Normally, electricity flows through cables and gas through pipelines. But a research team from Karlsruhe is working on combining the two. The vision: a pipeline that transports liquid hydrogen and electricity. Novel superconductors make it possible. Electricity flows through wires, gas flows through pipelines. That’s how it has been so far, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. At least that’s the opinion of the team led by Tabea Arndt, a physics professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. However, the substance she wants to transport is not natural gas, but green hydrogen, produced with the help of renewable…

At the beginning of 2021, the Swedish energy company Vattenfall surprisingly took its coal-fired power plant Moorburg off the grid – after only six years of operation. Apparently, the plant could no longer be operated economically, after long conflicts with environmental protection associations and court proceedings. The city of Hamburg wants to turn the strategically important site on the Elbe into a hub for the northern German energy transition. Following demolition of the power plant – known as “dismantling” in the energy industry – large electrolysis plants are to be built there. According to the plan, the existing connection to…

Scottish Development International and J-DeEP are collaborating to build a floating offshore hydrogen generation facility off the Scottish coast. According to research, the combination of large-scale offshore renewable energy with floating hydrogen production could become economically viable over the next several years, depending on the project structure. ClassNK, a Japanese ship classification society, has granted an approval in principle (AiP) for the development of a floating offshore hydrogen plant off the coast of Scotland by the Japan Offshore Design and Engineering Platform Technology and Engineering Research Association (J-DeEP). The hydrogen platform will be powered by wind turbine surplus energy. It…

Everfuel has been given the contract to build and commission a heavy-duty hydrogen refueling station in Wuppertal, Germany. WSW mobil GmbH has awarded Everfuel GmbH the contract for a hydrogen refueling station that will serve a fleet of public transportation fuel cell buses following a European-wide procurement process. This is Everfuel GmbH’s second contract in Germany for a hydrogen refueling station for fuel cell buses since the firm was created in early 2021 as a totally owned subsidiary of Denmark’s Everfuel A/S. “WSW is one of the pioneers in the deployment of fuel cell buses in public transport in Germany…

The Regional Councilor for Energy of the Sicilian Regional Government, Daniela Baglieri, has announced the constitution of an observatory at the end of the first day of the work of “The energies of Sicily”, the two days in progress at the exhibition center “Le Ciminiere” in Catania, organized as part of the “Energy Days 2022”. The tasks of the structure “The observatory in Sicily – said the Baglieri closing the round table in the afternoon – will not only have the task of taking stock of the state of the art, but will also be proactive through the many ideas…

Elogen and Sarralle have agreed to work together on the engineering, production, delivery, and commissioning of green hydrogen generating equipment for the steel sector.

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $4 million in funding to promote the development of ceramic-based materials to increase the efficiency of hydrogen-fueled turbines that might one day be utilized in clean power plants.

The Niagara Hydrogen Centre will manufacture green hydrogen with a 20-megawatt electrolyzer.

The ADIA will be a partner in the hydrogen projects to be implemented for ammonia production

The worldwide hydrogen industry is predicted to more than double in size from less than 100 million tons now to 223 million tons in 2050. Hydrogen with a low carbon footprint will both substitute existing fossil-fuel-intensive demand and open up new markets. With a fast rising pipeline of hydrogen projects, the critical concerns at the moment are: how large can the market truly become and where are the hottest opportunities? We analyze the supply and demand dynamics for low carbon hydrogen in our Hydrogen strategic planning overview, highlighting important demand possibilities – as well as supply dangers that must be…
