Researchers at the National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI” are working on new environmentally friendly catalysts for producing hydrogen from water, as well as materials for storing and transporting this fuel. Researchers at the university hope their findings will lead to more affordable, environmentally friendly, and safe hydrogen energy. Hydrogen can be produced in a variety of ways, the simplest of which is electrolysis, which involves splitting water using an electric current. Solar panels and nuclear power plants, both of which do not use carbon fuel, are examples of current sources. There is an active research effort at the NRNU MEPhI…

A leading US power and gas utility has awarded a contract to Nel Hydrogen US, a Nel subsidiary, for a containerized PEM electrolyzer and light duty hydrogen fueling station package. For a power plant in the United States, Nel Hydrogen US has been awarded a contract for a containerized PEM electrolyzer and 700 bar H2Station hydrogen fueling equipment package. In addition to cooling turbine generators and injecting hydrogen into the natural gas fuel stream at the plant, this project will demonstrate the use of green hydrogen to fuel a fleet of light-duty fuel cell vehicles operated by the utility. Solar…

The International University of Andalusia in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) will hold its first Meeting on Green Hydrogen on February 10 to discuss the replacement of traditional fuels based on oil and coal with hydrogen from renewable energies in various sectors, as well as the consequences and challenges posed by the Hydrogen Roadmap. In the seminar, José Manuel Andjar Márquez, director of the Center for Research in Technology, Energy, and Sustainability at the University of Huelva, will discuss ‘the uses and advantages of green hydrogen’ However, Huelva University professor Mara del Carmen Sánchez Carrillo, director of the secretariat of…

Equinor has joined the Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS) as a member organization. With its headquarters in Stavanger, Norway, Equinor serves as a world-class oil and gas company committed to providing affordable energy for society and taking the lead in accelerating the growth of renewables and pioneering the development of value chains for carbon capture as well as hydrogen. The addition of Equinor to the group of more than 70 world-renowned organizations dedicated to safe hydrogen use and information exchange further strengthens the already impressive membership roster. As part of Equinor’s early-stage efforts to convert natural gas to low-carbon hydrogen,…

Enersense and P2X have agreed to form a significant partnership in relation to both the construction and later maintenance of the hydrogen production plant. The news follows Enersense’s announcement that it will invest EUR 13 million in P2X Solutions Oy. In terms of the investment, P2X announced that it has approved a EUR 70 million investment decision for the construction of Finland’s first green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta. The green hydrogen production plant in the Harjavalta Industrial Park will have a capacity of 20 MW, and construction will begin in the autumn of 2022. The plant’s construction is expected…

HydrogenPro has signed a contract with Mitsubishi Power Americas for the initial delivery of 40 electrolysers, making it one of the largest electrolyzer system contracts ever signed. HydrogenPro’s scope of work is valued at over USD 50 million at the outset of the contract. Other companies will provide the EPC and other system deliverables needed to build a turnkey electrolyser green hydrogen production plant. In the United States, the green hydrogen will be used to generate electricity. “This is a major breakthrough for HydrogenPro. It demonstrates that our technology is well suited for large-scale projects such as this, which will…

Hive Energy, a British renewable energy developer, will use Fusion Fuel Green’s pioneering solar-to-hydrogen technology to develop and build a green hydrogen production plant in Spain. The project, which aims to produce 7,500 metric tons of green hydrogen each year, is currently in the administrative processing stage of development. The project is expected to begin construction in 2023. João Wahnon, Fusion Fuel’s Head of Business Development, offered: “we are excited to announce our inaugural project with Hive Energy in Spain where we will be able to harness the excellent solar resource to drive high yields from our HEVO Solar technology.…

KEYOU, a hydrogen technology company based in Munich, and HOERBIGER, a leading automotive supplier worldwide, have joined forces to develop injection technology for hydrogen engines. Joint development, production, and commercialization of hydrogen injectors have recently been agreed upon by both companies. For the high-performance heavy-duty segment, PFI injectors are being developed. Both companies share a common goal: to hasten the introduction of hydrogen engines to the market through the use of cutting-edge hydrogen technologies. “The injector”, explains Thomas Korn, co-founder and CEO of KEYOU GmbH, “is one of the key components of our ‘KEYOU-inside system’, which can be integrated into…

As hydrogen fuel becomes commercially available, Bergen Engines has launched a comprehensive test program to ensure that the company can make a smooth transition from liquid natural gas to 100% green hydrogen fuel. It has been successfully completed the first tests on a B-Series Bergen gas engine, which is running on 15 percent hydrogen and 85 percent natural gas, without any hardware adjustments. While emissions of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were reduced at all load levels, the power output was maintained in accordance with the design specifications. The lower levels of unburned hydrocarbons and methane leakage have also been…

Jericho Energy Ventures’ wholly owned subsidiary, Hydrogen Technologies, has added a new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). When it comes to the company’s commercial activities, Dean will take on the new role of overseeing HT’s expansion to take advantage of the ever-growing global demand for its breakthrough, zero-emission hydrogen DCCTM boiler solution for steam or hot water, a clean district heating solution or carbon-free Combined Heat and Power (CHP) enabler. Dean has over 30 years of successful experience in the global energy markets, developing, selling, and marketing innovative products. Prior to joining HT, he worked for Larsen & Toubro (L&T), one…
