In Belgium, Power to Hydrogen (P2H2), a developer of anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer systems, announced it has delivered and begun installation of a first-of-a-kind half-megawatt AEM electrolyzer at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. The project is the world’s first to utilize 250-kilowatt AEM electrolyzer stacks and, once commissioned, will be the first AEM […]
In Spain, Review Energy reported Italy’s Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) is implementing a new national support mechanism for renewable hydrogen and biohydrogen production, with annual spending capped at $461 million and incentives covering up to 200,000 tons of annual production capacity. The measure is part of Italy and the European Union’s policies […]
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that India’s green hydrogen strategy is beginning to move from production targets into firm industrial demand, with state-owned refiners now securing around 30,000 tons of renewable hydrogen supply annually. Under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, 20,000 tons per year of production and supply capacity was initially awarded for […]
This week, Again announced the acquisition of Genomatica, uniting Again’s cutting-edge biomanufacturing scale-up capabilities with Geno’s world-class AI discovery and design platform. So, Rome bought Greece. That is one way to think about Again’s acquisition of Genomatica, announced this week, bringing together one of industrial biotechnology’s most ambitious new scale-up companies with one of its […]
In Spain, global marine fuel supplier Peninsula is using its first bioLNG delivery at the Port of Cadiz to make a broader case for the fuel as an immediately available way for LNG fueled ships to cut emissions and meet tightening maritime rules.
