Elliott Group has developed a new, reconfigurable compressor configuration for hydrogen applications. The Flex-Op® compressor configuration enhances reliability and accessibility to the rotating components, and leverages Elliott’s over 70 years of proven hydrogen compression experience. “Hydrogen compression requires a large number of compression stages to achieve a reasonable head for a very light gas,” said Dr. Klaus Brun, Elliott’s Director of Research and Development. “With the Flex-Op arrangement of three to four casings, up to 40 impeller stages can fit into a footprint that traditionally only fit up to 10 stages. This shrinks the linear footprint of the compressor section…

Iberdrola’s green hydrogen generation facility in Puertollano (Ciudad Real) will commence commercial operation in March. This was confirmed by Julio Castro, CEO of Iberdrola Renewable Energy, during the EL ESPAOL, Invertia, and El Digital de Castilla-La Mancha-organized I Castilla-La Mancha Economic Forum: Achievements and Challenges. “In Castilla-La Mancha, great opportunities open up with the development of renewables. It is the region with the most possibilities due to several factors, the first due to the wind and solar resources, which are very good, and second, because it is a very large territory , and that is compatible with the agro-livestock industry”.…

Developing a “green” hydrogen economy, according to one expert, might result in the creation of up to 50,000 new employment provided the government develops an appropriate strategy for the fuel. Numerous European Union member states have published programs for producing green hydrogen for use in heavy transport, industry, large-scale heating, and energy generation. Dr James Carton, associate professor of sustainable energy at Dublin City University, cautioned over the weekend that the Republic risks missing an opportunity if the Government does not soon disclose its policy. He observed that a green hydrogen sector could employ five times as many people as…

According to Economics Minister Robert Habeck, the demand for hydrogen as an energy source will increase rapidly. He sees politics as having a duty to create a legal basis – and to support it financially.

It is calculated that 1.9 million tons of green hydrogen demand can be generated in 2050 by replacing 10 percent of fossil fuels with green hydrogen in the manufacturing industry, natural gas and transportation sectors in Turkey.

SEA, the corporation responsible for the management of Milano Linate and Milano Malpensa airports, and Airbus, the world leader in the aeronautical and aerospace industries, have signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” to explore and implement hydrogen distribution projects at Milan’s airports. Around 2035, Airbus expects to manufacture the first hydrogen-powered aircraft. This implies that airports should improve their “readiness” and ensure that they have the infrastructure necessary to provide hydrogen to the new aircraft. Milan’s airports have risen to the occasion and will set the standard for Europe’s new generation of planes. The two companies intend to pool their resources…

According to the provincial president, an application has been submitted for the building of a public access route to Lago Escondido, which is now under the authority of businessman Joe Lewis’ private security.

At the location, according to the company, it will manufacture totally green hydrogen through electrolysis driven by solar energy, which will be utilized as a fuel for future hydrogen trains on the Polish railway system.

Plans are on for a multibillion-dollar hydrogen facility on Saudi Arabia’s northwestern coast, as the world’s largest oil exporter wagers on becoming the world’s largest generator of the clean energy source. If the new facility achieves its daily aim of 650 tonnes of ecologically beneficial ‘green’ hydrogen, it will become the largest in the world. The plant’s large-scale construction has not yet begun on the proposed city of Neom on the Red Sea coast. The Financial Times said that production would begin in 2026. Saudi Arabia’s attempt to monopolize hydrogen production is part of an effort to diversify its oil…

NorthC, the Netherlands’ largest regional data center business, is taking a significant new step toward continued environmental improvements. The company’s data center in Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, will be the first in Europe to use green hydrogen fuel cells (H2). This will result in significant CO2 emission savings. NorthC is researching the feasibility of implementing this hydrogen technology in the company’s other data centers. The sustainability of data centers is a point of contention. While energy consumption is critical, demand for data center services is increasing. The growth required for this can only be realized sustainably through…
