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 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.

The Climate Agreement promised in 2019 to have 4 gigawatts of capacity for renewable hydrogen generation by 2030. However, as VVD and D66 point out, the world has changed, in part owing to the conflict in Ukraine. As a result, we aim to wean ourselves off of Russian gas.

Northern Territory and Queensland state governments streamline approvals for large projects, as developers sign partnership agreements

Infinite Blue Energy, a Perth-based renewable energy firm, has struck an agreement with Aboriginal-owned Boya Energy to build and develop a proposed 10MW green hydrogen facility in Northam, Western Australia. The announcement comes on the heels of Infinite Blue Energy’s acquisition of the 11MW Northam solar farm late last month – a joint venture between Indigenous Business Australia and Bookitja, a division of Noongar Property Holdings. Infinite has recently inked an agreement with Boya Energy to collaborate on the construction and development of the 10MW MEG HP1 green hydrogen plant, which will be capable of producing up to four tons…
