The French company will take part in the first Brazilian initiative to build a green hydrogen “hub” in Sao Gonçalo de Amarante.
Around 2,000 tons of green hydrogen will be produced annually by electrolysis at Axpo’s proposed 15 MW hydrogen production facility.
The cost of this clean fuel is anticipated to be cut in half thanks to a project South Korea has started to produce hydrogen.
Liberty Hydrogen has launched and is in the process of developing a biomass-to-green ammonia facility for domestic and worldwide sale in Western Australia. The company has already determined that the projected state-of-the-art factory will require enormous quantities of wood debris to convert pure hydrogen into green ammonia. It is anticipated that the global production capacity of grey ammonia will increase from approximately 235 million metric tons in 2019 to roughly 290 million metric tons by 2030. In order for businesses to reach their net-zero goals, the manufacture of ammonia must move to a low-carbon, “green” process. The green ammonia factory…
Companies Wintershall Dea and Nord-West Oelleitung (NWO) will partner on Wintershall Dea’s BlueHyNow initiative. The two firms signed a memorandum of understanding this week and plan to perform a feasibility study by the end of the year to investigate the possibility of constructing a hydrogen production plant on the NWO site in Wilhelmshaven. Wintershall Dea, Europe’s largest independent gas and oil producer, is planning a facility for the manufacture of huge quantities of hydrogen from Norwegian natural gas, according to a statement from the firm. The BlueHyNow project is being constructed as part of the EnergyHub in Wilhelmshaven. NWO possesses…
Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has selected Glosten to construct a one-of-a-kind research vessel powered by alternative fuels. The new vessel will be equipped with an innovative hydrogen-hybrid propulsion system. Scripps and Glosten have a history extending back more than six decades, when Glosten designed Scripps’ Floating Instrument Platform, also known as FLIP. Glosten was also involved in the midlife refurbishment of Scripps’ largest ship, RV Roger Revelle. “Fundamentally, our ships must be dependable and capable in order to support the groundbreaking oceanographic research conducted by our experts. In addition, the vessel we envision must demonstrate that…
Quantum Technology Corp. of British Columbia, Canada, a leader in cryogenic technology celebrating 41 years in business, has completed the engineering design for Phase 1 of an ambitious project to provide green hydrogen for light and heavy transportation on the main Canadian corridor. More than 40 refueling stations are strategically located between Quebec City, Quebec and Vancouver, British Columbia, as part of this project. The stations will be supplied with liquid hydrogen from four hydrogen liquefiers in multiple provinces, all of which will be fueled by renewable energy. By 2025, the total capacity of the green hydrogen supply that will…
Near Beaumont, Texas, New Fortress Energy and Plug Power have reached an agreement for a 120 megawatt industrial-scale green hydrogen facility. The facility will utilize Plug’s industry-leading proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis technology to produce more than 50 tons per day (TPD) of green hydrogen, making it one of the largest of its kind in North America. The project will be scalable to nearly 500 megawatts with the establishment of additional supporting infrastructure. “We are pleased to enter into this agreement that marks the beginning of our collaboration with Plug, a leader in electrolysis technology that shares our vision for…
The most recent financing round from innovation programs intends to accelerate the development of sustainable biomass feedstocks and novel low-carbon hydrogen technologies. The government has given £37 million to projects that might improve the UK’s production of sustainable biomass feedstocks and hydrogen, in an effort to expedite the development of two sectors that could play a crucial part in the transition to net zero emissions. Yesterday, the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) announced that 12 projects will receive £32 million under Phase 2 of the Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Program, and 22 projects will receive a portion of…
