Reganosa-EDP green hydrogen project disclosed by Xunta
The Reganosa and EDP green hydrogen project in As Pontes (A Corua) is made public by La Xunta.
With the publication of the announcement this Monday in the Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG), by which the request for integrated environmental authorization, the environmental impact study, the declaration of public utility, and the project were made public, the Xunta advances in the processing of the green hydrogen plant promoted by Reganosa and EDP Renovables in As Pontes.
500 Picea hydrogen home power plants sold by HPS
The Picea year-round power storage system has seen a sharp surge in sales recently. Currently, HPS intends to increase production capabilities in order to accelerate delivery times.
Since the market debut, more than 500 units have been installed, according to Home Power Solutions (HPS), a Berlin-based creator and manufacturer of the Picea all-season electricity storage system. The systems are mostly intended for structures. The company has accomplished a significant milestone in its growth strategy with the installation of more than 500 units to date.
The demand is going up. Between the market launch between 2019 and September 2022, HPS sold 300 Picea systems. Throughout the previous six months, 200 additional systems were delivered to clients. According to the business, there will be a lot of demand from clients in both the private and commercial sectors this year.
Centrica to turn gas storage facility into hydrogen one
With an estimated £2 billion investment, Centrica plans to turn its gas storage facility, Rough, into one of the world’s largest hydrogen storage facilities.
The energy giant’s CEO, Chris O’Shea, revealed the information while highlighting the need for a new regulatory framework.
The CEO of the company that owns British Gas stated that longer-term resilience can be achieved using hydrogen rather than relying on fossil fuels and that a mix of renewable energy sources and battery storage may not be sufficient to provide energy security.
Govt. offers €5.4M for renewable hydrogen plant in Jaén
A project in the province of Jaén related to local hydrogen consumption has received a final concession of 5.4 million euros from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (Miteco).
Within the scope of the Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Recovery of Renewable Energies, Renewable Hydrogen, and Storage (Perte ERHA), it is an aid that intends to stimulate innovative initiatives and value chain generators in renewable hydrogen.
Virya Energy and Taxis Verts see success with Brussels’ first hydrogen-powered taxi
Six months after the city’s first hydrogen-powered taxi was introduced, Colruyt’s Virya Energy and Taxis Verts in Brussels drew their first positive balance on Monday.
The hydrogen taxi has travelled more than 32,000 kilometres on more than 1,200 trips since its premiere on September 16, 2022. The vehicle received 411.46 kg of hydrogen in total from 113 fuelings. Its typical range is over 400 km, which is comparable to the range of a partially fuelled diesel car or a completely charged electric car.
The hydrogen taxi costs 70,000 euros, which is equivalent to the price of “most premium cabs criss-crossing the Brussels Area.”
Principality, ArcelorMittal and Enagás advance decarbonization plans and arrival of green hydrogen
Principality, ArcelorMittal, and Enagás accelerate decarbonization and green hydrogen.
In order to accelerate the decarbonization work as well as the arrival of green hydrogen, representatives of the Government of the Principality of Asturias, ArcelorMittal, and Enagás participated in the thirteenth monthly coordination meeting in Oviedo.
UCT students spearhead green hydrogen research in South Africa
Green hydrogen is being studied by UCT students and utilised to provide cleaner fuels for cooking and aviation.
Green hydrogen is a clean fuel since it is made through an electrolysis method that uses renewable energy sources and produces no emissions. The Green-QUEST project, coordinated by Carla Mathyse and Candace Eslick, aims to develop a green cooking fuel for low-income homes in sub-Saharan Africa.
In order to create a greener liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that might displace coal, wood and garbage as a source of energy for private households, the project aims to use green hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
Many people’s quality of life would improve if LFG were used instead of solid fuels for indoor cooking and heating. This would also reduce the amount of time that is wasted going out to gather fuel sources like wood. If LFG were to replace fossil fuel-based LPG on a greater scale, it might help reduce carbon emissions and support South Africa’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
