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…

In response to recent assertions that Africa must quadruple its investments in order to meet its energy and climate objectives, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has mapped out leading green transition pathways for the continent, yielding greater economic and social returns. These sustainable development routes, presented in the IEA’s newly-launched Africa Energy Outlook report – a full policymakers’ summary of findings to be exhibited live at this year’s MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power conference to west Africa’s top corporate and government authorities in aid of formulating a unified African narrative in advance of December’s 27th Conference of the Parties to…

Frontier Energy’s plans to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy sourced from the potential 500 MW Bristol Springs Solar project it is developing in Western Australia have received a significant boost after a study revealed that the cost of producing hydrogen could be as low as $2.85 per kilogram. The results of a prefeasibility study (PFS) on Frontier Energy’s proposed Bristol Springs Solar (BSS) project in Western Australia’s South West area indicate the development has the potential to be an early mover, low-cost green hydrogen producer. Frontier announced on Thursday that the PFS, which was undertaken by Perth-based consulting firm…

Engie Brasil Energia is negotiating partnerships to integrate green hydrogen production projects in the states of Ceará, Bahia and Paraná, aiming to position itself in the new market for the technology that is beginning to develop in Brazil. The studies of the French electric company involve projects for plants of the fuel produced from renewable electric energy with different capacities, ranging from 100 megawatts (MW), 150 MW, and 180 MW. “(They are) Several initiatives, some will evolve and some will not. We need to be very active in these partnerships,” Engie Brasil Energia CEO Eduardo Sattamini told Reuters. According to…

Following a round table with representatives of industry, energy companies and network operators, the CSU in the state parliament demanded clear legal requirements from the EU and the federal government for the expansion of hydrogen pipelines and regional distribution networks. “Green hydrogen is the lifeline of the future for industry and SMEs, Bavaria must therefore be connected to hydrogen pipelines from the north and south by 2030,” explained CSU Secretary General Martin Huber. Reliable framework conditions are needed for the necessary investments. In addition, international agreements on hydrogen production and supply are needed. For example, hydrogen produced with wind power…

The District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) are in the beginning phases of a significant energy transformation. The result will be a healthy and thriving environment for those who live and work in the region, fueled by climate change, technical and process innovation, and a people committed to stewarding our natural resources wisely. By delivering the next generation of the energy ecosystem, the DMV can exhibit significant regional and national leadership in achieving climate goals and objectives. This will result in economic expansion, the creation of tens of thousands of high-quality employment, and the creation of safer environments throughout…

The first generation of green hydrogen fuel or green hydrogen is anticipated to begin in 2023 by PT Pertamina in the Ulubelu geothermal working area (WKP). The daily production objective is 100 kg, as reported by CNBC Indonesia. Fuadi Arif Nasution, Vice President of Business Planning & Portfolio at PT Pertamina Power Indonesia, revealed that a green hydrogen pilot project with a daily production target of 100 kilos is being created in the Ulubelu region. Fuadi stated in the discussion on Drinking the Clean Energy Transition Business Opportunity that the estimate is roughly 100 kilograms per day, with a goal…

Oracle Power has received a letter from the Directorate of Alternative Energy of the Government of Sindh confirming that it will issue a Letter of Intent (LOI) to Oracle regarding the establishment of a 1,200MW hybrid solar/wind, green hydrogen/power project in Pakistan, which is being advanced by the Company’s joint venture company, Oracle Energy, subject to a $600,000 performance guarantee by Oracle Energy. The LOI is anticipated to stipulate that the Project developer will be able to create green hydrogen from a 400MW electrolyser facility and renewable power for business-to-business use, for potential sale to utilities, and for other purposes.…

American Airlines announced an investment in ZeroAvia, a pioneer in hydrogen-electric, emission-free flight. In addition to the investment, a memorandum of understanding allows American to order up to 100 engines from the hydrogen-electric powertrain research program of ZeroAvia. The engines are designed to provide emission-free propulsion for regional jets. “Our investment in ZeroAvia’s emerging hydrogen-electric engine technology has the potential to play a key role in the future of sustainable aviation,” said Derek Kerr, American’s Chief Financial Officer. “We are excited to contribute to this industry development and look forward to exploring how these engines can support the future of…
