The facility, which will be built in Puertollano, Castilla la Mancha, will have a 20-megawatt capacity and will be powered by a 100-megawatt solar plant with a battery storage system.

The Russian Hydrogen company has struck an agreement in principle to take over the operational administration of the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Facility and the SintezKauchuk plant.

Hydrolux and PMG will collaborate on the development of a smart tiny unmanned ship constructed of aluminum that will be powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Equinor plans to supply hydrogen to 3-5 major industrial clusters by 2035, with a goal of capturing a 10% share of Europe’s clean hydrogen market by that time. The company intends to accomplish these goals through a portfolio of hydrogen projects focused on industrial clusters in Norway, northwest Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. “We have made considerable progress on some of our key projects and added several new ones, including the H2BE project for low-carbon hydrogen production in Belgium and an initiative to develop a low-carbon and hydrogen industrial region in the tri-state area (Ohio, Pennsylvania and…

TUV Rheinland announced the award of the world’s first green hydrogen and green ammonia certificates to Green Hydrogen & Chemicals SPC for the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia as part of the Greenfield Project, an Oman-based photovoltaic-powered hydrogen-ammonia plant with a planned capacity of 1.2 million tons of green ammonia. Green Hydrogen & Chemicals SPC, a 50:50 joint venture between ACME Group and Scatec ASA, has been evaluated and found to meet all criteria for the full Greenfield Project, based on the established production methods, transportation methods, and hydrogen applications. TUV Rheinland’s carbon-neutral hydrogen certification demonstrates that hydrogen…

Hydrogen production will begin at the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, according to Emil Alkhasli, Deputy Director General of the Refinery Modernization Project. According to Alkhasli, as part of the refinery’s renovation and reconstruction project, equipment for hydrogen production will be installed. “Hydrogen production equipment is expected to be operational in the second half of 2022. Additionally, units for the manufacturing of diesel fuel meeting the EURO-5 standard will be commissioned “he continued. Azerbaijan also intends to begin producing diesel fuel compliant with the EURO-5 standard in the first half of 2022 and gasoline compliant with the EURO-5 standard in…

bp welcomed the Australian Government’s announcement of up to AUD70 million in support for the development of a green hydrogen hub at bp’s Kwinana location in Western Australia. The hydrogen hub, which is being created in collaboration with Macquarie Group, has an unmatched combination of existing infrastructure, concentrated industrial demand, and strong links to one of Australia’s largest industrial centers. The hub will feature a minimum 75 MW electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, compression, and truck loading facilities, as well as enhancements to bp’s existing on-site hydrogen pipeline. The hydrogen generated will be used to meet domestic and export demand, including hydrogen…

Koichi Nakagawa, Research Director and Chief Consultant at the Mitsubishi Research Institute (MRI) Middle East, revealed that Mitsubishi is intending to sign a number of memorandums of understanding in Riyadh to deepen its research and consultancy collaborations with Saudi government organizations. These agreements would facilitate the transfer of information and technologies in the energy, agriculture, and health sectors, at a time when Saudi Arabia is seeking to localize industrial and economic competence, he told Asharq Al-Awsat. Daily, the organization completes 1,800 projects for government and private clients, he stated. By doing so, Mitsubishi hopes to pave the way for future…

One of the recurring drawbacks of hydrogen is the cost of producing it, i.e. obtaining it from water or any hydrocarbon, which requires a lot of energy. What if we could obtain hydrogen in huge quantities and without harming the environment? The answer was not in sight: with dual-flux nuclear reactors. This technology is very promising on paper, but has yet to prove its usefulness in the real world. Apparently, it’s all advantages. This design combines two circuits in a nuclear fission core, on the one hand we have a fissile fuel circuit, and on the other hand a rare…

CEMEX advances toward a net-zero future by collaborating with integrated chemicals and energy business Sasol ecoFT and renewable energy provider ENERTRAG on a ground-breaking initiative that will blend CO2 and hydrogen to create sustainable aviation fuel. This project is part of CEMEX’s Future in Action program, which aims to minimize the company’s carbon footprint and contribute to the development of a circular economy. It is also an integral aspect of CEMEX’s master plan to achieve carbon neutrality at its Rüdersdorf cement plant by 2030. The consortium will obtain green hydrogen from ENERTRAG that is entirely derived from wind and sun…
