LH2 Europe will create green hydrogen using Scotland’s plentiful renewable power and sell it at a cost comparable with diesel. The liquid hydrogen will be transported to ports in Germany by the new tanker. As demand grows, the strategic aim is to expand supplies to additional markets.

The University of South Wales (USW) is one of three partners awarded £267,954 to fund research investigating how hydrogen produced from sewage can aid in the reduction of contaminants in the environment.

Murchison Hydrogen Renewables has revealed details of its proposed project near Kalbarri in Western Australia, which includes more than 5 gigawatts of wind and solar energy, a large battery, a 3 gigawatt electrolyzer, and the production of approximately 2 million tons of green ammonia per year. The massive project, which was first proposed by Hydrogen Renewables Australia in 2019, is currently being driven by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. It will generate renewable hydrogen and ammonia for domestic and international markets. Until this week, few specifics about the project had been published, other for its proposed location at Murchison House Station on…

China’s hydrogen energy ambitions look to lag behind the country’s present economic trajectory, indicating that the country is wary of overextending itself in sectors that still require big scientific breakthroughs, experts said. According to the National Development and Reform Commission’s 2035 development plan, the country aimed to have at least 50,000 hydrogen fuel-cell electric cars (FCEVs) on the road by 2025. It has 8,000 FCEVs in 2020 and could reach 77,900 by 2025 if present deployment rates continue. Additionally, by 2025, the economic planning department expected to manufacture 100,000 to 200,000 tons of “green hydrogen.” By 2023, S&P Global Data…

RWE Gas Storage West is assisting in the expansion of Europe’s hydrogen industry through the GET H2 initiative. In this context, by 2026, a new hydrogen section will be built at the Kottiger Hook natural gas subterranean storage facilities. On the current RWE site, the majority of Germany’s first commercial hydrogen cavern storage plant will be developed. RWE submitted the mandatory planning notification to the Arnsberg district administration, thus initiating the approval process. A voluntary environmental impact assessment with the participation of authorities, public interest groups, and the general public will be included as part of the general operating planning…

Alfa Laval has acquired patented technology for hydrogen reforming from ammonia from the Danish business RenCat. This technology, along with Alfa Laval’s experience in heat transfer, will expand commercial potential in the increasing industry for hydrogen processing, paving the way for future use of renewable fuels. By the end of 2023, the first goods based on the technology are scheduled to be launched. “With our combined know-how and patented technologies, we will be able to expand the technical borders and contribute to create a more sustainable society,” says Thomas Møller, President of the Energy Division.

The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) will invest almost R$ 13 million by 2023 in the production of green hydrogen in Brazil. The funds will be used to train professionals through the National Service for Industrial Training (Senai). Green hydrogen is a fuel, which can be used in vehicles, produced with electricity from clean and renewable energy sources. Matrixes such as hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass are included in the list. In other words: it is zero carbon: obtained without CO2 emission. Center of Excellence in Green Hydrogen The initiative will generate the Center of Excellence in Green Hydrogen…

The state hydrocarbons company, Petroperu, said that as part of the start-up tests of the New Talara Refinery, in the Piura region, started last April 12, the Hydrogen Production/Purification Unit (PHP) is scheduled to start up by mid-May. He indicated that its construction and equipping has been completed on schedule, including the testing of equipment with energy and fluids inside (commissioning), under the supervision of manufacturers and technologists. He said that the start-up activities of this auxiliary unit of the New Talara Refinery are currently being coordinated jointly with the contractor Cobra Synohidro, the licensor Haldor Topsoe and the main…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Firstgas Group (Firstgas) have announced a new collaboration to examine creating green hydrogen projects with the goal of further decarbonizing New Zealand’s energy system and enhancing energy security. FFI and Firstgas have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to explore options to manufacture and supply green hydrogen to tens of thousands of New Zealand homes and companies. Firstgas operates New Zealand’s largest gas network, with over 2,500 kilometers of high-pressure transmission pipelines and 4,800 kilometers of distribution pipelines linking over 300,000 households and businesses to gas. Firstgas proposed a plan in March 2021 to…

By 2030, Daimler Buses intends to offer zero-emission cars in all segments (both battery and hydrogen-powered). Beginning in 2023, the Mercedes eCitaro will also be available with a range extender powered by a hydrogen-based fuel cell. In 2025, the first fully electric intercity bus will be introduced. Toyota supplied the eCitaro Range Extender’s fuel cell, which is in its second version. It is a heavy-duty unit capable of producing up to 60 kW. Daimler Buses has stated that it will not invest in Euro VII in Class I buses and anticipates that e-buses will account for 75% of public transport…
