Hydrofuel Canada Inc. has agreed to purchase 100% of Kontak Hydrogen Storage, LLC (Kontak) in an all-stock transaction. Kontak is situated in Issaquah, Washington, USA. Kontak’s method is capable of efficiently releasing hydrogen from a dozen known carrier molecules. Anhydrous ammonia has the highest storage capacity of the carriers, with 17.3 percent hydrogen by weight held in liquid form, similar to propane. Ammonia (NH3) molecules are composed of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. NH3 is a very promising and environmentally acceptable fuel source because it contains no carbon, 1.5 times the amount of hydrogen found in liquid hydrogen…

Baker Hughes, a technology business focused on energy, announced an investment in Ekona Power Inc., a growth stage company developing a new turquoise hydrogen generation technology. Baker Hughes will leverage the investment to expand its hydrogen and natural gas decarbonization solutions portfolio, thereby contributing to the energy transition. Turquoise hydrogen is produced by pyrolysis, also known as splitting or cracking, of methane. Ekona’s methane pyrolysis solution utilizes combustion and high-speed gas dynamics in a reactor to separate feedstock methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, significantly lowering carbon dioxide emissions in comparison to the more conventional steam methane reforming process. The…
