Officials from Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) announced that a groundbreaking pilot project to carry liquefied hydrogen from Australia had demonstrated the feasibility of the new seaborne trade. Earlier this year, the Suiso Frontier (pictured), built by KHI, transported a cargo of hydrogen produced in Australia from Australia to Japan, arriving in Kobe late last month. “The demonstration, which covered everything from production to transportation to loading and storage, established the technological foundations for the future use of hydrogen as an energy source in the same way that liquefied natural gas is used today,” KHI executive officer Motohiko Nishimura told…

The photopyrolysis of biomass to produce hydrogen has been developed by researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland). The biomass is treated with a xenon lamp, which is frequently used to cure metallic ink used in printed electronics.The white flash is a short-pulse, high-power energy source that initiates photothermal processes that convert biomass to synthesis gas, which can be used to separate pure hydrogen and charcoal. On banana peels, maize cobs, orange peels, coffee beans, and even coconut shells, scientists demonstrated their expertise. It is effective! for every kilogram of dried biomass, around 100 liters of hydrogen…

Air Liquide obtains financing from the French government, subject to final approval by the European Commission, to launch its large-scale renewable hydrogen generation project, Air Liquide Normand’Hy. This electrolyzer, with an initial capacity of 200 MW, will use Siemens Energy technology to produce renewable hydrogen to TotalEnergies’ Normandy refinery. This project will make a substantial contribution to the development of a low-carbon hydrogen sector in France and Europe, as well as to the decarbonization of the Normandy industrial basin. Additionally, it will aid in the development of heavy-duty hydrogen mobility in this critical industrial sector. Air Liquide has submitted an…
