French gas company Air Liquide inaugurated a $250 million liquid hydrogen facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada, which it stated will serve California and neighboring states. The facility is designed to create around 30 metric tons (mt) per day of liquid hydrogen from landfill methane. It began operations and customer deliveries in April and pilot runs a year prior. The production of Air Liquide’s largest liquid hydrogen plant is sufficient to maintain more than 40,000 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) on California’s roads. The launch of the plant occurred one month after California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed increasing the…

According to a government official, Namibia is considering issuing green bonds to finance projects that use renewable energy to manufacture hydrogen for export. The southern African nation of little about 2.7 million people has detailed a big construction project, partly due to the favorable conditions for solar- and wind-powered energy required for fuel production. James Mnyupe, the government’s green hydrogen commissioner, stated in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos that a number of finance methods are being investigated, with production to begin within four years. In an effort to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce reliance…
