These advancements will also help it achieve one of its goals: developing a green hydrogen value chain to position our country as a European technological and industrial leader in a critical energy vector for electrifying industry and heavy transportation.
Sempra Energy has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the United States Department of Energy (DOE), laying the groundwork for a collaborative effort to advance future net-zero energy systems. The MOU, which builds on nearly a decade of ongoing collaboration, commits both parties to continuing research and development of innovative solutions to help shape a lower-carbon future through technology and applications that can withstand growing energy demand and widespread adoption while advancing future innovation. Sempra Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are extending their long-standing relationship to enhance the development of…
The research, which is one of the first of its kind, will also see how well a hydrogen electrolyser can follow a solar plant’s generation profile and, as a result, how its variable load might alleviate grid congestion.
Hydrogen is produced locally in various European industrial centres (Antwerp, Zeeland, Rotterdam), mainly from natural gas by steam methane reforming to produce grey hydrogen.
A survey of the literature on hydrogen in the Mediterranean was conducted, which included everything from European hydrogen policies and industries to think tank publications and academic research.
Green hydrogen has a lot of potential as a future clean energy source, according to Rupiper, because its generation method is more flexible.
The Gigastack project aims to develop a blueprint for the deployment of industrial-scale renewable hydrogen from offshore wind, and this is the first visualisation of what a renewable hydrogen plant in the Humber could look like – brought together based on work conducted as part of the FEED study, which will ultimately help turn this “virtual” vision into a reality. The FEED research enabled the partners – ITM Power, Ørsted, Phillips 66, and Element Energy – to gather significant, in-depth knowledge about the requirements for constructing a large-scale hydrogen electrolysis facility and the associated problems.
Australia and Singapore will collaborate on a $30 million project to expedite the use of low-emission fuels and technology such as clean hydrogen in maritime and port operations. Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated that the country is pursuing practical international collaborations to bring new energy technologies to commercial parity with established ways. “We’re working with partners around the world to make clean energy more affordable and reliable,” Prime Minister Morrison said. “We are positioning Australia to succeed by investing now in the new technologies that will support jobs and industries into the future. “Developing new low emissions industries means…
Rolls-Royce affirmed that fuel cell systems will be a critical component of its portfolio of sustainable solutions, with the luxury carmaker’s CEO expressing a desire to play a “pioneering role in fuel cell applications.” To demonstrate its commitment, the British engineering behemoth said that it is presently constructing a 250kW demonstrator at its Friedrichshafen, Germany, plant to evaluate sustainable and climate-friendly power generation via fuel cells. “We firmly believe that fuel cell technology is set to make a huge contribution to a successful energy turnaround. That’s why Rolls-Royce sees it as its mission to assume a pioneering role in fuel…
ASA (Advertising Standards Authorit) has issued Hyundai Motor UK a warning for a false advertisement which stated that its hydrogen-powered Nexo vehicle filters the air as it goes. The complainant challenged whether the claim “A car so clean, it purifies the air as it goes” was misleading and could be shown. Hyundai said that the NEXO was a hydrogen-powered car that generated electricity using a fuel cell. The oxygen was required for the fuel cell to work because contaminants in the air would harm the fuel cell. The air supply system is reported to be contained in the NEXO. Here,…
