War, energy crises, supply constraints, and the fear of recession dominate the news, but 2022 began well for German industrial valves. In addition to a rise in domestic commerce, exports grew substantially over the first half of the year. Despite a more than uncertain prognosis, the sector considers itself to be in such a strong position, mostly because to the universe’s lightest element: hydrogen. Good news for Germany’s valve manufacturers: despite the challenging global political climate, the industry is off to a fairly strong start in 2022, with both domestic and international sales on the rise. The valve industry has…

In order to transform the Brenner axis into a Green Corridor, the regional government has made a preliminary decision on a hydrogen production, storage, and distribution project. South Tyrol has already approved a master plan for hydrogen for 2020. By 2030, its implementation is anticipated to cut fossil fuel imports by approximately 550 million euros annually. This would lower CO2 emissions by around 45%. The proposal envisions, among other things, transforming the Brenner corridor into a “green corridor,” or an emission-free corridor with filling stations for emission-free automobiles along the route. In this regard, on August 30, the regional government…

Cummins and Buhler Industries, a leading tractor manufacturer under the brand name Versatile, have signed a letter of intent and seek to incorporate Cummins 15-liter hydrogen engines into Versatile’s equipment to lead the decarbonization of the agriculture industry. Versatile is a longstanding manufacturer in the agriculture space with a reputation for excellence in tractors,” said Ann Schmelzer, General Manager Cummins Global Agriculture Business. “Our companies share a commitment to technology, quality and dependability for our customers. Cummins is excited to be working with Versatile as we leverage our respective strengths to create new opportunities for both companies.” “While diesel engines…

According to a research document titled The Expanding Pipeline of Electrolyser Gigafactories by Rethink Energy, manufacturers around the world may produce more than 100 GW of electrolyzers annually. A flurry of announcements over the past three years has swelled the factory pipeline to a level that will allow the sector to meet demand over the next five years. Maintaining this pace will be essential for the subsequent green hydrogen boom. In 2020, the global electrolyzer manufacturing capacity was only 2 GW, which was significantly more than the global installed capacity of 300 MW. This occurred at a time when hydrogen…

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Maritime Administrator has granted Approval in Principle (AiP) for the M-series methanol to hydrogen generator for marine uses on any vessel type. Immediately following the AiP from Lloyd’s Register in May 2022, the AiP from the RMI Maritime Administrator provides additional confirmation that e1 Marine’s technology has the potential to become a key player in developing and delivering low-carbon energy to international maritime markets, and is accelerating its development and growth in line with demand. Robert Schluter, Managing Director at e1 Marine, commented: “The M-series methanol to hydrogen generator is making hydrogen a…

Vallourec has successfully tested and authorized the use of CLEANWELL.

Air Products and Associated British Ports (ABP) have announced their desire to collaborate on the development of the United Kingdom’s first large-scale green hydrogen generation facility. The facility would import green ammonia from manufacturing sites managed by Air Products and its global partners. This would be utilized to produce green hydrogen, which would decarbonize sectors such as transportation and industry that are difficult to mitigate. Fostering a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy By 2030, the British government intends to have 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen in production or under construction. There is currently no major domestic generation of hydrogen in the United…

Keppel Infrastructure, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel Energy, has reached a final investment decision (FID) to develop a 600MW advanced combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant and has awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to a consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific and Jurong Engineering for the construction of the plant. The Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant, which will be constructed on the Sakra district of Jurong Island, will be the first hydrogen-ready power plant in Singapore. Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant will be owned by Keppel Sakra Cogen Pte. Ltd. Keppel Asia Infrastructure Fund LP (KAIF)[1] and…

Pure Hydrogen, an Australian clean energy company, has secured a contract with PICAC to supply a 5kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) Generator for use at PICAC’s Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, which will open the following month. Particular emphasis will be placed on the development of training in renewable hydrogen. The 5kW HFC genset supplied by Pure Hydrogen emits zero emissions and generates electricity using only hydrogen. This is one of the first in Australia of its kind. The unit will have numerous uses, including backup power and/or supplying power to mobile communication towers, farms, businesses, hospitals, homes, and mine sites.…

As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing hostilities in the region, several regions of Europe are experiencing an alarming energy crisis. To lessen their dependency on nonrenewable fuel sources, Dutch officials are seeking imports of green hydrogen from Australia, which would represent one of the largest initiatives to import and generate this renewable fuel alternative, according to It Matters To You, providers of cash for automobiles. Melbourne-wide reports, according to The Port of Rotterdam, the largest seaport in Europe, intends to considerably increase its imports of green hydrogen from Australia, seeking millions of tonnes of this…
