Australian Gas Networks, which is part of the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group, has expanded the delivery of renewable hydrogen to new customers at Hydrogen Park South Australia in its first year of operation. Hydrogen Park South Australia (HyP SA) has been supplying up to 5% blended renewable gas to over 700 homes in the Adelaide suburb of Mitchell Park since May 2021. HyP SA has facilitated engagement with thousands of stakeholders and visitors interested in learning more about a renewable gas future, in addition to its direct environmental benefits. With a capacity of 1.25MW, the $14.5 million facility is Australia’s…

Enagás Infraestructuras de Hidrogeno was established by Enagás to make Spain a major producer of green hydrogen. It also wants to use the more than 11,000 kilometers of gas pipelines and underground storage facilities it has in Spain to transport and store green hydrogen. Enagás announced the acquisition of a 30 percent stake in its renewables subsidiary by Clean H2 Infra Fund at the end of February. Ardian and FiveT are in charge of the fund. Both are founders of HY24, the world’s first major global investment platform focused solely on “green” hydrogen infrastructure solutions. It is the result of…

Loop Energy will supply fuel cell modules to Aluminium Revolutionary Chassis Company (ARCC) in the Australian bus market. For the first time, Loop Energy has a customer in Australia, a sign of the country’s growing interest in hydrogen-powered vehicles. In ARCC’s 12.5-meter Viking Hydrolight city bus model, Loop Energy’s T600 (60 kW) fuel cell module will be integrated. Australia’s ARCC-designed lightweight chassis, which uses an aluminum frame and is primarily bolted, with less than 5% weld parts, will be used for this city bus. Compared to other electric buses on the market, the lighter bus weight, when combined with Loop…

A Letter of Intent has been signed by Westinghouse Electric Company and Bloom Energy to pursue commercial nuclear power plant clean hydrogen production. Across the nuclear industry, the companies are working together to find and implement clean hydrogen projects. An integrated high-temperature electrolysis solution for the nuclear industry will be developed by Westinghouse and Bloom Energy. Nuclear power plants are well-suited to use electrolyzer technology to produce large quantities of clean hydrogen with minimal disruption to their current operations because of their ability to run around the clock and provide high-quality steam input. A tenfold or more increase in demand…

SalmoNor is gearing up to construct the first hydrogen-powered workboat for the aquaculture industry. According to the NTS group’s newly acquired family-run salmon farm, a final investment decision will be made by the end of June. The price hasn’t been made public. Bunkering, or refuelling the ship, has been proven to be fully developed and is ready for construction, according to this report. The ready-to-build concept features a 145 kW fuel cell and four separate tanks with a combined hydrogen storage capacity of 120 kilograms. The boat is powered by two 105-kilowatt electric propulsion engines, a 276-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and…

In India’s southern Karnataka state, renewable energy firm ACME Group plans to invest $6.70 billion over the next five years to build a green hydrogen and ammonia plant. By 2030, India plans to produce five million tonnes of green hydrogen per year in order to meet its climate goals and become a production and export center for the fuel. It will be able to produce 1.2 million tonnes of hydrogen and ammonia a year at the new plant, which will create about 2,000 jobs. It will be powered by solar panels as well. The environmental credentials of green hydrogen, which…

According to a senior government official, India intends to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production from $5 to $6 per kilogram in order to incentivize industry to switch to cleaner energy sources. The country also wants access to lower-cost loans in order to help fund this transition. According to a roadmap released in February by the third-largest carbon emitter, China is planning to become a hub for producing and exporting green hydrogen, a fuel that is yet to be commercially viable. According to Kant, New Delhi wants the World Bank and other global funders to set up guarantee programs…

Tuco Marine and Blue World Technologies have formed a partnership to develop methanol fuel cell-powered workboats. Blue World and Tuco have agreed to develop and demonstrate a flexible methanol fuel cell solution for electric workboats to ensure long range, no harmful emissions, and a net-zero operation. The Blue World methanol fuel cell technology offers a green alternative to the maritime industry, and the flexible fuel cell-powered solution can be used for auxiliary power or propulsion, depending on the boat type. It is adaptable in terms of space available or placement on the ship due to its flexibility. The methanol fuel…

H2 Industries and the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) have signed a memorandum of understanding. President of SCZone Yehia Zaki and Michael Stusch, CEO of H2 Industries, signed a memorandum of understanding to build a waste-to-green-fuel plant in the East Port Said region with a production capacity of 300,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. This is one of the sectors targeted by the authority as part of the Egyptian government’s strategy to transition to a green economy, as well as Egypt’s hosting of the COP27 Climate Change Summit in November. Stusch, for one, stated that the establishment of this…

Actuation Lab has been awarded a £218,000 contract by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy to address one of the biggest issues holding back the sustainable transition to hydrogen after extensive R&D work in the flow control sector. Leakage of hydrogen is a serious problem for the hydrogen supply chain because hydrogen leaks much faster than natural gas, which is estimated to lose 80 million tonnes per year to the atmosphere. We can’t sustainably transition to hydrogen use at scale without some clever innovation in the equipment used to distribute it, because hydrogen has a low ignition energy…
