A new university-industry joint research platform has been established to study and develop hydrogen, an energy vector capable of playing a critical role in achieving global climate goals. The Hydrogen Joint Research Platform (Hydrogen JRP) was established by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Milano, and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A., in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A. The Hydrogen JRP will support innovative studies and research in several areas, including the production of clean hydrogen, such as green hydrogen and low-carbon hydrogen; associated transportation…

The EU’s plan to mandate green hydrogen in the EU energy mix by 2030 could drive up demand for electricity by almost one-fifth, new Transport & Environment (T&E) analysis shows.

Frames is designing a modular and skid-mounted LOHC Storage Plant in collaboration with Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and MAN Energy Solutions for what will be Europe’s first industrial scale LOHC plant. The plant in Cologne, located at CHEMPARK Dormagen, Germany, will be able to store 5 tons of hydrogen per day thanks to Hydrogenious’ LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier) technology. A hydrogen-powered car can typically travel half a million kilometers on 5 tons of hydrogen.Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, Frames Group, and MAN Energy Solutions formed a partnership in 2019 to design, supply, and start-up industrial-scale hydrogen storage plants using Hydrogenious’ LOHC technology.…

AKM Earth has signed a term sheet with Pure Hydrogen’s newly formed subsidiary Pure X Mobility. Pure X Mobility will develop and supply hydrogen as well as seven hydrogen fuel cell trucks for AKM Earth’s Raw Skips business, according to the term sheet. AKM Earth is an environmental management services company based in southeast Queensland that is dedicated to sustainability and reducing the impact on quarries and landfills. Over the expected seven-year supply term, the trucks are cost-effective and capable of delivering “considerable” fuel savings. The hydrogen fuel cells, according to the company, are about twice as efficient as traditional…

The Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium has been awarded funding from the UK Government’s Department of Business, Energy, Innovation and Skills’ Energy Innovation Portfolio competition (BEIS). ScottishPower’s 20MW Whitelee Windfarm hydrogen production and storage facility will receive £9.4 million in Energy Innovation Portfolio funding to support the first phase of development. ScottishPower, BOC, and ITM Power are the partners in the Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium. The Energy Innovation Portfolio funding will go toward a 10MW electrolyser and four tonnes of storage, which will be the first phase of a 20MW facility that will be built at Whitelee Wind Farm…

Plug Power, a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen market, has announced the location of its European headquarters in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Plug Power, which has had a significant presence in Europe for over ten years, is expanding its investment on the continent in order to develop and grow the green hydrogen economy through the establishment of a new European headquarters. The company has direct maritime supply chain connections to Antwerp, Belgium, and Rotterdam, Netherlands, thanks to Duisburg, the world’s largest inland port. Plug Power will be able to take advantage of the Duisburg…

One of myFC’s patents has been approved in several countries, according to the European Patent Office. It is possible to distribute hydrogen gas individually to the fuel cells using the electrochemically operated valve that the patent protects. “It enables a cost-effective, individually adapted and more gentle operation, and provides better overall efficiency,” says Sebastian Weber, technical manager at myFC. When a system with multiple fuel cells, known as FCAs (Fuel Cell Assembly), is in operation, a common flow of hydrogen gas is distributed to the various cells. The FCAs in the same system operate with some variation in working mode,…

The Port of Townsville and Edify Energy have signed a MoU to work together to advance Edify’s renewable hydrogen export project. The signing of the MoU follows Edify’s recent development approval to build and operate a renewable hydrogen production plant with up to 1GW electrolyser for 5,000 – 150,000 H2 tonnes per year of renewable hydrogen at the Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct, 46km south of Townsville. Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen Mick de Brenni said Queensland has a track record of creating energy export industry and the Palaszczuk Government was getting the investment settings right to capitalise on renewable hydrogen.…

A new consortium has been awarded £2.94 million in funding with the goal of incorporating hydrogen into whiskey production. The UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will provide the funds to enable the consortium to scale up the hydrogen-based technology and conduct hydrogen trials at Beam Suntory’s Glen Garioch distillery in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Over the course of the 21-month project, Supercritical will advance its technology and complete an industrial hydrogen trial at Beam Suntory’s Glen Garioch distillery, producing approximately 57,000 bottles of hydrogen-distilled whisky. These bottles will be the first hydrogen-fired bottles of whisky produced on a large…

Scatec and its partners, OCI NV, Fertiglobe, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt, and Orascom Construction, have chosen Plug Power as the electrolyser technology provider for the 100 MW green hydrogen facility to be built in Egypt.
