Tallgrass Energy, LP announced that it has completed the acquisition of a 75% membership stake in Escalante H2 Power (EH2 Power). EH2 Power is creating a world-first hydrogen-to-power project at Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc.’s Escalante Generating Station near Prewitt, New Mexico, by turning the abandoned coal-fired power plant into a clean hydrogen-fired power plant. “Our acquisition of a 75 percent membership interest in EH2 Power further advances our overall hydrogen development and clean energy infrastructure strategy,” said Tallgrass CEO William R. Moler. “We believe the Escalante Station is uniquely positioned to be a proving ground for hydrogen-to-power in…

The Indian Railways has issued a tender for the operation of trains using a hybrid hydrogen fuel cell and battery-based technology as part of its efforts to reduce pollution and fuel costs. Initially, it intends to convert two diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) rakes on Northern Railway’s 89-kilometer Sonipat-Jind stretch using hydrogen power. The Indian Railways first intend to convert diesel-powered trains on the Northern Railway’s 89-kilometer Sonipat-Jind segment to run on hydrogen. The hydrogen fuel cell retrofit kit, which includes the balance-of-plant, energy storage, and hydrogen storage modules, will be used to replace the existing powertrain components onboard 1,600 horsepower…

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Research (EBRD) and Ukraine’s Gas Transmission System Operator (GTSOU) have teamed up to boost hydrogen development and use in the country. The parties signed a memorandum of understanding to formalize their collaboration on low-carbon hydrogen and the development of hydrogen supply chains, a first-of-its-kind arrangement. The EBRD and GTSOU previously signed a Memorandum of Understanding in April 2020 to establish a framework for promoting sustainable energy investments in Ukraine and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, particularly fugitive methane emissions, and air pollution. The EBRD regions are defined by a burgeoning renewable energy industry, which is…

The ZAL Centre for Applied Aeronautical Research has added a 20-meter-high, 100-m3 hydrogen storage tank to its infrastructure. The tank, donated by Air Products, which will also supply the required gaseous hydrogen, instantly doubles the research center’s capacity. The new infrastructure was officially launched on Wednesday, August 4th, by Michael Westhagemann, Hamburg’s Senator for Economics and Innovation. The ZAL Center for Applied Aeronautical Research provides comprehensive facilities for over 30 partners, including Airbus, DLR, Lufthansa Technik, and ZAL GmbH, to conduct research into the future air transport business. They all agree on one thing: hydrogen is critical for climate neutrality.…

Global Energy Ventures has signed a non-binding MoU with Province Resources and Total Eren (collectively, the HyEnergy Project partners) to fund a technical and commercial feasibility study on exporting green hydrogen from the HyEnergy Project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region to nominated markets in the Asia-Pacific region. GEV will conduct a feasibility study to determine the technical and commercial viability of the HyEnergy Project’s green hydrogen export. The scope of work comprises transporting hydrogen gas from an onshore production facility to an offshore ship loading buoy and ultimately to specified Asia-Pacific markets via GEV’s compressed hydrogen shipping system. The goal…

Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions has been awarded a contract by the Emirati business Helios Industry to conduct a technical study for a new green hydrogen and green ammonia project. A water electrolysis plant and a sustainable ammonia manufacturing facility based on thyssenkrupp technology are proposed for Kizad in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It will be the UAE’s first commercial plant to manufacture carbon-neutral green ammonia using renewable resources. The proposed facility will integrate thyssenkrupp’s green hydrogen and green ammonia technologies, with the first phase incorporating a multi-megawatt electrolyzer plant and an ammonia production facility with a capacity of 20,000 metric tons per…

Green hydrogen-powered buses, lorries, and vehicles may become a reality in New South Wales in the near future, owing to a new partnership between energy infrastructure company Jemena and gas supply business Coregas. Jemena will manufacture and supply green hydrogen from its Western Sydney plant beginning in early 2022 for use by transport and industrial customers. This is the first time in New South Wales’ transportation history that the state’s transportation industry will have access to green hydrogen. Gabrielle Sycamore, Jemena’s General Manager for Renewable Gas, said the deal illustrates the potential for green hydrogen to store renewable energy and…
