McDermott International has joined a collaboration of public, private, and academic partners working on a United States Department of Energy (DOE) initiative called the Demonstration and Framework for H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond. DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, which is part of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, is funding the study. H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond aims to demonstrate that renewable hydrogen may be a cost-effective fuel for a variety of end-use applications, including fuel cell electric vehicles, when combined with big, baseload consumers that generate clean, reliable stationary power using hydrogen. McDermott’s engagement strengthens…

Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) announced a partnership with Emirates Steel to develop a large-scale green hydrogen project that will enable the region’s first green steel production. Jasim Husain Thabet, CEO and Managing Director of TAQA Group, and Engineer Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, CEO of Emirates Steel, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). TAQA and Emirates Steel will examine deploying green hydrogen to optimize their clean steel production levels within the terms of the agreement. Hydrogen will enable green and low-carbon steel manufacture, reducing energy consumption and fostering a more sustainable and clean manufacturing process. Additionally, the MoU…

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has sold its first shipment of blue ammonia to Itochu in Japan, for use in fertilizer manufacture, in conjunction with Fertiglobe. The transaction builds on recently announced cooperative efforts to strengthen industrial collaboration between the UAE and Japan and to facilitate the establishment of new UAE-Japan blue ammonia supply chains. ADNOC has a long history of operating responsibly and taking a proactive approach to carbon management. The company’s emissions intensity per barrel is among the lowest in the industry, and it was a pioneer in establishing a policy of no routine flaring three…

The California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) recently released a new foundational document for heavy-duty class 8 fuel cell electric trucks (FCETs), titled “Fuel Cell Electric Trucks: A Vision for Freight Movement in California and Beyond.” The document envisions 70,000 trucks supported by 200 heavy-duty truck stations by 2035. The vision underlines the critical importance of policies that stimulate and accelerate private investment in order to attain this interim target of 100 percent zero-emission trucks by 2045. “Getting to a zero-emission future requires the partnership of government and industry, and the utilization of every tool at our disposal,” said Jerome Gregeois,…

The hydrogen electrolyzers market is estimated to reach a value of USD 79.90 million by 2024, growing at a 6.18 percent compound annual growth rate. This research study aids in the development of a thorough grasp of the underlying drivers driving market growth, as well as present and potential target customers across segments. According to the comprehensive assessment, factors such as increasing usage of fuel cell vehicles are expected to considerably boost market growth throughout the forecast period. North America will account for 40% of the hydrogen electrolyzers market growth throughout the forecast period. The United States and Canada are…

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Murihiku Hapu of Ngi Tahu have entered into a collaboration agreement to study and potentially construct a large-scale renewable green hydrogen generation project in Southland, New Zealand. The project seeks to build a large-scale hydrogen plant in Southland, with the goal of starting production in early 2025 and expanding in stages in the future. The project is subject to an initial review and investment decision by the boards of directors of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd and the New Zealand Investor Boards. FFI Chief Executive Officer Julie Shuttleworth AM said, “FFI’s goal is to become the…

Those are required for ships. Volkswagen is the world’s largest ship engine manufacturer. Volkswagen engines power more than half of all ships. We won’t be able to electrify those ships. Planes are the same way. A plane cannot be electrified. Hydrogen-based fuels are required.

With 80 percent of worldwide trade conducted by sea, the maritime transportation industry keeps the global economy humming. Due to the industry’s disproportionate reliance on shipping, it has the potential to bring global commerce to a standstill, as demonstrated by the recent grounding of a cargo ship, the Ever Given, in the Suez Canal, which resulted in a floating traffic congestion of over 400 ships. With over 90,000 ships comprising the world’s commercial fleet, shipping accounts for around 3% of global CO2 emissions. Modernizing one of the world’s oldest modes of trade through the use of cutting-edge, clean energy technology…

Hydrogen-powered mobility is a “interesting alternative” for India, particularly because it would lessen the country’s reliance on lithium imports, according to the head of Maruti Suzuki. The demand for lithium for batteries is increasing as governments throughout the world press automakers to fulfill tough carbon emission reduction objectives, which include phase-outs of internal combustion engines. However, carmakers in India have been slow to adopt electric cars (EVs) due to the high cost of batteries and an insufficient charging infrastructure. India also lacks lithium reserves, the most of which are held by China on a worldwide scale. This makes EVs difficult…

Dorset’s first hydrogen fuel processor is getting closer after a council approved a £1.5m grant. Canford Renewable Energy wants to grow at Canford Resource Park’s former landfill. It proposes an adjacent solar park to power the plant. Low Carbon Dorset’s award would contribute to project costs of little under £6m. If authorized, the development would be allowed to exist for 40 years. The application involves almost 11 hectares of land at the repaired White’s Pitt landfill site off Magna Road, Poole. The company claims the additional plant will produce enough hydrogen annually to fuel 900,000 truck miles. Low Carbon Dorset…
