The Japanese government has begun developing port terminals capable of receiving large ships with liquid hydrogen, Yomiuri Shimbun reports. The construction of the infrastructure has begun to ensure a continuous supply of the resource, which Japanese authorities believe could become the “next generation fuel. The Japanese Cabinet aims to achieve “carbon neutrality” (i.e. zero carbon dioxide emissions) by 2050, and by 2030 to reduce emissions by 46% compared to 2013. Hydrogen does not emit greenhouse gases during combustion, for industrial purposes in Japan annually uses 2 million tons of liquid hydrogen, in 2050, the country expects to use up to…

TÜV Nord Group has published a current assessment of the hydrogen supply situation. According to a statement, Canada is currently the main focus as a possible supplier. But there are other countries that could offer themselves in the future, including in Europe. On the other side of the Atlantic, TÜV Nord sees great potential not only in Canada but also in Chile. According to the study, Chile offers ideal conditions for renewable energies, which are reflected in low electricity prices. Production could be ramped up quickly here, according to TÜV Nord. For transport, however, the sea route remains the only…
By the end of 2021 Colombia launched the green hydrogen roadmap. It is a document that joins another series of initiatives for this energy source to start receiving greater investment and join the energy matrix. Irene Vélez, Minister of Mines and Energy, pointed out that the country has the potential to be “one of the main players in this market”. In Colombia there was already hydrogen production in Ecopetrol’s operation, however it was of the gray type. That is, it was produced from fossil fuels. However, in March 2022, the state oil company informed that it had started the production…
Recent policy announcements should help to correct the Dutch emissions reduction trajectory, even though they do not yet have the power to boost the H2 economy.
A small ferry for Orkney has been designed as part of a programme that aims to place Scotland at the forefront of emission-free hydrogen technology. But will it occur? In recent years, “ferries” has become somewhat of a nasty term in Scotland. Regularly reported news topics include an increasingly unreliable fleet, as well as major cost overruns and delays in the construction of new boats. Simultaneously, a heterogeneous coalition of Scottish and European organizations, commercial enterprises, and academics have been quietly collaborating on a significantly more positive view of the future. Since a decade ago, the feasibility of moving people…
Energy goliath Equinor of Norway headed the funding round.
HAV Hydrogen is getting ready to introduce a deck-based containerized hydrogen (H2) energy system for ships.
It’s time to broaden fuel station options throughout the world as more nations pass legislation to promote the use of alternative fuels and investment in them.
The Blue H2 by T.ENTM hydrogen plant will absorb a sizable amount of carbon dioxide and lower the petrochemical complex’s carbon emissions. LG Chem plans to use the CO2 that was gathered.
The vessel will be built by Intracoastal Iron Works in Bourg, Louisiana.
