Equinor and SSE Thermal plan to collaborate on the development of two first-of-their-kind, low-carbon power stations in the UK’s Humber area, including one of the UK’s first power stations with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and the world’s first 100 percent hydrogen-fueled power station. The proposals, which are supported by a new partnership arrangement between the two firms, will aid the UK’s path to net zero emissions and facilitate the decarbonization of the Humber, the UK’s biggest and most carbon-intensive manufacturing cluster. The ventures have the ability to generate thousands of skilled jobs and revitalize a significant manufacturing heartland.…

Loop Energy and BayoTech have inked a joint market development agreement for the deployment of hydrogen vehicles and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The collaboration aims at reducing the complexity of adopting hydrogen electric solutions by providing fleet operators with clear and actionable strategic direction in respect to fuel cell powered vehicles and hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Under the agreement, Loop and BayoTech will collaborate on development of market opportunities for deployment of vehicles manufactured by Loop’s OEM customers in combination with on-site hydrogen generation infrastructure provided by BayoTech. The initial scope of such market development activities is further centered around the vertical markets of materials…

VNG Innovation and Wintershall Dea Technology Ventures have acquired shares in the British startup HiiROC. The company, based in Hull, England, is creating transformational technology for low-cost, zero-emission hydrogen generation from natural gas or bio-natural gas for power generation, industry, and transport including aviation. “We are delighted to be involved in another innovative start-up, HiiROC. HiiROC has developed a methane pyrolysis process that is much more efficient and effective than conventional processes. The technology can be a real game changer for the production costs of hydrogen.”Dr. Matthias Tischner and Andreas Päts, managing directors of VNG Innovation. The hydrogen obtained can…

Toyota Motor Europe (TME) has become a direct shareholder in EODev (Energy Observer Developments). The expanded collaboration with the French creative start-up demonstrates the company’s confidence in agile, young companies with the aim of expanding the proliferation of hydrogen applications. EODev and its collaborators are developing themselves as a European leader capable of planning, producing, and distributing zero-emission energy systems on a wide scale. “We are very pleased with the capital investment in our business by Toyota. It marks a significant step in the development of EODev. Our relationship began by developing the GEH2 and REXH2 together and validating it…

Onahama port on Japan’s northeast coast aims to accommodate future needs for imports of carbon-neutral fuels, such as ammonia and hydrogen, by taking advantage of its coal import infrastructure. The transport ministry’s Tohoku regional bureau has drafted a proposal to develop Onahama port in Fukushima prefecture as a carbon-neutral port, as part of Tokyo’s strategy to tackle energy transition in the run-up to 2050. The draft proposal aims to address an estimated 16mn t/yr of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated from port operations and to decarbonise by 2050. Under the proposal, the group plans to actively examine developing infrastructure for…

Consortium with partners from Belgium, Germany, Spain and Portugal is developing and testing a new zero-emission train prototype.

Norsk Hydro, a Norwegian aluminum and renewable energy firm, is investigating the feasibility of building and running hydrogen facilities to satisfy high internal demand while still serving an export market, using the company’s industrial and renewable energy capabilities. Hydro has identified a strong strategic path for2025, with the goal of improving its role in low-carbon aluminum while pursuing potential growth prospects in recycling and new energy. “We see a substantial potential for industrial hydrogen consumption. Taking a developer and operator role in the hydrogen sector represents an opportunity for Hydro to reduce industrial CO2 emissions and develop a profitable and…
