Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract by European Energy to supply an electrolyzer plant. The Danish developer and operator of green energy projects is creating the world’s first commercial-scale e-Methanol manufacturing facility, with hydrogen supplied by a Siemens Energy 50 megawatt (MW) electrolyzer plant. The facility will be built in Kass, Denmark, west of Aabenraa and close the German border. The project will have access to low-cost renewable electricity required to manufacture cost-effective e-Fuel via the neighboring 300 MW Kass solar park planned by European Energy. Among the e-Methanol’s end users will be the shipping corporation Maersk and the…

Solaris has been awarded a contract to supply five hydrogen-powered Urbino 12 hydrogen buses to Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital. The contract is valued at approximately €4 million. EMT-Board Palma’s of Directors has chosen to purchase five hydrogen-powered, zero-emission Solaris cars. This investment is part of the EU-funded “Green Hyslan” project. The project’s mission is to advance renewable energy production as part of efforts to prevent climate change by 2050. The Spanish island is expected to become a European benchmark for zero-emission energy use as a result of the planned operations. “Interest in hydrogen technology is steadily growing and the decision of the…

Fraunhofer researchers have discovered a new method for converting hydrogen to methanol that involves minimal energy waste. This has the potential to considerably simplify storage and transportation. Almost every day brings news of new advances in the field of hydrogen, and for good reason: its potential for the energy transition is huge. And indeed, concentrated efforts are resulting in an increasing number of innovations that will likely soon make the environmentally friendly energy carrier practical for everyday use in a wide variety of applications – the Fraunhofer Institute for Microtechnology and Microsystems IMM has recently unveiled a new methanol reformer…

A new metropolis is creating a green hydrogen ecosystem. The European Metropolis of Lille, in partnership with Engie (66%), has created Hyléos to produce and distribute renewable hydrogen. Like Dijon Métropole, MEL wants to use the electricity produced from the waste from the Halluin Energy Recovery Center to produce renewable hydrogen. The aim of this project is to power 42 buses and 5 refuse collection vehicles. The buses will be put into circulation progressively, up to 2 years after the commissioning of the station. This renewable hydrogen production and distribution station will be located in the municipalities of Sequedin and…

CO2 emissions from road freight transit must be reduced. Electric drives are suitable for short distances, whereas hydrogen is a viable option for longer journeys. However, numerous aspects concerning the H2 drive remain unknown. Hydrogen may one day provide climate-friendly energy for long-distance trucks. However, it is unclear how or in what form this potential ingredient will be implemented in Europe’s vehicles at the moment. However, time is of the essence. The debate continues over whether the green vehicle of the future should run entirely on hydrogen or whether it would be wiser to use batteries. Even the industry is…

In 2045, depending on how hydrogen consumption increases in specific industries, eastern Germany might face an annual hydrogen shortfall of up to 54 TWh.

Barwon Water will supply recycled water to the Viva Energy Australia Geelong refinery for the generation of renewable hydrogen that will be utilized at a Geelong New Energies Service Station.

New Memorandum of Understanding between ENGIE and Korean steel-maker POSCO to target green hydrogen production in the Middle East, Australia and Latin America

Developed by Germany-based hydrogen specialist Enapter, the EL 4.0 electrolyzer is based on a patented anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology. Commercial production is currently being prepared at the company’s Italian plant and the first shipments should be made in the summer.

The proposed hydrogen plant would be able to create up to 1 billion cubic feet of “blue” hydrogen per day, which is a term used in the industry to describe hydrogen produced from natural gas and backed by carbon capture and storage.
