Hydro Havrand, Hydro’s green hydrogen subsidiary, and Shell New Energies Holding Europe B.V. (“Shell”) have agreed to examine the possibility of collaborating on hydrogen production using renewable energy. The goal is to use the hydrogen to assist Hydro and Shell in decarbonizing their own operations, as well as to serve customers in heavy industries, the maritime industry, and road transport. Shell and Hydro Havrand signed a memorandum of understanding this week to jointly produce and supply hydrogen generated from renewable energy in hubs centered on Hydro and Shell’s own operations, and where they see significant potential for scaling production for…

China’s hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are likely to be cost competitive in 2030 with conventional vehicles driven by gasoline or gasoil, Jiang Ning, chief expert with Sinopec Marketing, stated Nov. 8. Register Now “By 2025, when green hydrogen [renewables-based hydrogen] cost is expected to be lower than Yuan 30/kg [approx. $4.69/kg] and gasoil price [would be] around Yuan 6.7/Lite [74 cents/Liter before taxes], hydrogen-powered trucks’ fuel cost will be competitive against gasoil-fueled ones,” Jiang said, sharing the results from the company’s recent study. He noted that hydrogen fuel costs below Yuan 34/kg (about $5.32/kg) imply fuel cost parity…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Universal Hydrogen Co. (UH2), both based in Los Angeles, have partnered to enable the aviation industry to decarbonize via zero-emission green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is an ideal aviation fuel since it is a zero-emission, renewable resource that produces nothing except water when burned. Apart from nuclear fuels, it is also the most weight-efficient energy carrier available, delivering roughly four times the energy per unit of mass as conventional jet fuel. The announcement comes on the heels of US President Joe Biden’s recognition of FFI as one of few companies to join his renowned ‘First Movers…

EDP has set a new strategic objective for renewable hydrogen and anticipates investing in projects that will add 1.5 GW of capacity by 2030. With this ambition – announced on Tuesday, November 9, at COP26, the United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow – EDP joins the WBCSD’s (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) H2Zero pledge, which aims to accelerate the global development of renewable hydrogen. It is a significant reinforcement of EDP’s ambition, for which its current presence in strategic markets (such as the Iberian Peninsula, the United States of America, and Brazil) and in regions with favorable conditions for…
