After 26 years in business, Australia’s CST Composites is establishing a joint venture with US-based hydrogen storage tank producer Optimum Composite Technologies to position itself as a leader in the worldwide green hydrogen supply chain. CST Composites will enhance its core competencies to support Optimum’s expansion in developing and manufacturing Composite Pressure Vessels (CPVs), which are used to store hydrogen and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), among other things. CST currently operates two manufacturing facilities in Australia, and future expansion plans include the establishment of Australia’s first hydrogen vessel manufacturing facility, which will service emerging and growing demand from the defense…

Orica and H2U Group announced the formation of a strategic collaboration to advance the first phase of the projected H2-HubTM Gladstone project in Queensland. With the potential to generate over 550 direct jobs during construction, over 140 ongoing local operational jobs, and approximately 1,900 indirect jobs, and to attract a $4.7 billion investment during its phased construction, the project would support a steady transition to renewable energy in Central Queensland and position the region to capitalise on the growing global green ammonia industry, which is forecast to exceed $50 billion by 2031. Both parties will explore the possibility of an…

First Hydrogen Corp. unveiled its Energy Division’s strategy and road map for growth. As previously reported, First Hydrogen Energy is pursuing initiatives for green hydrogen production in the United Kingdom and Canada. First Hydrogen Energy has identified four industrial sites in the United Kingdom and is in the process of negotiating land rights with landowners and collaborating with engineering consultants Ove Arup & Partners Limited (ARUP) on engineering studies and designs. The sites are strategically located across the North and South of the United Kingdom and will each house a large refueling station – for light, medium, and heavy commercial…

From 2020, despite the world economy’s struggles due to Covid-19, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar electricity will continue to increase fast. Renewable energy economies are more electrified, efficient, linked, and environmentally friendly. Its emergence is the result of a positive feedback loop between policy action and technology progress. Renewable energy technology, without a doubt, is emerging as a significant new area of investment, as well as a vibrant arena for worldwide energy firms and rivalry. Hydrogen, as a typical clean, efficient, and sustainable carbon-free energy source that produces only water when burned in a fuel cell, has…

Africa Hydrogen Partnership (AHP) is looking at the idea of establishing three hydrogen valleys and a ‘Hydrogen Road,’ according to one AHP member.

Iberdrola will receive 53 million euros from the EIB and 35 million euros from ICO for this purpose, with both loans recognized as green finance.

Gen2 Energy of Norway has secured a contract with Sirius Develop & Integration to design two specialized ships for transporting huge volumes of compressed hydrogen containers.

Gasunie, HES International (HES), and Vopak will collaborate to construct an import terminal for green ammonia, which may be used to transport hydrogen. The corporations have signed a memorandum of understanding to that effect. The collaboration is in response to increased worldwide demand for green energy imports and storage. This quarter, construction will begin on the import terminal’s basic design. The terminal, dubbed ACE Terminal, will open on the Maasvlakte in 2026. Green hydrogen is viewed as a critical component of the future mix of renewable energy sources. Green hydrogen demand is increasing in the energy, transportation, and petrochemical industries…
