The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced nearly $4.7 million in funding for six projects to advance the development of ceramic-based materials to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen-fueled turbines that may one day be used in clean power plants. The goal of the Biden-Harris Administration is to achieve a zero-carbon U.S. electricity sector by 2035. Carbon capture and storage prior to combustion will help achieve this goal. “Investing in research and development to increase hydrogen turbine efficiency will not only help bring down electricity costs, but can ultimately help to ramp up…

The EU program Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) provided funding for the “GREATER4H” hydrogen infrastructure project. The primary objective of the project is to facilitate the transition of heavy-duty road transport from diesel to hydrogen across the borders of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The new hydrogen infrastructure will allow diesel trucks to be phased out by 2025, as well as other hydrogen-powered vehicles to recharge on the network. The STRING secretariat is pleased to announce that money has been awarded to the GREATER4H project. Between Hamburg and Oslo, the three private partners GP Joule, Everfuel, and Hynion will construct hydrogen…

The RHYn project is a 100 km network to transport hydrogen in Alsace, with interconnections planned with Germany and Switzerland. GRTgaz is in charge and plans to complete the first phase by 2028. This program was the subject of a webinar organized on Tuesday, August 30, 2022 by DinamHySe. From natural gas to hydrogen With a network of 32,500 km of pipelines, GRTgaz transports 646 TWh of gas annually in France. Its strong European presence is supported by a staff of around 3,000 employees who meet the needs of 742 industrial customers, plus 19 connected distributors. Recognized as an operator…

Ursula von der Leyen, head of the EC, made this announcement at her third State of the Union speech today.

The first of seven offshore wind service boats designed for emission-free operation is Edda Wind’s newbuild Edda Breeze.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the German authorities wanted to make a big boom in the hydrogen industry as part of the program to fight climate change. However, such an innovation will be quite problematic to introduce into the inter-fuel sector due to the high cost and unexplored nature of the issue. This opinion was expressed by Vyacheslav Kulagin, Director of the Center for Global Energy Market Studies, to the Vechernyaya Moskva. Hydrogen is such a top topic of the last few years. For Europeans, it is a way to balance consumption in the abandonment of fossil fuels. Hydrogen…

The OVERLEAF project intends to decarbonize the atmosphere by developing a revolutionary liquid hydrogen storage tank to power hydrogen-powered aircraft. The project, which is supported by Horizon Europe, was initiated in May 2022 and will last for three years. OVERLEAF is a 10-member partnership from six European nations, led by Aciturri Engineering and comprised of numerous aeronautics industry leaders and academics. The project will result in the creation of a liquid hydrogen storage tank that will considerably increase the viability of hydrogen-powered air travel. Decarbonization of the aviation industry The EU is vigorously pursuing climate neutrality and sustainability, and hydrogen…

SCZONE Chairman Waleid Gamal El-Dein received Mr. Terje Pilskog, CEO of the Norwegian Company Scatec, and Mr. James Nutter, Scatec SVP Projects, as well as a delegation of technical experts from both sides, in order to follow up on the progress of the feasibility studies conducted by Scatec Company in accordance with the agreement signed between the company and SCZONE. In preparation for the signature of the final binding contracts and the real commencement of project implementation, and to expedite the implementation of the localization of green fuel projects and complementary industries-related project. “We are looking forward to hearing about…

GenCell Energy has introduced GenCell EVOX, a novel off-grid EV charging system that utilizes alkaline fuel cells, hydrogen, and ammonia to power technology. The technology has been created to address range anxiety and grid limits by generating green, grid-independent, on-site power that can be used to charge EVs at any time and in any location. While the global rise of EVs is welcome for a number of reasons, the EV market as a whole continues to struggle with pollution and unstable power sources for charging. Many EVs rely on electricity that is still generated by fossil fuels, resulting in damaging,…

Fluxys, Advario Stolthaven Antwerp, and Advario Gas Terminal have teamed up to investigate the viability of constructing an open-access green ammonia import terminal at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. The objective is to provide a solution to the growing demand for importing and storing renewable energy and raw materials as the decarbonisation of Europe develops. Fluxys, Advario Stolthaven Antwerp (a 50/50 joint venture with Stolthaven Terminals), and Advario Gas Terminal hope to determine the optimal ammonia storage option for northwest Europe by combining their respective strengths and skills in logistics, storage, and pipeline transmission. Fluxys, an independent energy infrastructure company established…
