Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) and M/s Greenko ZeroC Private Limited (Greenko) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaboratively pursue prospects in Renewables, Green Hydrogen, Green Ammonia, and other derivatives of green hydrogen. The MoU, valid for two years, was signed in New-Delhi on 26 July 2022 by ONGC Director Onshore Shri Anurag Sharma and Greenko CEO & Managing Director Shri Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, in the presence of Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Urban Affairs Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Secretary (MoP&NG) Shri Pankaj Jain, ONGC CMD Dr. Alka Mittal, along with ONGC Director…

At the organization’s annual shareholders meeting, India’s richest man, Gautam Adani, said that the group will invest $70 billion in a new energy sector that will transform India from a net importer of oil to an exporter of green hydrogen. Here is what Gautam Adani said: -We have never halted or abandoned investments in India. -According to Adani, the group is now the country’s largest airport operator and has entered the cement market with the acquisition of Holcim. Gautam Adani states that his company has never halted or abandoned its investments in India, spending USD 70 billion on the new…

H.W. Richardson (HWR), the largest heavy transport firm in New Zealand, wants to decarbonize its fleet by adopting a hydrogen refuelling technology created by Fabrum. Fabrum, a zero-emissions transition company, is developing and delivering an end-to-end scalable hydrogen refuelling solution for HWR to facilitate fleet-ready hydrogen access. This is in line with HWR’s intention to have ten dual-fuel hydrogen diesel trucks on the road by the second quarter of 2023. Fabrum is constructing the first green hydrogen generation system for HWR at its Southland location, utilizing a membrane-free electrolyser with its cryogenic technologies in a containerized system for decentralized point-of-use…

Sixty organizations from across the globe are vying for a role in the building of the new $593 million hydrogen power plant in South Australia. A procedure for soliciting industry bids on the technical, systems, and commercial development of the hydrogen facility has concluded. Global operators with experience in establishing hydrogen infrastructure, enterprises with ties to local industry and local workforces, and organizations that collaborate with universities on research, training, and development submitted proposals. Labor said that the government’s hydrogen power project will boost South Australia’s hydrogen economy and unlock a $20 billion pipeline of renewable energy projects. Premier Peter…

Fitzgerald Cantero Piali, the country’s national energy director, acknowledged that new renewable generation will be needed and that the combination of wind and solar is the best option for this. With a practically decarbonized electricity matrix, Uruguay has already set its sights on its second energy transition, the expansion of the renewable generation park to meet new demand and the production of green hydrogen. So much so that Fitzgerald Cantero Piali, Uruguay’s national director of Energy, acknowledged that there are several programs and projects underway, including interest in H2V and the possibilities of renewable energy storage for when the system…

“The participation of ENEA and other Italian partners in the IPCEI Hy2Tech project will allow our country to exploit the considerable opportunities arising from the use of hydrogen in different application sectors, such as industry, transport, civil and residential, the latter in blending with natural gas”. This is according to ENEA President Gilberto Dialuce on the EU Commission’s approval of the first IPCEI project on hydrogen, which provides more than €1 billion in funding to Italy for research and innovation (R&I) activities, including €52 million to ENEA. “In the hydrogen sector, as an agency we have been conducting R&I activities…

Hydrogène de France SA (“HDF Energy”) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saigon Asset Management (“SAM”) for the development of Renewstable power plants in Vietnam. Invented and developed by HDF Energy, the Renewstable multi-megawatt power plants produce renewable, stable, guaranteed, 24-hour controllable electricity with zero greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to massive hydrogen energy storage. The signing was held in the presence of leading Vietnamese authorities, including the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) and the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI), and the French Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Nicolas Warnery, with the support of Business France. This MoU…

Argentina reaffirms the need to “strengthen the infrastructure” of the national hydrogen industry to take advantage of the “potential” that the country has to place itself “on the global map of producers and exporters” of this fuel, and is seeking European funding for this purpose. “From the point of view of financing, it is very relevant to find resources to develop the necessary infrastructure to achieve this potential,” explained the National Director of Bilateral External Financing Projects of the Secretariat of Strategic Affairs of Argentina, Matías Mana, in an interview with EFE in Madrid. Mana traveled this week to Luxembourg,…

Hydrogen fuel cells show great potential as renewable and eco-friendly energy sources for land, air, and sea transportation. But typical catalysts used to drive chemical processes in hydrogen fuel cells are too costly and inefficient to support a large-scale commercial transition away from present technologies. In new interdisciplinary study published in ACS Catalysis, Northeastern scientists have identified a new class of catalysts that, because of their particular non-noble-metal nature, could replace the platinum-based standard that has blocked hydrogen from developing in the fuel sector. “We are swiftly migrating to electric forms of transportation, and as I see it, batteries are…

In the U.S. state of Illinois, renewable energy company Invenergy is launching a green hydrogen project that will be co-located with a solar farm. The Sauk Valley Hydrogen Project, which will be Invenergy’s first green hydrogen development, will utilize a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser from manufacturer Ohmium and is estimated to generate up to 52 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The station, which is expected to be completely operational by the end of 2022, will be able to feed hydrogen to Invenergy’s 584MW gas-fired power plant, while its loading capacity will allow any excess hydrogen to be transferred and…
