GKN Hydrogen has joined the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) as an executive member. GKN Hydrogen provides the whole value chain from R&D, engineering, manufacturing and sales service for the safest hydrogen energy storage solutions on the market. The company’s Hy2Green smart energy cube technology is a CO2 neutral energy system using renewable energy sources. It generates green hydrogen, and stores it in a very safe manner and compact as metal hydride. The green hydrogen can be used directly for the mobility sector or can be reconverted into electricity and heat for buildings, industry and/or back-up power systems.…

A new research study has kicked off to explore the potential for hydrogen production off the coast of East Anglia. The study, led by Hydrogen East, will research options and scenarios to bring together the region’s offshore gas and offshore wind sectors to produce clean hydrogen at scale for cleaner power, heat and transport fuels supplying the region and beyond. The ‘Bacton Energy Hub: Exploring the potential for hydrogen from the Southern North Sea’ study will provide a detailed map of existing offshore and onshore energy-related infrastructure and develop options and scenarios for where wind farms, gas platforms, subsea pipelines…

A Green Hydrogen Alliance has been established by Germany and New Zealand.

The EU will provide nearly €10 billion of funding to speed up the transition towards a green, climate neutral and digital Europe.

Vestas will reduce the headcount by approximately 450 colleagues across three factories in USA, following a decision to consolidate its footprint in Colorado, Out of the 450 people, Vestas expects to offer new roles in other parts of the business to approximately 150 impacted employees. Vestas will consolidate blades production to the Windsor Blades factory and re-purpose the Brighton Blades site into a North American headquarters for the Global Tooling business, consolidating from six dispersed smaller locations This entails ending blades production at the Brighton Blades factory, which means laying off approximately 280 employees. In addition, the company will reduce…

Xebec Adsorption’s wholly owned subsidiary HyGear, has signed a Gas-as-a-Service (GaaS) contract with Saint-Gobain Glass for a 15-year term. Saint-Gobain Glass, a float glass manufacturer, will be supplied with hydrogen for its production facility in Eggborough, United Kingdom. “The cornerstone of our hydrogen supply strategy is to satisfy the existing and evolving needs for industrial hydrogen, while also facilitating the upcoming demand for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). We are excited to be announcing the construction of our first Decentralized Hydrogen Production Hub in the UK because these hubs will initially serve our industrial customers such as Saint-Gobain, and gradually…

ACCIONA and Plug Power have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to launch a 50-50 joint-venture (JV) headquartered in Madrid. This JV will be a leading green hydrogen platform serving clients in Spain and Portugal, providing cost-efficient and competitive green hydrogen to multiple end markets. The parties expect the JV will develop, operate, and maintain green hydrogen projects, serving the growing demand in the Iberian Peninsula. The new company also plans to provide storage, transportation, and delivery services to its customers, initially targeting the industrial and the mobility business segments. The goal is to reach a 20% market share of…

OMV and Kommunalkredit Austria have made a joint investment in the construction of Austria’s largest electrolysis plant in the OMV Schwechat Refinery. Total investment will be around EUR 25 million, with OMV and Kommunalkredit each bearing half the cost. The plant is expected to go live in the second half of 2023. From this point, the 10 MW PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) electrolysis will produce up to 1,500 metric tons of green hydrogen a year. “By building Austria’s largest electrolysis plant in the OMV Schwechat Refinery, we are making another contribution to reducing CO2 and to meeting climate targets, whereby…

AW-Energy Oy has entered the commercial hydrogen market by introducing a combined WaveRoller and HydrogenHub process for the production of green hydrogen. Its wave energy device when combined with other renewable energy sources, can enable significant green hydrogen cost reductions. “Wave energy holds the greatest potential to generate constant low-cost green hydrogen. Our WaveRoller process enables a green hydrogen plant to achieve much higher production capacities at reduced costs by complimenting wave energy with solar or wind.“Achieving carbon neutrality in many sectors will depend upon making vast amounts of renewable hydrogen. Because AW-Energy is the market leader in its field…

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will provide up to $100 million in funding for transformative clean energy technology research and development via its Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA-E) OPEN 2021 funding opportunity, n support of the Biden Administration’s climate innovation agenda. The Department will also participate in the National Climate Task Force’s Climate Innovation Working Group announced by the White House. The working group will coordinate federal government-wide efforts to foster affordable, game-changing technologies that can help America achieve the President’s goal of net zero economy-wide emissions by 2050, and emphasize research to bolster and build domestic clean energy supply…
