In California, ZeroAvia announced that it has developed an AI-driven, scalable smart microgrid optimization software which promises to minimize the cost of hydrogen production for clean aviation and other applications. The company noted that real-world testing of the Smart Hydrogen AI Production Software (SHAIPS) has shown in excess of a 20% reduction of the levelized […]
In Australia, Australia Manufacturing Forum reported that Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and GE Vernova have announced plans for two massive hydrogen projects in outback South Australia and the Northern Territory that would draw water from the atmosphere for electrolysis for conversion to hydrogen. The partners plan two 10MWH green hydrogen projects that are modular in […]
In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that Germany could import between 60 TWh and 100 TWh of green hydrogen annually via pipelines by the mid-2030s if the necessary infrastructure is developed in time, according to a recent study published by think tank Agora Energiewende. The report noted that hydrogen pipelines from the wind-rich North and Baltic […]
In Italy, Tecnimont Private Limited, the Indian subsidiary of Tecnimont and NEXTCHEM announced that the first green hydrogen production plant for Indian company Gail Limited was inaugurated at Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The facility will produce 4.3 tons per day of green hydrogen via 10 megawatt-based electrolyzers, making the state-owned gas utility Gail the first […]
In India, SolarQuarter reported that Dublin-based Phelan Green Energy is set to construct a green hydrogen plant in La Joya, in Peru’s Arequipa department. The plant, powered by a 1.8 GW solar facility, will have the capacity to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. The project represents a $2.3 billion investment, according to the […]
In Germany, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) said it opened the first test field for hydrogen-powered port logistics as well as the corresponding hydrogen refueling station in the Port of Hamburg. Together with its partner companies from the Clean Port & Logistics cluster, HHLA said it is testing the reliability of hydrogen to supply […]
In Norway, Scatec ASA, a renewable energy solutions provider, and its partners, ECHEM and MOPCO, have agreed on the terms for renewable ammonia offtake from Egypt with Yara Clean Ammonia, a large trader and distributor of ammonia. Last year, Scatec, the Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding Company (ECHEM) and Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) entered into a […]
In Germany, Reuters reported that Germany has agreed to form a climate and energy alliance with Morocco to support renewable energy expansion and hydrogen production in the African country. The report noted that Germany is seeking to expand its reliance on hydrogen as a future energy source to cut greenhouse emissions for highly polluting industrial […]
In Italy, Reuters reported that Italian gas grid operator Snam, steel pipe maker Tenaris and green technology firm Tenova are trialing the use of hydrogen fuel at a Tenaris steel plant in northern Italy in a bid to cut emissions. The trial to use hydrogen fuel in a reheating furnace at the plant in Dalmine, […]
In Germany, PV Magazine reported that three Fraunhofer institutes in Germany have developed an alternative to hydrogen production using electrolyzers in the Neo-PEC joint research project. “PEC” stands for “photoelectrochemical cell,” which is a cell that enables direct solar water splitting, according to the report. The solution from the research project, presented in June, consists […]
