These are the initiatives launched by Enel Green Power, Linde, Engie, Air Liquide, GNL Quintero, and CAP that were chosen for co-financing in this call with the goal of accelerating the growth of this industry in Chile and thereby placing the country as a global leader. Corfo selected six of the twelve proposals submitted in the first call for green hydrogen production plants in Chile, with the goal of expediting the implementation of these initiatives in the country’s north, center, and south, in order to address climate change challenges while also promoting investment in clean energy, job creation, and entrepreneurship…

The first nuclear power plant in Russia dedicated to hydrogen production is scheduled to begin operations in 2033 and be fully operational by 2036, according to Andrey Nikipelov, General Director of Atomenergomash Holding’s machine construction business. Atomenergomash’s participation in hydrogen projects is being explored in numerous directions, including the building of nuclear power plants (NPPs) for hydrogen generation and the development of equipment for hydrogen storage and transportation, Nikipelov added. According to him, the firm OKBM Afrikantov (Nizhny Novgorod) of Atomenergomash is currently finalizing the preliminary design of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). “According to the roadmap, the technical design…

Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s “Climatescope 2021” ranks Chile as the “top country in America” for renewable energy investment, beating out Brazil, Canada, and the United States. Chile retains its status as the “best country in America” to invest in renewable energy for the fourth consecutive year, a position it has held for at least two decades. Additionally, it is ranked second in the world among emerging economies, behind India. The research identifies the following goals for 2020: the entry of 4,600 million dollars in alternative energy investments, with solar and wind power taking the lead. They add the 2035 target…

Now that fossil fuels have reached the end of their useful lives, oil and gas companies are looking for new markets. They are being discovered by Neptune Energy in CO2 and hydrogen. “Why not repurpose existing infrastructure and pipelines?” “As a gas producer, we play a critical part in the energy transition.” Lex de Groot, director of Neptune Energy Netherlands, offers no apologies. “Producing gas and working on the energy transition are not mutually exclusive; they complement one another.” After all, gas will continue to meet a sizable amount of the Netherlands’ energy needs for the next two decades, according…

Global business is increasingly transforming itself into a more sustainable, carbon-neutral economy. As part of our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, SK Group firms are redirecting their investments and operations in order to minimize and eventually eliminate their net carbon emissions. Hydrogen is an alternative energy source that SK enterprises and partners are developing to assist us in meeting our environmental goals. Monolith, a United States-based firm in which SK Inc. is a strategic investor, has achieved a new hydrogen energy milestone. Monolith stated that it has received conditional permission from the United States Department of Energy…

From Hydrogen to Green Hydrogen Mallorca, a joint venture run by ACCIONA Energía and Enagás in collaboration with CEMEX and IDAE, has begun commissioning tests for renewable hydrogen production at its Lloseta facilities. After acquiring the integrated environmental authorization, which completes the paperwork necessary by the Government of the Balearic Islands, the Lloseta facility began producing hydrogen utilizing the first industrial-scale renewable hydrogen project in Spain and Southern Europe. From this point on, the start-up method is tested. The electrolyser, which separates water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms, is powered by renewable energy generated by two photovoltaic plants, one…

MTD Champaign-Urbana has leveraged public and private collaborations to become the first transit agency in the United States to operate a hydrogen fuel cell fleet entirely powered by renewable energy. The consortium is comprised of local, corporate, state, and federal government bodies, as well as non-profit organizations. Along with them, the agency made history earlier this year by introducing a new fleet of hydrogen-powered transit cars. This includes the first commercial deployment of 60-foot articulated fuel cell electric buses in the United States and a 100 percent green hydrogen production facility. The collaborations were critical in enabling Champaign-Urbana MTD to…

In the green transition, hydrogen will play a critical role. By 2050, the EU expects that hydrogen will account for 10 to 24% of total energy consumption. While electric cars are projected to dominate the passenger car industry, hydrogen is predicted to play a significant part in the greening of freight transportation.

He envisions a bright future for hydrogen as a member of the Gasunie Board of Directors and a key participant in several forums discussing the long-term sustainability of gas usage. When will we notice this in our nation, and how will we notice it?

Heavy-duty vehicles that do not release pollution and hydrogen trucks that do not generate smoke will begin actual transportation next year.
