KPIT Technologies, a major global provider of automotive solutions, has teamed with a number of vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop a process for producing hydrogen from biomass such as wheat and rice straw. Hydrogen can be created from biomass through microbial action on wheat and rice straw, as well as through wood combustion. Unlike batteries, which take up a lot of space and lower transporter payloads, hydrogen as a biomass-based fuel has the potential to overcome two significant industry issues: high battery costs and limited battery space on vehicles. “The cost of hydrogen produced from biomass is significantly…

In Mexico, researchers examined the integration of hydrogen-based power-to-gas-to-power into an existing rural microgrid. They stated that this method may become competitive if the costs of the electrolyzer, fuel cell, and hydrogen tank are halved, or if diesel prices continue to rise. The National Institute of Electricity and Clean Energy in Mexico undertook a techno-economic feasibility study to determine the viability of integrating hydrogen-based power-to-gas-to-power (P2G2P) in a rural microgrid servicing the Puertecitos community in the Mexican state of Baja California. Hydrogen would be used to store surplus renewable energy during the winter, with the hydrogen facility consisting of an…

Statkraft and Skagerak Energi awarded 14MNOK in support to develop the green hydrogen bunkering solution for the world’s first zero-emission bulk carrier.

Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, discusses how his firm is dealing with supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and geopolitical challenges in an interview with Bloomberg.

Burckhardt Compression, based in Winterthur, Switzerland, has begun work on a hydrogen test facility to explore sealing technologies and solutions for hydrogen filling stations for heavy-duty cars.

Mitsubishi Power has announced plans to build the Takasago Hydrogen Park, which will be the world’s first center for validation of hydrogen-related technologies, from hydrogen manufacturing to power generation.

The CEGH GreenGas Platform will begin as a biogas marketplace, allowing for the purchase and sale of biomethane with or without assurances of provenance, according to CEGH. Green hydrogen will be exchanged on the platform whenever it becomes accessible on the market.

China accounts for over a third of world emissions each year. It’s committed to becoming carbon-neutral by 2060, and green hydrogen production is a vital part of that strategy.

Green hydrogen is high on the political agenda not only in Flanders, but also in South Africa. A collaboration is in the making, as it turned out during a working visit by Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon to Pretoria.

The Pamesa Group’s goal is to gradually replace natural gas usage with eFuel fuel, with the first phase beginning with the delivery of thermal energy at one of the Pamesa Group’s plants in Onda, Castellón.
