Samsung C&T is asserting its position in the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) market with a new Technical Advisory (TA) agreement in Estonia.
HydePoint AS and Nel Hydrogen have taken a decisive step toward revolutionizing hydrogen production, signing a Memorandum of Understanding to advance projects in offshore and nearshore environments.
In the latest signal that hydrogen infrastructure still has critical reliability gaps to address, emergency services were deployed to the Wunsiedel Energy Park in Bavaria after a hydrogen leak was detected on-site. The incident, triggered by a technical failure in an automatic safety valve, led to a temporary evacuation but no injuries. While the hydrogen was safely vented and operations resumed within hours, the episode has reignited questions about the operational maturity of hydrogen facilities in Europe and beyond. Systemic Risk in Early-Stage Infrastructure The Wunsiedel leak is not an isolated case but part of a growing pattern of technical…
BGR Tech and Chemie Tech have teamed up to spearhead large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia projects, a collaboration that signifies a notable shift in the energy sector’s approach to sustainable solutions.
Ignis has announced a substantial investment exceeding 51 million euros in Aragón to bolster the production of green hydrogen and steam, a move that reflects the region’s growing emphasis on sustainable energy solutions. Aragón, already a strategic point for renewable energy advancements in Spain, stands to benefit significantly from this allocation as it seeks to enhance its profile in the clean energy sector. The company plans to leverage local renewable electricity sources to generate green hydrogen, which will potentially be utilized across various industries in Aragón, including chemical, industrial processing, and transportation sectors. The pressing challenge remains the economic feasibility…
Air Liquide has initiated the sale of RFNBO-certified hydrogen at its facility in Oberhausen, Germany. This marks the first time RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) certified hydrogen is available for mobility and industrial clients in Germany. The certification applies to the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) Electrolyzer, nicknamed “Trailblazer,” located at this German site. The introduction of certified RFNBO hydrogen not only represents a commitment towards decarbonizing transport and industrial sectors but also highlights the potential for cleaner hydrogen as a viable alternative to current fossil fuel-based options. As industries strive for carbon neutrality, this development provides a certified renewable…
With the European Union aiming for a 55% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, industries are increasingly scrutinizing their energy sources. A recent study in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy examines a novel approach combining high-temperature electrolysis with industrial waste heat to produce green hydrogen on-site. This strategy not only seeks to capitalize on the potential of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) but also aims to leverage existing industrial processes to enhance sustainability. According to the report, the SOEC system utilizes photovoltaic energy coupled with industrial waste heat, effectively optimizing resource use. The Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) in…
Sunfire to supply a 10 MW electrolyzer for a green hydrogen initiative in Bilbao signifies a noteworthy advancement in the renewable energy landscape.
The current state of the hydrogen sector appears less promising than anticipated, seeing a rating decline from 11 to 9 out of 25 this year. The 1H 2025 Hydrogen Market Outlook by BloombergNEF sheds light on this situation by examining core factors impacting the industry’s trajectory. Hydrogen Market and Economic Components The cost of hydrogen production remains a significant barrier, reflected in the latest market assessments. High production costs are not matched by equivalent demand, a discrepancy exacerbated by insufficient policy support aimed at mediating this economic chasm. This mismatch is largely responsible for dampening investment rates, leading to the…
