Chinese sources report that in the south of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Kuqa County (Kucha), the world’s largest green hydrogen production site is being completed. The facility, with an annual capacity of 20,000 tons of hydrogen, will be served by a solar farm of 630 hectares, equivalent to the area of 900 football fields. According to calculations, the enterprise will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in China by 500 thousand tons annually. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, like northwest China as a whole, is rich in sunny days. At the same time the energy-intensive industry is concentrated in the…

In order for Spain to create a new gas link with France through Catalonia as an alternative to Russian fuel, there is one criterion – the most important – that must be met: hydrogen must be allowed to go through the pipeline. According to Enagas’ estimations, the infrastructure for natural gas alone would cost 225 million against 370 million to adapt it to hydrogen. Why, given Spain hardly generates it (let alone green hydrogen that is produced without emissions, which is still a rarity)? The solution rests in renewable energy sources and the future. By parts: Spain now has a…

Bloom Energy Corporation revealed the preliminary results of its ongoing demonstration with Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the nation’s foremost nuclear energy research facility. Bloom’s high-temperature electrolyzer produces hydrogen more effectively than other commercially available electrolyzers, including PEM and alkaline, after approximately 500 hours of full-load laboratory operation. Bloom Energy’s solid oxide electrolyzer has been undergoing a variety of tests at INL’s Dynamic Energy Testing and Integration Laboratory, including steam and load simulations that replicate nuclear power station conditions. This is an important step in validating the electrolyzer’s full compatibility with a nuclear facility. Pilot results indicate that the Bloom Electrolyzer…
