Essent will start building a hydrogen plant running on solar energy in 2022. It involves a 5MW electrolysis plant that converts sustainably generated electricity into hydrogen and residual heat. These are then supplied to companies in the region. The new hydrogen plant is being developed in collaboration with Solinoor, a specialist in the field of solar parks. With this collaboration they are responding to the growing need for the local production and supply of green energy. Stephan Segbers, COO of Essent: “The application of hydrogen as an energy carrier is a major step forward in the energy transition. Since 1.5…

CO2CRC is partnering with important scientific partners CSIRO and Geoscience Australia on pioneering research into the technical development of geological hydrogen storage in Australia. Australia’s hydrogen sector is predicted to grow 40% by 2030, reaching a potential export value of $5.7 billion by 2040. Hydrogen must be stored in geological formations to enable a hydrogen supply chain on a larger scale than the 100,000 tonnes required for a net-zero future and export market. Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) provides critical capacity for balancing supply and demand, as well as seasonal changes. Current surface hydrogen storage infrastructure, such as pipes or tanks,…

The Iberian Peninsula is becoming one of the main centers for the production of green hydrogen worldwide. In fact, the fourth large-scale project has now been approved, marking the dominance of the two countries, relative to Europe, in this area. The project will give even more relevance to the port of Sines. The Iberian Peninsula has been home to numerous investments that are transforming it into an important energy player. Alongside the path it has taken to become a center for the production of green hydrogen, these investments have also boosted renewable energies, giving them increasing strength and relevance. Now,…

The ‘EMR H2 Booster’ consortium is calling on small and medium-sized enterprises in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (EMR) to join the transition towards hydrogen (H2). To give this development a boost, the Interreg EMR H2 Booster project was recently kicked off in the Government in Maastricht. Nine different partners from Wallonia, Flanders, the Aachen region and Limburg have joined forces in the consortium, with the aim of giving an impetus to SME companies taking steps towards the use of hydrogen. Hydrogen as a clean source of energy In addition to electricity, sustainably produced hydrogen will also be an important source of…

Hyzon Motors Australia announced intentions to construct a green hydrogen refueling station at its regional headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. The commercial-scale green hydrogen depot will support Hyzon’s rapidly expanding manufacturing base in the region, supplying hydrogen to new clients and demonstrating the financial viability of “beyond the fence” hydrogen for fleet decarbonization. Hyzon is collaborating with the RACV, hydrogen specialists ENGV, and others on the design, planning, permitting, and building of the green hydrogen store, with the goal of having it operational by late 2023. Hyzon is currently delivering a first order of hydrogen-powered vehicles to RACV subsidiary Nationwide Group,…

Poseidon Marine H2 is undertaking a capital raise next week via the online trading platform VCEX, following the signing of a world-class technology partner. The capital raise will be used to fund the beginning phases of creating a hydrogen-powered boat by the third quarter of 2023. In general, the business claims it is developing a better boat that happens to be hydrogen-powered. Their primary objective is to ensure that the pleasure ship they are building has a comparable operational range, requires less maintenance, and is more cost effective to operate than traditional fuel sources such as diesel.

The new Everfuel hydrogen station will be located in a major Danish logistics and transportation center. The partnership between Everfuel A/S and Taulov Dry Port A/S supports both companies’ visions of helping to decarbonize Denmark’s busiest transportation hub. Building a green and innovative logistics hub is a priority for ADP A/S and PFA’s joint venture at Taulov Dry Port, just outside of Fredericia. The first 100.000 m2 of storage and logistics facilities were just built, and the following 60.000 m2 is being built. Taulov Dry Port has succeeded to attract some of Denmark’s biggest transport and retail enterprises, all of…

In a new study, TNO has updated the future scenarios for the Dutch energy supply drawn up two years ago. Using these scenarios, TNO examined what the tightening of climate targets (at least 55% CO2 reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050) means for making the Dutch energy system more sustainable after 2030. The study paints a picture of our future energy system including the use of renewable energy sources, green hydrogen and possibly nuclear energy. One conclusion remains unchanged: a scenario with higher ambitions will not lead to higher costs. Martin Scheepers, TNO expert and lead author of…

Hydrogen production will be set up at the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, Deputy Director General of the enterprise’s modernization project Emil Alhasli told Trend. Hydrogen production equipment will be installed as part of a project to modernize and reconstruct the Baku Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery. “The hydrogen production equipment can be put into operation as early as the second half of 2022. Also, units for production of EURO-5 standard diesel fuel will be commissioned,” Alkhasli said. The modernization of the refinery is carried out in order to increase the production capacity of the plant, ensure the supply of Euro-5…

Nippon Electric Glass has demonstrated that glass can be melted using just hydrogen fuel from a hydrogen-oxygen combustion burner developed in collaboration with Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation. The newly constructed hydrogen-oxygen combustion burner allows for precise adjustment of the natural gas-hydrogen mixture ratio. It was confirmed in the demonstration experiment that regardless of the combustion method used, pure hydrogen or a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas, a melting capacity equivalent to that obtained from pure natural gas combustion could be obtained by adjusting the fuel flow rate in accordance with the mixing ratio. This permits the combination of oxygen…
