Up to 10,000 employment might be created as a result of the growth of industrial value chains

The Silyzer 300 electrolyser has already arrived in Punta Arenas while Siemens Gamesa completes the installation of the wind turbine

A modest proof-of-concept green hydrogen facility in Vredendal, Western Cape, has begun production, and its developers are now seeking funding for a 5 MW commercial project that they believe might serve as the catalyst for the province’s first ‘hydrogen valley.’ The commercial plant would consist of a 10 MW photovoltaic facility and a 5 MW hydrogen facility and is expected to cost between R460 million and R460 million, depending on the cost of the electrolyser units. George van Rensburg, managing director of Keren Energy, announced this week that the proof-of-concept facility, which was created in collaboration with Sakhumnotho Power, a…

EDF plans to use its specialized company Hynamics to extend its low-carbon power generating fleet – nuclear and renewable – to create hydrogen using a water electrolysis technique.

Bruce Power is announced intentions to examine ways to harness improved site output for possible hydrogen production in collaboration with enterprises in the Clean Energy Frontier region as part of Ontario’s hydrogen strategy. “Through our Life-Extension Program we are providing Ontario residents and businesses with a long-term supply of clean, reliable electricity and life-saving isotopes while also opening the door to possibilities for new innovative technologies that will contribute to Ontario’s Net Zero 2050 goal,” said Mike Rencheck, President and CEO at Bruce Power. “The industry can play a leadership role in the fight against climate change by leveraging and…

Portugal remains at the center of the news regarding renewables in recent days. After the announcement of the Iberian country’s plan that aims at 80% Fer on electricity production by 2026, followed by the news of EDF’s 70 MW floating photovoltaic plant with negative subsidies, the plan for the reconversion of the former coal-fired power plant of Pego, in the central part of Portugal, has also been released. To win the tender was Endesa, the Spanish subsidiary of Enel, which will take care of the largest hybrid wind-photovoltaic-storage plant in Europe. In detail, the project involves the replacement of the…

State Plan for Green Hydrogen Economy in Bahia was launched, which puts the state at the forefront of investments that will allow the replacement of fossil fuels for renewable energy in the country. The event was held at the Governor’s Hall of Acts and was attended by the governor Rui Costa, secretaries and businessmen from the sector. At the ceremony, a contract was signed for the Elaboration of Studies for the Development of the Green Hydrogen Economy (H2V) in the state of Bahia, through a partnership between the Secretariat of Economic Development of the State (SDE) and Senai Cimatec. What…

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has selected Symbio, Michelin, Faurecia, GTI, and other industry partners to develop and test a hydrogen-fueled Class 8 regional haul truck as a major contribution to a state-funded hydrogen mobility project. The CEC-funded “Symbio H2 Central Valley Express” project will build and test a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with the performance of a 15-liter diesel truck, thereby providing a zero-emission option for challenging regional-haul trucking operations. Beginning in the second half of 2023, the truck will operate for 12 months along a difficult 400-mile route connecting the Inland Empire and the Northern San Joaquin Valley.…

The Industrial Promotion and Investment Corporation of Odisha, the state government’s investment promotion agency, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation have signed an agreement to establish a renewable energy plant and a green hydrogen facility for domestic and export clients. The MoU, which is valid for five years, will also establish necessary infrastructure for the establishment of these plants and training, as well as information sharing. Green hydrogen would assist industries in reducing aggregate greenhouse gas emissions, so contributing to the Center’s INDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contribution) commitments. Odisha, as a power surplus state, is striving to further enhance its position in…

Two recent British studies suggest that releasing huge amounts of hydrogen into the atmosphere can contribute to global warming (indirectly) to some extent.
