This has made it possible to do research on how to construct an island-mode competent offshore hydrogen generation system at the turbine level.

By 2030, the Scottish Government intends hydrogen to provide nearly a sixth of Scotland’s electricity.

The Maritime Cluster of Cantabria (MarCA) is promoting the formation of the ‘Green Hydrogen Cantabria’ consortium, which has a budget of between 26.2 and 28.3 million euros and has already attracted 26 enterprises.

RWE and Shell want to collaborate on initiatives in the domains of green hydrogen and decarbonization.

ULEMCo is getting a fuel cell for study under the HySPERT feasibility project as a first step (Hydrogen Special Purpose Electric vehicle platform for Refuse collection and fire Trucks).

Startups that are increasing low-carbon hydrogen generation, improving hydrogen storage and distribution, or delivering business model improvements for hydrogen supply chain management are encouraged to apply.

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…

Sinopec, China’s largest oil refiner, is on track to open a hydrogen production facility for hydrogen fuel cells in Qingdao, Shandong province, in late December. Sinopec began construction of the facility, which will have a capacity of 2,250 tonnes per year, in July and completed it this month. Additionally, it intends to construct a second phase of this project, increasing total capacity to 4,500 t/yr by the end of 2023. It will be Shandong province’s largest hydrogen production facility. Sinopec intends to establish itself as China’s “number one” hydrogen company by constructing 1,000 hydrogen refueling stations during the country’s 14th…

Daimler’s efforts to decarbonize road freight in Europe result in another collaboration between its Truck AG subsidiary and TotalEnergies, a French energy company. Both parties intend to contribute their expertise toward the common goal of easing the transition to clean hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks. While Daimler Truck has committed to supplying hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks to its customers in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg by 2025, its partner has committed to operating up to 150 hydrogen refueling stations across Europe by 2030, including in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Germany. According to Karin Rdström, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, the initiative…
