Wärtsilä, in conjunction with WEC Energy Group, the Electric Power Research Institute, and Burns & McDonnell, has been hired to conduct hydrogen fuel tests at the A.J. Mihm power plant in Michigan, USA. The initiative supports WEC’s goal of reducing CO2 emissions from its electric producing fleet by 60 percent by the end of 2025, by 80 percent by the end of 2030, and to be carbon neutral by the end of the 2050. This will be one of the first instances in which hydrogen is tested to lower the carbon footprint of a Wartsila-delivered gas-fueled power station. The 55…

A swift hardening of hydrogen policy might pave the way for the massive Rough storage project to provide short-term energy security by storing vital winter gas supplies. Government laying out a legal framework for storage of the crucial solution to achieving Net Zero might further strengthen the case for the East Yorkshire facility to play a significant role as the Russian invasion of Ukraine proceeds. Should the Putin administration cut off gas supplies to Europe, the market supply from Norway, a country with direct pipeline links to the United Kingdom, might come under pressure. According to reports, a ÂŁ1.6 billion…

At the Quad leaders’ summit in Tokyo last week, among the numerous topics discussed, the four partners emphasized the significance of common energy supply chains. The leaders concurred on the significance of “clean energy cooperation” in “clean hydrogen” in particular. Hydrogen is likely to receive more attention as a result of the new Australian government’s commitment to combating climate change, especially given Australia’s links with Japan. Even before the change in government, Japan and Australia collaborated on the development of clean energy. In April of this year, a consortium of Japanese firms, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries, J-Power, Iwatani Corporation, Marubeni…
