Advent Technologies announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DEPA Commercial S.A., the largest importer of pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Greece, to collaborate strategically on hydrogen projects of mutual interest. The MOU lays the groundwork for a future mutually enforceable agreement. The following activities have been tentatively agreed upon by the parties: With the assistance of other key industrial partners, collaborate on the generation of ecologically friendly hydrogen as a fuel.Co-develop a proprietary and highly differentiated CHP system ready for mass production with efficiency approaching 90 percent and multi-fuel operating capabilities (hydrogen, natural…

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was presented by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who propose new and improved tax incentives for sustainable energy. Many, but not all, of the initial suggestions from last year’s Build Back Better Act are included in the measure. The measure was passed by the Senate over the weekend. Credit for Clean Hydrogen Production. The measure would create a new PTC for clean hydrogen generated by a taxpayer at a certified clean hydrogen production plant after December 31, 2022. The credit would apply to structures whose development begins before…

New drive technologies based on hydrogen or natural gas, for example, are becoming increasingly important in the context of resource-saving mobility. Type IV pressure vessels are suitable for the economical storage of these drive media in vehicles. They are based on a thermoplastic liner, which achieves the necessary pressure stability through fiber reinforcement in the filament winding process. Type IV containers are characterized by their enormous lightness and safety, making them highly attractive for numerous mobility applications. Roth Composite Machinery from Steffenberg has the necessary know-how and experience in the development and construction of machines for the production of such…

Clean Logistics has signed a framework with GP JOULE Group for the delivery of 5,000 hydrogen-electric trucks. The delivery of the vehicles is scheduled for the period from 2023 to 2027. The cooperation is important for Clean Logistics with a planned sales volume in the low single-digit billion euro range. Delivery of the first vehicles of a pre-series is of a pre-series are expected from the end of the 3rd quarter of 2023; the exact timing depends on when expected subsidies are approved. Thereafter annual delivery volumes have been agreed, details of the delivery terms and and maintenance contracts have…

The University of Dusiburg-Essen (UDE) is working with partners to investigate how green hydrogen can be transported in the form of iron. To this end, it is coordinating a project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Hydrogen (H2) is highly flammable, highly volatile and embrittles many materials. So far, this combination has made transport costly and inefficient. One possibility is to store and transport hydrogen as ammonia. A team led by Dr.-Ing. Rüdiger Deike, UDE professor of metallurgy and forming technology, on the other hand, is pursuing an approach whose cycle would look like this, for…

Nikola Corporation revealed the sites of three hydrogen stations in California in order to enhance and expand its long-term hydrogen distribution solutions to meet market demand. Nikola’s integrated energy and zero-emissions truck portfolio will be supported by the development of a hydrogen supply and refueling infrastructure, a crucial step toward decarbonizing the heavy-duty transportation industry. The three refueling stations and logistical infrastructure in California will be placed in the communities of Colton, Ontario, and a site that serves the Port of Long Beach. Plans for more stations to satisfy truck demand are in the works and will be disclosed in…

Microsoft intends to utilize a carbon-free energy source. The business has just proven the ability to generate 3MW of electricity from a hydrogen source. Green energy is here The firm is nearing the completion of its project. It intends to power its data centers without utilizing carbon. New York has a hydrogen energy system designed by Plug Power and implemented there. The concept is built on two 13-meter-long shipping containers containing hydrogen fuel cells. Microsoft’s 3 MW demonstration is a first. This is membrane proton exchange fuel cell technology. It mixes hydrogen and oxygen to simultaneously create energy, water, and…

Maire Tecnimont has won a contract from Alia Servizi Ambientali for basic engineering to build a methanol and hydrogen from waste plant in Empoli (Florence) through its subsidiary MyRechemical (NextChem). This is stated in a note indicating that the transaction will enable the production of the necessary documentation for the start of the authorization process at the Region of Tuscany. The basic engineering phase, MyRechemical explains, will be completed by the end of the year. Then, once authorized and completed, the plant will process 256 thousand tons per year of non-recyclable waste and produce 125 thousand tons per year of…

Rolls-Royce is developing mtu electrolyzers with a power output of up to 2 MW that can be scaled up to more than 100 MW. Now the company has acquired a stake in Hoeller Electrolyzer, a specialized company that develops and manufactures the cell stack, the main component of the electrolyzer. The common goal of Rolls-Royce and Hoeller Electrolyzer is to develop a solution to produce hydrogen cheaply and on a large scale using green electricity. It is an ideal complement to an mtu microgrid. It creates the possibility to store and utilize solar and wind energy, thus making an important…

Bruno Roche, Global Head of Energy Transition, ABB Process Automation, Energy Industries, explains how collaboration can make a world of difference in speeding innovation in low carbon hydrogen production, thereby making it a cost-effective, accessible, and sustainable energy source. The responsibility to decrease emissions and decarbonize is no longer optional for accountable enterprises. Certain industries are on the verge of adopting more sustainable practices. For some major industries, however, such as petrochemical, cement, and steel, which account for as much as 22 percent of world emissions, the obstacles are difficult. Here, low-carbon hydrogen comes into play. When fueled by renewable…
