In order to foster Lingang free trade zone’s growth into a major centre for the hydrogen industry, the Shanghai government has released a policy package. As part of the package, plans have been drawn up for the construction of port terminals for the shipment of green hydrogen, stations for fueling future fleets of hydrogen-powered vehicles, and pilot facilities for producing green hydrogen using wind and solar power. It also includes starting demonstration projects for hydrogen-powered trucks and buses to run in the zone and luring fuel cell electric car manufacturers to set up shop in Lingang. To help corporations all…

In order to facilitate the production of green hydrogen, ammonia, and associated products in India, Posco Holdings and Greenko subsidiary ZeroC have formed a strategic alliance. Greenko’s pumped hydro storage platform and energy storage cloud will be used to continuously deliver renewable power to the green ammonia factory, and the partners intend to collaboratively develop solar and wind capacity as part of this effort. Opportunities for both firms to work together include the export of Posco’s steel materials and their use in the development of infrastructure in India, as well as the generation of competitive renewable energy and the supply…

The Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC) purchased a 5kW fuel cell generator from H2X Global. Hydrogen Centre of Excellence in Queensland, Australia, will make use of a 5 kW fuel cell generator to provide emission-free electricity. PICAC will install a Power H2 unit, which runs on hydrogen fuel cells and has a small hydrogen storage tank. When it opens in October, Australia’s first dedicated hydrogen training facility will be housed here. The Sydney-based Pure Hydrogen, which has a 23% share in H2X Global, managed the sale of the demonstration vehicle.

Topsoe has made the final investment decision (FID) to build the largest SOEC electrolyzer factory in Herning, Denmark. The current annual production capacity of the plant is 500 MW, with room to grow to 5 GW. The first offtake deal has been inked by the company. The corporation is putting in over DKK 2 billion ($270 million), making this their largest investment ever. The new plant will be the largest SOEC factory in the world in terms of annual production capacity, at 500 MW. This is a big step forward for Topsoe, Denmark, and the EU in their efforts to…

The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) has selected Tree Energy Solutions (TES), E.ON, and ENGIE to collaborate on the development and implementation of Germany’s fifth Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU). Starting in the early heating season of 2023, Germany’s fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) will have an annual importing capacity of about 5bcm and help the country become more energy independent and secure by mid-century. TES is constructing Europe’s largest Green Energy Hub in Wilhelmshaven, using a novel approach to transform abundant clean electricity generated in sunny and windy regions into clean hydrogen and…

Energinet and Gasunie have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expedite the development of cross-border hydrogen infrastructure between Denmark and Germany. The critical decision gates on the path to final investment decisions will also be analyzed and outlined by Energinet and Gasunie. A techno-economic prefeasibility study conducted by Energinet and Gasunie Deutschland last year found that Denmark had the ability to meet 10-25% of future German hydrogen consumption. Since then, the Folketing has made several bold political agreements about Power-to-X and the tremendous increase of renewable energy. In light of this, Energinet has begun a feasibility study to determine…

The UK’s leading hydrogen association will meet with lawmakers in September to discuss how best to get the country to net zero emissions. The rally, dubbed “Seizing the UK’s Hydrogen Opportunity,” will bring together businesses and organizations from the energy, transport, and industrial sectors with members of parliament and representatives from the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association in an effort to lobby the government on three key priorities for the hydrogen economy. Among these include quickening the pace of hydrogen storage research and development, crafting a workable transportation strategy, and establishing trustworthy industry guidelines, standards, and regulations. The UK…

Allison Transmission has announced that its Vehicle Electrification + Environmental Test Center is now offering hydrogen fuel cell and compressed natural gas (CNG) testing. Allison has finished installing two phases of hydrogen capability as part of its plan to encourage the use of alternative fuel vehicles that cut emissions. Phase one allows for the secure detection and management of hydrogen gas or flames within the test cell. The same infrastructure can detect and control CNG power plants with equal efficacy. Part two involves a continual flow of low-pressure hydrogen injected into the fuel cell of the vehicle, allowing for longer…

Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Namibia’s minister of foreign relations and cooperation, says the country’s generation of green hydrogen is one way it’s helping to address global problems. According to Nandi-Ndaitwah, this is a massive undertaking in the southern region of Namibia, which has been named by experts as one of the top five places in the world to produce low-carbon hydrogen. In 2026, the facility will begin manufacturing green hydrogen at a rate of 300,000 metric tons per year. Just recently Germany pledged to support hydrogen projects in Namibia. The projects include a hydrogen dual fuel locomotive pilot, a refueling station at…

Kimberly-Clark has struck a contract with Carlton Power to supply hydrogen to the company’s Barrow factory.
