L8 Energy will present at Intersolar South America, between August 23 and 25, a photovoltaic system integrated to a green hydrogen plant. With a total investment of R$200 million, financed by a German bank, the plant located in Goiás should be ready in 2023. According to Leandro Kuhn, CEO of L8 Group, the investment in the solar part alone reached R$88 million. The plant is seen by the company as a milestone in the supply of renewable energy, since the production of hydrogen requires a high consumption of electricity. L8 Energy’s solution allies solar energy generation to the process, consuming…

Île-de-France Mobilités stated on July 12, 2022 that it will initiate a procurement process to purchase around 50 standard hydrogen buses for €48 million beginning in 2024. Until until, the energy transformation of the region’s bus networks was based on biomethane and electric technology. To accommodate clean buses, this is leading to the conversion of bus operating centers to these energies. Additionally, IDFM continues to explore with new technologies, including hydrogen. Île-de-France Mobilités is now cooperating with two additional projects, H2 Créteil and Vallée Sud Hydrogène, in addition to its involvement with Versailles. The first, led by Sipperec and the…

A recent Netflix production in the park of the Chateau de Courances in the Paris region was accompanied by an electro-hydrogen generator from Eneria. The film crew utilized GEH2 EODev’s emission-free electricity to power a lighting system meant to simulate a full moon night. A solution tailored to the limitations of filmmaking Netflix’s request allowed TSF to test, under real-world conditions, the implementation of a mobile GEH2 solution; the electro-hydrogen generator was mounted on a 19 t truck that also carried 44 kg of compressed hydrogen at 200 bar and a pressure reduction plate. Completely transportable, the installation was able…

Emerson Korea will exhibit at ‘H2 MEET,’ Korea’s largest hydrogen industry show, from August 31 to September 3 at KINTEX, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province. It declared on the 16th that it will participate in the development of the hydrogen economy and deliver a whole automation solution. Emerson Korea will build a display in the exhibition hall to showcase entire automation solutions such as hydrogen production and transportation, charging station, fuel cell, and control and safety detection system. On display at the booth are automation technologies such as liquid hydrogen and LNG storage at low temperatures, safety detection systems, hydrogen value chain…

In order for Queensland to realize its green hydrogen potential, a substantial rise in renewable energy is required, with construction requiring a larger labor pool than the mining boom. Construction Skills Queensland, a non-profit and industry-funded organization, has mapped the effects of the state’s energy transition on construction employees. A new analysis examines three distinct scenarios: one in which green hydrogen is exported and utilized domestically, one that focuses entirely on exports, and a third in which green hydrogen contributes solely to the domestic energy balance. The most ambitious scenario in which Queensland emerges as a hydrogen powerhouse would necessitate…

In Ohio, Babcock & Wilcox has partnered with Newpoint Gas to supply innovative hydrogen production, decarbonization, and combustion technologies for the reconstruction of the former United States Department of Energy Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site near Piketon, Ohio. B&W will provide its BrightLoopTM technology to manufacture hydrogen and extract carbon dioxide for storage, as well as a steam generator employing the company’s BrightGenTM hydrogen combustion technology to provide clean, nearly emission-free energy. Construction and installation services will be provided by Babcock & Wilcox Construction Company, LLC. When finished, the $1.51 billion h2Trillium Energy and Manufacturing (h2TEAM) complex will function as…

Dr. Ayesha Verrall, Minister of Research, Science, and Innovation, explains that a research initiative on green hydrogen has been formed with Germany to promote New Zealand’s transition to a more sustainable, low-emissions economy. Under the New Zealand-Germany Green Hydrogen research initiative, the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) and the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will invest together in extensive green hydrogen research. “Green hydrogen might play a significant role in the clean energy mix required for a sustainable future.” Each of the three initiatives will get $2 million over the course of three years. Through close…

Guangdong, a province in southeastern China, wants to install 200 hydrogen refueling stations, have 10,000 hydrogen fuel cell cars (FCEVs) on the road, and supply 100,000 mt/year of hydrogen supplies by 2025, according to an announcement made by the provincial administration on August 12. In a published action plan, the provincial economic planner Guangdong Development and Reform Commission outlined the objectives. The objective of the three-year action plan (2022-2025) is to “make Guangdong a global leader in FCEV technology and applications.” The action plan advocated retrofitting the conventional refueling stations by upgrading them with hydrogen refueling capabilities, particularly the refueling…

Less than a year after agreeing to collaborate with Australian steel manufacturer BlueScope, Shell is suddenly abandoning plans to create a pilot-scale 10 MW green hydrogen electrolyser at the Port Kemble Steelworks and advance the concept for an Illawarra hydrogen center. Bluescope’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Michael Reay, stated to pv magazine Australia that Shell will now be a “supporting” rather than “leading” partner in the transition of BlueScope’s Port Kembla steelworks to hydrogen for green steel production in the Illawarra. In a footnote in yesterday’s ASX investor report, the business stated: “BlueScope is continuing to cooperate with a variety…

Metgasco has announced the purchase of sustainable hydrogen and energy producer Patriot Hydrogen in stages. Metgasco informed its shareholders that the acquisition was part of the company’s diversification strategy, offering a sustainable, economically viable, carbon-neutral opportunity while possibly offsetting emissions from the company’s main natural gas production assets. “This transaction represents a significant milestone for Metgasco as it embarks on its road to become a major low-emissions, multi-fuel producer. With the recent completion of the Cooper Basin sub-surface program and gas production at Vali slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, the acquisition of Patriot should allow…
