Octopus Hydrogen, Octopus Renewables, and MIRA Technology Park announced plans to develop a green refueling forecourt on-site at MIRA Technology Park that will provide hydrogen and electric vehicle charging to support the needs of the fastest growing cluster of automotive and mobility technology companies driving the mobility revolution. Octopus’s solution combines its hydrogen company, which focuses on offering green hydrogen-as-a-service to accelerate adoption, with Octopus Renewables, which will supply energy via a purpose-built 7MW ground-mounted solar array adjacent to the MTP forecourt. MTP is home to 40 global titans of the zero-carbon mobility revolution, with an increasing number focusing on…

ITM Power announced the signing of a contract for the supply of 12MW of electrolysis equipment to be installed in 2022 and recognized in the fiscal year 2022/23. Due to business sensitivity, the customer and location remain private. This project was previously included in the contracts backlog (during negotiation) and has been transferred to work in progress.

Geazone Eco-Couriers has announced the introduction of North America’s first hydrogen-fueled courier fleet. “Geazone is committed to providing a fast, reliable, affordable and sustainable delivery service with the customer in mind, and this new hydrogen-powered zero-emission fleet will help us achieve this,” says Geazone President & CEO Andrew Mitchell. “We believe all businesses can be champions of sustainability and we want to help lead this change.” Geazone Eco-Courier is a zero-emissions courier firm established in British Columbia that provides sustainable delivery, third-party logistics, and freight services to businesses around Vancouver Island and the Greater Vancouver Area.

The Tasmanian Government appreciates Woodside Energy’s news today that it has acquired land in the Bell Bay area for its proposed renewable hydrogen and ammonia plant, H2TAS. Woodside Energy has indicated that this tiered project will begin with a 300 megawatt facility with an annual ammonia output target of 200,000 tonnes from renewable hydrogen. This ammonia will be produced using renewable energy in Tasmania, complementing the state’s unique status as a renewable energy self-sufficiency state with a statutory target of 200 percent by 2040. Woodside’s statement further demonstrates the Tasmanian Government’s commitment to Bell Bay becoming a renewable hydrogen hub…

Fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil must be replaced by clean energy sources such as green hydrogen if climate targets are to be met. Hydrogen plays a central role in the European Union’s multi-billion dollar “Green Deal” climate project, and the Netherlands also has high hopes for a future hydrogen economy. The geographical location of the Netherlands is contributing to the emergence of projects for large-scale hydrogen production here. In Eemshaven, Cas König from the company “Groningen Seaports”, which is responsible for the ports and industrial parks, tells of the best conditions: Natural gas has been produced in…

Getech has obtained exclusive rights to pursue green hydrogen and new onshore wind and solar capacity at the Port of Shoreham on England’s south coast. The agreement, which was signed with Getech subsidiary H2 Green, provides for a two-year legally binding license to develop the renewable energy hub. The initial phase of the project will focus on providing green hydrogen and renewable energy to the Port’s fleet of 39 heavy forklift trucks and 12 heavy goods vehicles.Green Hydrogen will be sourced through a “scalable green hydrogen production, storage, and refueling facility whose economics will be optimized through integration with new…

During his visit to Norway this week, King Willem-Alexander emphasized the importance of using new forms of energy such as hydrogen. In the Netherlands, a system has recently become available that not only delivers more than 50 percent energy savings for the heating and ventilation of large industrial buildings and distribution centers, but is also ready to switch to hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. The patented ‘Advanced Energy Technology’ (AET) system comes from the English family company Globe Energy. They developed a heating and ventilation system especially for large commercial spaces with heights from 5 to 50 meters. “These…

Another critical step has been taken toward commercialization of zero-carbon flights to the Isles of Scilly. This week, ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow, three companies signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) formalizing their relationship and commitment to bringing hydrogen-powered flights to the islands, thereby realizing the zero-carbon vision. The Isles of Scilly Steamship Group (ISSG), Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS), and their partner Britten-Norman have pledged to work collaboratively to bring the vision to life. CAeS is leading the collaboration under Project Fresson, leveraging Britten-expertise Norman’s as the original equipment manufacturer for one of the…

Tlou and hydrogen technology partner Synergen Met are collaborating on the Lesedi Power Project (“Lesedi”) to combine large, established natural gas reserves with abundant solar energy to produce green hydrogen, thereby providing a complementary range of cleaner and greener power generation options. The Company has signed a 10MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Botswana Power Corporation, and the power dispatched under this PPA will assist in the displacement of existing carbon-intensive power. Transmission lines connecting Lesedi to the existing electricity grid are expected to be completed in 2023. The prototype hydrogen production unit is currently being designed, built, and tested…

Ceres Power Holdings has partnered with RFC Power Limited, a long-duration energy storage provider. As an early stage startup, RFC aims to produce the world’s lowest cost flow battery, which is a hybrid fuel cell/battery that separates power and energy. It is a proprietary hydrogen manganese chemistry that promises cheap cost, great round-trip efficiency, and an extraordinarily long cycle life. Long-duration energy storage technologies like hydrogen and flow batteries can help decarbonize the energy system and achieve net zero carbon. Mark Selby, Ceres’ Chief Innovation Officer, will now join the RFC Board. He will use Ceres’ expertise in technology licensing…
