In an effort to make Portsmouth International Port the UK’s first zero-emissions maritime hub, Cox Marine, a British diesel technology innovator, has joined the SHAPE UK consortium. A Cox CXO300 diesel outboard engine will be converted into a dual fuel hydrogen engine in collaboration with the University of Brighton as part of this project and will be demonstrated in a port environment. Part of the larger project of SHAPE UK is the conversion and demonstration to show that a modular green hydrogen generation system is feasible in the Port of Portsmouth International (PIP). Transporting goods by sea is critical for…

Australia’s BlueScope Steel and Shell Energy Operations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore and develop renewable hydrogen projects at BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks in New South Wales. Using a 10MW pilot-scale renewable hydrogen electrolyser, BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks will investigate and test the use of green hydrogen in its blast furnace. The goal is to show that hydrogen can be used to make steel with lower emissions. Hydrogen could also be fed into a pilot DRI plant, which could be used for other purposes. BlueScope and Shell will also collaborate with other organizations in the Illawarra to…

NanoSUN, a world-renowned and award-winning engineering firm specializing in the development of mobile hydrogen refueling solutions, informed that HydrogenOne Capital Growth and the German Westfalen Group have invested £12 million in the company’s Series A round of funding. Engineers and experts in the hydrogen fuel supply chain have formed NanoSUN, a company dedicated to bridging the infrastructure gap between producers and consumers of hydrogen fuel. Hybrid hydrogen refueling stations, such as NanoSUN’s Pioneer Station, can be quickly and affordably deployed to deliver hydrogen fuel to the point of use, where it can be directly dispensed into hydrogen-powered vehicles. It is…

Green hydrogen production will be investigated by Infinity Lithium and Thyssenkrupp in a joint effort. The partnership will begin with a pilot project at a Thyssenkrupp plant in Germany to evaluate the potential of hydrogen as a substitute fuel for rotary kilns, using the industrial group’s hydrogen burner installation. Infinity’s lithium project in San Jose, Spain, as well as new lithium hydrometallurgical conversion processes, could benefit from this technology in the future. As demand for raw materials grows globally and environmental concerns grow, the collaboration was agreed upon in light of these issues. There are plans for a fully integrated…

French researchers and a company specializing in PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolysis signed an agreement to collaborate on research and development of PEM electrolysis. With this promising technology, they will collaborate to produce low-carbon hydrogen on a large scale. Elogen and the University of Paris-Sclay are taking a new step in their nearly twenty-year partnership. At the signing of a new agreement, a new PEM electrolysis research program will be formed, bringing together all of the available resources and technical expertise. By working on research projects, Paris-Saclay students will be a part of this collaboration. There will be numerous benefits…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and AGL Energy are investigating the possibility of generating green hydrogen at two coal-fired power plants in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley. An agreement has been signed between Fortescue Metals Group’s green energy business and the Australian utility to conduct a 12-month feasibility study at the site of the Liddell and Bayswater nuclear power stations. An initial 250 MW of new wind and solar power will be used to produce 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year as part of the initiative. Gigawatt-scale electrolysers, powered by new wind and solar and supported by new pumped hydro…

Oracle Power has provided an update on the company’s plans to build a green hydrogen production facility in Pakistan in collaboration with PowerChina International. PowerChina has completed a preliminary technical study to establish key technical and commercial contours for the delivery of a facility in Pakistan to produce hydrogen with electrolysers powered by photovoltaics and wind energy. The company intends to build a 400MW hydrogen plant with a daily hydrogen production capacity of approximately 150,000kg. Negotiations with the provincial government are underway to determine the necessary infrastructure in the province of Sindh. Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented: “Green hydrogen…

GeelongPort today announced plans to expand its current operations with a $100 million investment to construct the Geelong Hydrogen Hub, a green hydrogen production and distribution facility that will accelerate Victoria’s transition to a clean energy future. CAC-H2 has also been named as the Hub’s foundation green hydrogen developer by GeelongPort. GeelongPort CEO Brett Winter expressed his delight at the announcement of this positive step forward for the Geelong region and Australia’s climate change strategy. “We acknowledge that climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing communities globally, and we need to do everything we can at a local…

The first hydrogen fuel cell locomotive, a converted SD40-2F dubbed H2 0EL for “hydrogen zero-emissions locomotive,” will roll under its own power by the end of the year and then enter test service the following year. A grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta, which will fund the conversion of a switcher and a high-horsepower unit, has matched CP’s $15 million investment in the project this month. An electrolysis plant will produce hydrogen from water at the Calgary facility, with electricity provided by CP’s solar array. A small-scale steam methane reformation system will be installed at the Edmonton plant to extract hydrogen…

A new university-industry joint research platform has been established to study and develop hydrogen, an energy vector capable of playing a critical role in achieving global climate goals. The Hydrogen Joint Research Platform (Hydrogen JRP) was established by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Milano, and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A., in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and three founding companies, Edison S.p.A., Eni S.p.A., and Snam S.p.A. The Hydrogen JRP will support innovative studies and research in several areas, including the production of clean hydrogen, such as green hydrogen and low-carbon hydrogen; associated transportation…
