With a series of meetings with the Port of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, Ceará got to know the offshore technology of green hydrogen. According to the State Superintendent of the Environment (Semace), Carlos Alberto Mendes, who participated in the meeting with the director of operations of SIF Offshore Foundations, Frank Kevenaar, the idea is to import the technology to the state. “The objective is to take this model to our state, making it the first in the country in the generation of wind energy inside the sea, and that will be the main instrument for the production of green hydrogen.…

It’s gradually almost being forgotten, but before Elon Musk came along with Tesla, cars with hydrogen fuel cells were still widely regarded as the solution for the clean future of individual transportation. In the case of passenger cars, it has now all but disappeared, as almost the entire world is turning to battery electric cars instead. For trucks, too, vehicles with thick batteries seem to be winning out over hydrogen visions. And as Musk has now made clear, he doesn’t even want to grant the volatile gas a role in the seasonal storage of energy from renewable sources. Tesla CEO…

Abu Dhabi National Energy (TAQA) is in the technological feasibility phase of its two green hydrogen projects, according to an executive quoted by Emirates News Agency. Farid Al-Awlaqi noted that green hydrogen will play a major part in the power company’s renewable energy portfolio. It is a crucial component of the company’s 2030 growth strategy, which includes raising its gross power capacity in the UAE to 30 gigawatts from 18 gigawatts and adding up to 15 gigawatts worldwide. By 2030, renewable energy will comprise more than 30 percent of the generation portfolio, up from 5 percent at present. The two…

The Norwegian government intends 30 GW of offshore wind capacity to be operational in its waters by 2040. This aim was announced on 11 May and is intended to promote hydrogen exports by Europe’s largest oil and natural gas producer as well as the electrification of Norway’s economy. In a speech on 11 May, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stre announced the target: “We need additional power for the planned industries in Norway, including battery manufacture, hydrogen generation, and investment in new aluminum developments.” “When we engage with Norwegian industry, everyone we see discusses replacing natural gas with hydrogen and decreasing…

The head of the government’s climate finance task force stated that South Africa will require $14 billion in investment in order to build a large green hydrogen economy. Bloomberg obtained a copy of Daniel Mminele’s speech in which he stated that an initial investment of $1 billion would be required to establish an industry capable of exporting 20,000 tons of the climate-friendly fuel annually, and an additional $13 billion would be required to reach a 270,000-ton goal. Mminele, a former central banker, was hired this year to negotiate the terms of an offer of $8.5 billion in climate funding from…

GAIL (India) Ltd plans to develop India’s largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, by the end of 2023. The PEM-based project will produce 4.3 tonnes of green hydrogen per day (about 10 MW capacity), which will be blended with natural gas for industrial supplies. Hydrogen is the newest energy boom. You can get hydrogen from coal gasification, methane in natural gas (blue hydrogen), or by utilizing renewable energy to split water in an electrolyzer (green hydrogen). Green hydrogen emits no carbon and is the cleanest. GAIL was granted a contract to build one of India’s largest…

Multiple subterranean gas reserves with the capacity to store green hydrogen have been discovered by the University of Canterbury. The analysis, commissioned by Firstgas, identified seven subterranean oil and gas deposits in Taranaki, New Zealand, as viable candidates for storing huge amounts of sustainable energy. According to Professor Andy Nicol, who led the study project, this conclusion is crucial since, in twenty years, hydrogen is expected to make up at least 10 percent of the worldwide energy system. “We are optimistic that with additional research and technical trials, these depleted oil and gas resources in Taranaki will be suitable for…
