Woodside Energy, Keppel Data Centers, City Energy (as Trustee of City Energy Trust), Osaka Gas Singapore, and City-OG Gas Energy Services (hereinafter, the “Parties”) have signed an MOU to study the feasibility of a long-term, stable supply chain of sustainable Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) from Western Australia to Singapore and possibly Japan. In Kwinana, Woodside will strive to establish a large-scale LH2 and Ammonia export center at the projected H2Perth Hydrogen complex. The study is planned to go until mid-2022, when the parties will decide on the next step. Hydrogen is a viable next-generation low-carbon fuel that can be utilized in…

Cummins Inc. and China Petrochemical Corporation have formed a 50:50 joint venture called Cummins Enze Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd. Through greater technological innovation, research and development, and manufacturing capability, the joint venture will expedite the cost and availability of green hydrogen. Cummins Enze, headquartered in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, would initially invest $47 million (RMB 300 million) in the establishment of a production facility for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. After completion in 2023, the plant’s initial manufacturing capacity of 500 megawatts of electrolyzers per year will be gradually increased to one gigawatt per year over the next five years.…

India, the world’s third-largest energy user, seeks to lower its carbon intensity by 45 percent and carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. It also plans to produce approximately 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The country has made some encouraging strides, with both public and private sector companies announcing significant investments in green hydrogen production. However, there is an air of reluctance on the ground, particularly in difficult-to-decarbonize domestic industries such as steel. The majority of Indian steelmakers have yet to commit to a transition to environmentally friendly hydrogen-based technologies. The primary…

PAO NOVATEK and Uniper agreed on a long-term supply of up to 1.2 million tons of low-carbon ammonia per year to the predominantly German market. Indexation of the product’s price to key European and global benchmarks. The Term Sheet details the terms of NOVATEK’s supply of low-carbon ammonia to Uniper. The ammonia will be produced at the Company’s planned Obskiy GCC (Gas Chemical Complex), which will include carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities, and delivered to Uniper’s planned ammonia import terminal in Wilhelmshaven, which will be equipped with a renewable-energy-powered ammonia cracker. The imported low-carbon ammonia will be used as…

The Executive has approved the strategic initiative for the recovery and economic transformation of renewable energy, renewable hydrogen, and storage (PERTE), which aims to raise 16.3 billion euros (6.9 billion in public funds and 9.5 billion in private sector investments).

Hyundai Engineering will complete a technological demonstration test to manufacture high-purity clean hydrogen utilizing waste plastics as a raw material by the end of this year and will begin construction on a hydrogen production facility the following year. The facility will be built in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, at a total cost of 400 billion won.

The transition to a low-carbon economy is both a necessary task and a tremendous opportunity for our society to achieve a better future.

Metals commonly used for pipes and industrial plants show no signs of increased hydrogen embrittlement even under stress. Mixing hydrogen with natural gas or using gas lines for hydrogen transport is therefore feasible, according to the researchers.

The Spanish technology company is developing SoHyCal, a pioneering project to generate up to 1,000 kg of hydrogen per day, for which the California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded a grant of $ 3.96 million.

The government has decided to consider adding hydrogen to the current national strategic technology limited to semiconductors, batteries, and vaccines. If it is selected as a national strategic technology, the tax deduction rate for R&D and facility investment will increase significantly. The tax credit rate for facility investment rises to 6-16% depending on the size of the company, and the tax credit rate for R&D expenses rises to 30-50%. The plan to include hydrogen technology as a national strategic technology was not included in this year’s tax law revision. However, the government decided to review the designation of national strategic…
