Greenstat has lofty goals and expansion plans for renewable energy in general, and hydrogen in particular. Greenstat Hydrogen India is the company’s first venture. “Asia and the emerging economies are an incredibly exciting and attractive market for Greenstat, and for exporting Norwegian competence and technology in sustainability. We have established a network in India and are seeing a lot of positive attitudes towards co-operating with Norwegian entities. That’s why we’ve chosen to invest here when looking towards Asia,” Vegard Frihammer says, CEO in Greenstat. Export profits in Norway have plummeted in recent years, necessitating the search for new markets. As…

The international company ATOME Energy, which is currently working on projects in Iceland and Paraguay to produce, sell, and market green hydrogen and ammonia, provided an update on mobility operations in Paraguay. As a result, ATOME Mobility is committed to providing a clean energy solution for road transportation and shipping, two industries that are difficult to combat with battery alternatives. ATOME Mobility’s core equipment has been procured from the UK by AECOM, who has been appointed to provide engineering consulting services. AECOM is a Fortune 500 infrastructure consulting firm headquartered in the United States with over 50,000 employees worldwide. ATOME…

Cooperation between Sri Lanka and a Norwegian company, Greenstat Hydrogen from India, will see the country embark on an ambitious project to produce environmentally-friendly green hydrogen. Udya Gammanpila, the Energy Minister, announced that the Petroleum Development Authority of Sri Lanka (PDASL) had signed an MOU with Greenstat Hydrogen to begin a pilot project for the production of green hydrogen in the island nation. The government has made a decision to work toward decarbonization by the year 2050 as a long-term objective. Sri Lanka will have to make the switch from fossil fuel to green energy production in order to meet…

McLaren Applied and BAK Motors have agreed to work together on component development for a hydrogen hybrid hypercar. McLaren will develop and supply drivetrain components for the Kincsem Hyper GT and SUV, including inverters and motors, as part of the strategic agreement. The Kincsem Hyper GT and SUV is also known as the world’s first nano-photonic light activated solid-state hydrogen hybrid hyper-car. McLaren will delve deeper into the hydrogen industry and support the growing hydrogen community as a result of this. McLaren Applied’s new IPG5 800V Silicon Carbide inverter has been chosen by BAK Motors to maximize the vehicle’s range…

Dr. Peter Williams has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of First Hydrogen UK. His appointment will aid in the expansion of First Hydrogen’s UK subsidiary, which is tasked with developing the world’s first hydrogen-fueled and zero-emission utility vehicles, as well as green hydrogen production and distribution. Peter is currently the Head of Investor Relations and Group Technology Director at INEOS, a global chemical company. Prior to joining INEOS, Peter spent more than two decades at British Petroleum (BP), where he held senior positions in business, technology, and strategy. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director for V-Carbon, a company…

The Green Hydrogen project, which DEWA is implementing at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa. The 10,000-square-metre pilot plant was designed and built to accommodate future applications and testing facilities for various hydrogen applications, including energy generation and transportation. Electrolysis using renewable energy sources produces green hydrogen. This technology allows for the long-term storage of large amounts of energy. Hydrogen, for example, can be re-electrified using gas motors, gas turbines, and fuel cells. It can also…

National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, the utility division of National Fuel Gas Company, has announced its participation in the Building the Clean Hydrogen Economy consortium. Consortium members will collaborate to develop and launch innovative pilot projects that use clean hydrogen to decarbonize heavy transportation, increase renewables integration, and decarbonize the US energy sector more broadly, led by Guidehouse, a leading global provider of consulting services to public sector and commercial clients. At least three hydrogen pilot projects are being planned by the consortium’s working groups: heavy duty transportation in the Southwest, green ammonia production in New York, and integrated blue…

The EU is working on a new definition of “green hydrogen.” The Institute of Energy Economics (EWI) published a policy brief that illustrates the potential effects on electrolyzers. A definition of “green” hydrogen is being developed by the European Commission. Hydrogen must be produced using green electricity, according to one of the expected criteria. Furthermore, electricity generated from renewable energy (RE) sources should be timed and balanced with the electrolyser’s electricity consumption. The simultaneity obligation is what it’s called. If the EU interprets this simultaneity obligation strictly, indirect emissions in the electricity sector will decrease, but electrolysers will be significantly…

Bramble Energy has received just under £1 million in government funding from BEIS (Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy) to further develop their hydrogen fuel cell technology, which could save 50,000 tonnes of CO2 per year by replacing diesel engines in boats. The one-of-a-kind fuel cell will serve as the foundation for a fully compliant demonstrator vessel, which is critical for rapid hydrogen adoption on inland waterways. Bramble Energy and its partners will use the funds to form a strong, UK-based commercial consortium to develop a cost-effective fuel cell system for mass maritime decarbonization. Bramble Energy will lead the…

The permit process for the 25 megawatt green hydrogen production unit in Zeebrugge is being managed by Sweco. This is a first for Belgium, and it strengthens the country’s hydrogen ambitions even more. The Hyoffwind consortium (Virya Energy and Fluxys) has chosen John Cockerill and BESIX as their technology partners as well as design and construction partners. It is Sweco’s responsibility to secure the necessary permits and subsidies for this green hydrogen electrolysis plant, which will be built and operated by the company. Green hydrogen developments in the Netherlands and Belgium are being supported by our energy specialists, who have…
