Green Hydrogen H2 News

A joint study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the European Patent Office (EPO) analyzes patent statistics to illustrate the trends and dynamism in the field of hydrogen that can be created via electrolysis using renewable electricity. Since 2005, “Innovation trends in electrolysers for hydrogen production” indicates that patent applications for hydrogen production technology have increased by an average of 18 percent annually. Hydrogen derived from renewable sources can be utilized as feedstock in the chemical industry and as fuel in fuel cells that produce only water as a byproduct. It can also replace fossil sources in synthetic…

The Saskatchewan government is accelerating the development of a prospective hydrogen hub in the Regina-Moose Jaw region. The Ministry of Energy and Resources, Whitecap Resources, and Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) will fund a foundation report study conducted by the Transition Accelerator and the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) to provide investors with a comprehensive analysis of commercial-scale hydrogen opportunities and synergies with carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) infrastructure in Saskatchewan. Minister of Energy and Resources Bronwyn Eyre stated, “We are a global leader in CCUS and enhanced oil recovery, which have natural ties to blue hydrogen.” We anticipate that this…

A German green hydrogen technology business that has built 10GW of electrolyser capacity worldwide is establishing a presence in Perth to capitalize on Australia’s burgeoning renewable hydrogen industry. Thyssenkrupp Nucera is an expert in the chlor-alkali process, or electrolysis utilizing salt water, with sodium hydroxide and chlorine as byproducts, having completed hundreds of projects and manufactured 240,000 electrolytic cell elements. The company claims that its choice to establish itself in the capital of Western Australia is the result of a “rational business decision” based on the state’s vast renewable energy potential and well-established export sectors for minerals and energy. Western…

The New South Wales (NSW) government established a relationship with Denmark by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that stipulates the two regions would collaborate on innovation, policy, trade, investment, and technology as they transition to net zero emissions by 2050. The declaration was somewhat nebulous in its breadth and alluded to hydrogen and NSW treasurer and environment minister Matt Kean’s desire to establish the state as a hydrogen leader. Pernille Dahler Kardel, the Danish ambassador to Australia, also said that collaboration on energy exports is a priority for the two governments and suggested that the alliance may have a…

Hydrogen Europe has prepared a position paper titled “Delivering REPowerEU through a robust European hydrogen industry” in response to the European Commission’s Fit for 55 policies and targets and the newly reaffirmed ambitions of the REPowerEU communication (click here to read it). One of the primary foundations of REPowerEU is the Hydrogen Accelerator, which outlines a strategy to double the previous EU renewable hydrogen target to 20 million tons of annual domestic production and 20 million tons of annual imports. To achieve these objectives, the EU must greatly expand its production capacity for novel equipment such as electrolyzers. Infrastructure must…
