SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall are inaugurating HYBRIT’s pilot facility in Svartöberget, Luleå, Sweden for the storage of fossil-free hydrogen gas. The storage facility in the rock cavern is the first of its sort in the world. The ceremony marks the beginning of the two-year test period, which will last until 2024. The HYBRIT program was started in 2016 by SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall, the three owners. The hydrogen storage facility will play a crucial role in the full value chain for the manufacture of fossil-free iron and steel. Producing fossil-free hydrogen gas when there is an abundance of energy, such…

The potential demand for low-carbon (green or blue) hydrogen from the worldwide refining industry might reach 50 million metric tons per year by 2050, according to Wood Mackenzie. In 2020, the oil refining industry will be one of the main markets for hydrogen, accounting for around 32 million tpy, or 30 to 35 percent of worldwide hydrogen consumption. Hydrotreating and hydrocracking are the most important refinery operations, requiring more than 90 percent of hydrogen in the refining business, and are used to remove sulfur from final products and enhance the yield of transport fuels, respectively. Nonetheless, more than 65 percent…

The first findings of Frontier Energy’s green hydrogen study show that the business might begin producing the fuel at its Bristol Springs solar plant “much earlier” than initially anticipated. Frontier Energy stated that it was made possible by Bristol Springs’ “unique position” in Waroona in the south-west of Western Australia. Frontier Energy aims to produce around 114 MWdc of direct current (MWdc) power in phase one at Bristol Springs utilizing “well-established” solar panel and tracker technologies. The project is already well-advanced and has secured approval for development. Mike Young, managing director of Frontier Energy, stated that Xodus Group had been…
