The Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium has been awarded funding from the UK Government’s Department of Business, Energy, Innovation and Skills’ Energy Innovation Portfolio competition (BEIS). ScottishPower’s 20MW Whitelee Windfarm hydrogen production and storage facility will receive £9.4 million in Energy Innovation Portfolio funding to support the first phase of development. ScottishPower, BOC, and ITM Power are the partners in the Green Hydrogen for Scotland Consortium. The Energy Innovation Portfolio funding will go toward a 10MW electrolyser and four tonnes of storage, which will be the first phase of a 20MW facility that will be built at Whitelee Wind Farm…

Plug Power, a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen market, has announced the location of its European headquarters in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Plug Power, which has had a significant presence in Europe for over ten years, is expanding its investment on the continent in order to develop and grow the green hydrogen economy through the establishment of a new European headquarters. The company has direct maritime supply chain connections to Antwerp, Belgium, and Rotterdam, Netherlands, thanks to Duisburg, the world’s largest inland port. Plug Power will be able to take advantage of the Duisburg…

One of myFC’s patents has been approved in several countries, according to the European Patent Office. It is possible to distribute hydrogen gas individually to the fuel cells using the electrochemically operated valve that the patent protects. “It enables a cost-effective, individually adapted and more gentle operation, and provides better overall efficiency,” says Sebastian Weber, technical manager at myFC. When a system with multiple fuel cells, known as FCAs (Fuel Cell Assembly), is in operation, a common flow of hydrogen gas is distributed to the various cells. The FCAs in the same system operate with some variation in working mode,…

The Port of Townsville and Edify Energy have signed a MoU to work together to advance Edify’s renewable hydrogen export project. The signing of the MoU follows Edify’s recent development approval to build and operate a renewable hydrogen production plant with up to 1GW electrolyser for 5,000 – 150,000 H2 tonnes per year of renewable hydrogen at the Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct, 46km south of Townsville. Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen Mick de Brenni said Queensland has a track record of creating energy export industry and the Palaszczuk Government was getting the investment settings right to capitalise on renewable hydrogen.…

A new consortium has been awarded £2.94 million in funding with the goal of incorporating hydrogen into whiskey production. The UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will provide the funds to enable the consortium to scale up the hydrogen-based technology and conduct hydrogen trials at Beam Suntory’s Glen Garioch distillery in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Over the course of the 21-month project, Supercritical will advance its technology and complete an industrial hydrogen trial at Beam Suntory’s Glen Garioch distillery, producing approximately 57,000 bottles of hydrogen-distilled whisky. These bottles will be the first hydrogen-fired bottles of whisky produced on a large…

Scatec and its partners, OCI NV, Fertiglobe, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt, and Orascom Construction, have chosen Plug Power as the electrolyser technology provider for the 100 MW green hydrogen facility to be built in Egypt.

Plug Power, a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, completed the acquisition of Applied Cryo Technologies, a leading provider of technology, equipment, and services for the transportation, storage, and distribution of liquefied hydrogen and other cryogenic gases. The acquisition of Applied Cryo Technologies provides Plug Power with significant capabilities, expertise, and technologies, including a liquid hydrogen delivery network and fleet, liquid hydrogen storage, and hydrogen mobility fueling, allowing the company to expand its green hydrogen ecosystem and lower the cost of hydrogen infrastructure and logistics networks. Plug Power welcomes over 200 new employees based…

As part of the Australian Government’s expanded $464 million regional program, the Tasmanian Liberal Government is moving forward with its plan to maximize the opportunity for Bell Bay to be a national renewable hydrogen hub. The Tasmanian Government will submit an official funding request to the Australian Government to begin the Tasmanian Green Hydrogen Hub Project at Bell Bay, confirming it as one of Australia’s strategically important locations for the development of the emerging green hydrogen industry. Bell Bay, with its advanced manufacturing zone, renewable energy availability, appropriate infrastructure, water availability, and port access, is an ideal location for a…

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has commissioned a consortium led by Energy & Utility Skills and the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers (IGEM) to develop domestic and non-domestic hydrogen gas installation standards, competence frameworks, and training specifications. The work will be aided by the British Standards Institution’s (BSI) Publicly Available Specification (PAS) standards, which are being developed to codify guidance and specifications for ancillary hydrogen gas devices and components. These standards will allow for occupied 100% hydrogen heating trials, such as the neighbourhood and village trials outlined in the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan. The…

Global Technologies has provided an update on Tersus Power’s hydrogen production and dispensing station. As Tersus Power looks to roll out its first of its kind 1250Kg per day Hydrogen Production & Dispensing Station, what makes it stand above all the other hydrogen generation technologies? 1) Tersus is lowering the barrier to entry into the market by reducing the initial capital investment required to deploy a hydrogen fueling station. 2) Tersus is reducing the operational cost through intelligent engineering and design by reducing the total maintenance and feedstock requirements while greatly extending the operational life span of its modular system…
