’s 30-acre site in WNY STAMP, the Western New York Science, Technology, and Advanced Manufacturing Park. With an internal design pressure of 30 pounds per square inch…

The National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Alliance and Mitacs Accelerate Grants Program have approved and awarded $1.2 million in non-repayable funds to Innova Hydrogen and the University of Alberta for a joint research project titled “Decarbonizing Canada’s Hydrogen Production Using Low-Cost Methane Pyrolysis Catalytic Reactors.” Innova is looking forward to working with the University of Alberta to improve and advance its low-cost methane pyrolysis technology. The National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) is Canada’s primary funding agency for natural science and engineering research. NSERC provides direct funding for research and training to university professors, students, and Canadian…

To accelerate the development of a German hydrogen industry and infrastructure, OGE and RWE collaborate on the “H2ercules” national infrastructure concept. The infrastructure will link electrolysers, as well as storage and import facilities, in Germany’s north with industrial consumers in the west and south. By 2030, additional import routes from the south and east that are currently under construction will be connected. As a result, H2ercules is on track to become the backbone of a hydrogen infrastructure that connects the North Sea coast to southern Germany. The first major corporations, such as thyssenkrupp, have expressed interest in joining such a…

As part of a more than £10 million funding round, HydrogenOne Capital Growth and Safran Corporate Ventures have signed definitive agreements for a joint investment in Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS). In this round of funding, HGEN is putting in £7 million and Safran Corporate Ventures is putting in £3.5 million. Each company is entitled to a board seat at CAeS as a result of the purchase of a minority equity stake. CAeS is a market leader in the design and manufacture of new aircraft design concepts, complex modifications to existing aircraft, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies to address the…

Nel ASA is currently engaged in advanced commercial negotiations with two independent customers regarding the sale of contracts with a combined value of approximately EUR 3 million. The scope of one of the contracts includes an alkaline electrolyser system, while the scope of the other contract includes hydrogen-fueled fueling modules. Both of the potential contracts are in the Europe Negotiations are still ongoing, and there can be no assurance that the various parties involved will come to an agreement on the terms of supply contracts that is acceptable to both parties involved.

As part of their multi-GW Power-to-X project pipeline, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Sunfire have signed a framework agreement to supply up to 640 MW of electrolysis. Industrial electrolysis systems, which are currently hard to come by, are needed to help CIP’s Power-to-X projects reach their full potential. CIP has significantly increased its electrolysis capacity as a result of its partnership with Sunfire. The CIP and Blue Earth Capital (Blue Earth) also participated in Sunfire’s latest capital raising, which enables the company’s hydrogen technologies to be scaled up further. “This agreement adds huge value for all parties involved”, says Sunfire…
