The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (ACM) wants to give network operators and energy suppliers room to gain experience with the use of hydrogen for heating houses in anticipation of new legislation. Therefore, the ACM allows pilot projects with hydrogen in the built environment if companies ensure the safety of projects and comply with the consumer protection rules from the Temporary Framework for Hydrogen Pilots. The framework offers scope for the duration of five years, or the moment the new legislation is ready. The ACM pointed out to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Change(EZK) in 2021 that…

The Unigel group will hold next Tuesday (26), in Bahia, an event to lay the cornerstone of its first green hydrogen plant in Brazil.

Kicking off is the Operational Research Plan (ROP) on green hydrogen developed by ENEA and funded by the Ministry of Ecological Transition with a contribution of 110 million euros, representing about 70% of PNRR funds for hydrogen research. ENEA, in collaboration with CNR and RSE, will be tasked with carrying out research, development and innovation in the entire energy carrier value chain, which includes production, storage, distribution and end uses. To achieve this goal, the ROP breaks down resources into 40 million euros for green and clean hydrogen production; 30 million euros for storage, transport and transformation technologies into derivatives…

The universities of Genoa, Cagliari and Brescia united in the Promth2eus research project. An innovative electrolyzer will be used. The energy transition begins with seawater becoming essential for hydrogen production. This is done through a system of innovative technologies with which the production, storage and use of energy that arises in a process under the banner of the green transition is envisaged. This is the goal of a research project called Prometh2eus that aims to produce green H2 through an innovative solid oxide electrolyzer powered by seawater. It is an ambitious plan that is part of the initiative of the…

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) held a completion ceremony for the ‘Green Hydrogen Empirical Research Center’ and the ‘ICT Disaster Recovery Center’ at the Daejeon KHNP Central Research Center.

Hydrofuel Canada Inc., a producer of green ammonia and hydrogen, has entered into a deal with Lumos Laboratories Nigeria Limited for the purchase of shares. Lumos has patented technology to generate green hydrogen, ammonia, fertilizer, and electricity from human and animal waste. In accordance with the provisions of the share purchase agreement, Hydrofuel will finance the commercialization of the invention. The CEO of Lumos, Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu, stated, “We are grateful to have made this acquisition deal with Hydrofuel Canada as it will provide a wonderful platform for us to realize our dream of making clean, affordable, renewable hydrogen-ammonia energy…

Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca stated, following a visit to the National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenic and Isotopic Technologies (ICSI) in Ramnicu Valcea (south-central Romania), that several hydrogen-powered vehicle prototypes have already been constructed and that research on hydrogen fuel cells and batteries has made significant strides. The head of government stated that a sustainable economy cannot be achieved without research funding and that inventions must be implemented and taken into mass manufacturing. “At yesterday’s government meeting, we approved the research and innovation strategy for the years 2022 to 2027, and I wanted to see for myself, as…

Airgas has signed an agreement with Hyzon Motors to pilot two heavy duty hydrogen fuel cell trucks, including one 100 kW fuel cell truck and the first Hyzon 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell powered truck to be tested commercially. These two trucks will be the first heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks in the Air Liquide Group to be tested on several cylinder distribution routes in the Los Angeles, California area, according to Brian Jones, Airgas’ director of risk management and corporate responsibility. The 100 kW fuel cell vehicle from Hyzon Motors that Airgas will test will be on exhibit at…

Tree Energy Solutions (TES), a global green hydrogen company with a mission to provide a net-zero future by decarbonizing the energy supply chain, has successfully completed its second financing round at €65 million. This fresh finance will enable TES to speed the transition to sustainable energy by constructing the largest hydrogen facilities in the world by 2030. Investors from around the world, including E.ON, HSBC, UniCredit, and Zodiac Maritime, participated in the capital-raising effort. TES is constructing a green energy center in the German port of Wilhelmshaven with the aim of supplying 250TWh of green gas per year. The plan…
