As part of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy’s ‘Acid and Renewable Energy Core Technology Development Project,’ Korea Institute of Technology (KTL) is promoting the design technology development of the clean hydrogen certification system. To aid the transition to a hydrogen economy, KTL intends to establish a Korean clean hydrogen certification system by 2023 and promote international clean hydrogen standards. In the first year, KTL gathers data for establishing a hydrogen certification system by investigating the current state of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated throughout the hydrogen production process, from the input of raw materials to storage and transportation.…

H2 Matchmaker, a tool that helps clean hydrogen producers, end users, and other people find ways to build networks of production, storage, and transportation infrastructure, has gone live. It shows a map based on information that was sent in through an online form, which stakeholders can use to connect with people who live near them. A regional hydrogen hub is a group of hydrogen producers, hydrogen consumers, and infrastructure that are all close together. Using H2 Matchmaker, hydrogen producers, end-users, and other stakeholders can identify and align potential needs in specific geographic areas in the United States. This will make…

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, a major player in the South Korean power industry, collaborated with a local power plant design and engineering firm to develop an environmentally friendly hydrogen turbine power plant that generates electricity by burning hydrogen extracted from ammonia. In a micro-reforming system, hydrogen can be produced by burning and reforming ammonia. Ammonia is thought to be an ideal resource for establishing an environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure. Doosan Heavy will develop key components of a hydrogen turbine and ammonia reforming facilities, while KEPCO E&C will develop overall power plant engineering technologies. Because they reduce fine…

A shortlist of potential development partners for a proposed 600MW green hydrogen production and export facility planned for New Zealand’s South Island includes two of Australia’s most prominent energy players, Fortescue Future Industries and oil and gas giant Woodside Energy. Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia’s iron ore giant Fortescue Metals Group, and Woodside Energy, Australia’s leading natural gas producer, have made a shortlist of four companies to collaborate on the 600MW Southern Green Hydrogen project with Meridian Energy and Contact Energy from New Zealand. Meridian Energy and Contact Energy want to build a large-scale green…

The green hydrogen investment platform Hy2gen has closed a €200 million funding round. The funds will be used to build facilities in a variety of locations, including Europe, to produce green hydrogen-based fuels (also known as “e-fuels”) for maritime and ground transportation, aviation, and industrial applications. Hy24, Mirova, CDPQ, and strategic investor Technip Energies are leading the investment, which is the largest private green hydrogen-focused capital raise to date1. Cyril Dufau-Sansot, CEO of Hy2gen said: “As early as 2021, we were looking for the best possible combination of financial and strategic investors to build e-fuel production facilities. These have the…

RWE and Neptune Energy signed a Joint Development Agreement to develop the offshore green hydrogen demonstration project “H2opZee” before 2030. H2opZee is a demonstration project aimed at constructing a 300 to 500 megawatt (MW) electrolyzer capacity far out in the Dutch North Sea to produce green hydrogen using offshore wind. After that, the hydrogen will be transported to land via an existing pipeline. With a capacity of 10 to 12 gigawatts (GW), the pipeline is already capable of bringing green hydrogen production to gigawatt scale in the North Sea. The feasibility study is expected to begin in the second quarter…

TECO2030 signs strategic cooperation agreement with Al Misehal Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The strategic cooperation agreement aims to result in a Joint Venture between the parties with the purpose of conducting business which will reduce environmental impact in the KSA. The parties will form a joint venture for operations in Saudi Arabia. Fuel cell stacks will be manufactured at the TECO2030 Innovation Center in Narvik, and fuel cell modules with a power output capacity of 400 kW will be manufactured at a later date in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Further a full sales and marketing…

Hydrogen Technologies (HT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jericho Energy Ventures, has signed memorandums of understanding with two major North American food companies to investigate the use and integration of its DCCTM Hydrogen Boiler to provide zero-emission steam for use in food processing and commercial facilities. The collaboration will start with a few facilities, with the goal of eventually rolling out the DCCTM boilers across both companies. JEV will first conduct a front-end engineering evaluation to determine the process design that will meet the specific steam requirements of selected facilities, including optimal hydrogen and oxygen production, storage, and typical balance…

Airbus has signed a Cooperation Agreement with Changi Airport Group, Linde, a global industrial gases and engineering company, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) to investigate the feasibility of establishing a future hydrogen hub in Singapore. Sabine Klauke, Airbus Chief Technical Officer, Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Yam Kum Weng, Executive Vice President of Changi Airport Group, and John Panikar, Executive Vice President, APAC of Linde signed the agreement at the Singapore Airshow. It reflects the four partners’ shared goal of leveraging their individual expertise to help the aviation industry decarbonize and…

Hyoffwind, a Belgian consortium, has agreed to design and build a green hydrogen production unit in Zeebrugge with John Cockerill and BESIX. This agreement marks a new milestone for Hyoffwind, which is leading the way in the development of hydrogen technology in accordance with the Flemish, Belgian, and European hydrogen strategies. A consortium representing the entire energy value chain is working on the Hyoffwind project. The consortium, which includes Virya Energy (renewable energy generation and sale) and Fluxys (green molecule transmission), aims to build a power-to-gas facility that can convert renewable electricity into green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is an important…
