NewHydrogen, the creator of a ground-breaking green hydrogen generator that uses renewable energy to produce low-cost green hydrogen, has expanded its green hydrogen development strategy. In addition, the company will devote more resources to research and development in order to reduce the cost of producing green hydrogen. “An electrolyzer — the primary component of a hydrogen generator — is still very expensive,” said David Lee, CEO of NewHydrogen. “We have made great progress with our existing technology developments to replace and reduce the expensive rare earth materials, which represent a significant cost factor. Now, we will widen our focus to…

As part of the energy transition, Eni and Sonatrach have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). As part of the agreement, the two companies will examine potential joint opportunities in a variety of decarbonization-related fields, including renewable energy, hydrogen, CO2 capture, use, and storage, bio-refining, and many more It is in line with Eni’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and Sonatrach’s commitment to a sustainable development and a joint effort to tackle the challenges of the energy transition.

Green hydrogen, produced from renewable electricity, can play a vital role in Ireland’s transition to a net-zero society, boost economy and make energy supply more secure according to a new report published by Wind Energy Ireland. Hydrogen and Wind Energy – The Role of Green Hydrogen in Ireland’s Energy Transition was authored by Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions Ltd. (GDG) on behalf of Wind Energy Ireland, with support from Green Tech Skillnet. It shows how Ireland’s abundant wind energy resources could produce vast quantities of green hydrogen, which can be used to reduce our dependence on the imported fossil fuels that…

bp and Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals signed a Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) and a Renewables Data Collection Agreement to support the potential development of a multi-gigatonne, world-class renewable energy and green hydrogen development in Oman by 2030. As part of the agreement, bp will collect and analyze data from 8,000km2 of land, which is more than five times the size of Greater London. The evaluation will then assist the Government of Oman in approving future developments of renewable energy hubs in appropriate locations within this area to capitalize on these resources. Renewable energy resources could also provide renewable…

Punch Group in Belgium is preparing to manufacture hydrogen internal combustion engines based on General Motors diesel engines. European commercial vehicles will benefit from this conversion, which will speed up the transition to cleaner fuels in the region. Hydrogen energy in general and its use in the automotive industry in particular became a priority for EU officials last year. By 2030, hydrogen refueling stations will be located every 150 kilometers on European highways, thanks to billions of dollars in investment in hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen start-ups and commercial hydrogen models are emerging in tandem with the shift in the European economy…

For the creation of a hydrogen production cluster, the city of Incheon has altered its business strategy in part. However, in order to improve business efficiency and upgrade the corporate growth support system, it has been proposed that a hydrogen industry support center and test bed be built in Cheongna instead of the original site of 50,000 square meters in the metropolitan area. A liquefied hydrogen plant will cost 500 billion won to build as part of the Incheon hydrogen production cluster construction project, and a 1 trillion won hydrogen fuel cell research and production facility is being planned by…

EPFL researchers have observed how water electrolysis catalysts behave at the particle level. Hydrogen and oxygen are formed when water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by catalysts. Scientists have made an important discovery for the design of renewable energy storage systems by shedding light on the underlying mechanism of catalysts’ functional role during the reaction. Energy storage on a large scale and with high reliability are two key requirements for the eventual replacement of fossil fuels by renewable sources. The energy can be stored in gaseous form inside electrolytic cells, which is being studied by many researchers. Hydrogen…

Elcogen, an Estonian-based leading European solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cell manufacturer, has entered into an agreement with Uljin-County and Next Energy Corporation to supply solid oxide electrolyser technology for a large-scale nuclear hydrogen production complex in Uljin-County, Korea. Elcogen will construct a 200 MW solid oxide electrolysis cell and stack factory in Uljin-County under the terms of the memorandum of understanding (MOU). The electrolysis cell and stack factory are expected to cost around 75 MEUR. Elcogen’s electrolysis cells and stacks will be integrated into the Uljin Nuclear Hydrogen Production Complex, which is located near Korea’s largest nuclear power plant,…

FGSZ, the owner and operator of the Hungarian high-pressure transmission natural gas pipeline system that serves gas distribution companies, power plants, and large industrial consumers, has commissioned DNV to assess the suitability of one of FGSZ’s pipelines for partial to full hydrogen transport. The goal of this project is to assess the suitability of FGSZ’s DN600 system for hydrogen transportation, which consists of a DN600 pipeline and a valve station. FGSZ has created various scenarios to evaluate the implications of replacing natural gas with up to 100 percent gaseous hydrogen. With the European Climate Law, the EU has set a…

Hydrogen is particularly useful for studying the distribution of matter in the universe as well as the behavior of giant gas planets. However, due to the difficulty of conducting experiments with high-pressure hydrogen, the crystal structures of solid hydrogen that form under high pressure remain controversial. Hydrogen has particularly large fluctuations, making it even more difficult to predict its crystal phases, and this makes the structural pattern subject to a delicate balance of factors including electric forces on electrons and quantum mechanical fluctuations. Using a combination of sophisticated supercomputer simulations and data science with different crystal structures for hydrogen at…
