Located at Japan’s largest power-to-gas plant in Yamanashi Prefecture, the trial involves replacing part of the site’s heat energy with hydrogen using newly developed high-efficiency, low-NOx hydrogen boilers. The 16MW facility will explore how hydrogen can substitute natural gas in beverage production, a model with implications for decarbonising food and drink manufacturing globally. The trial also involves Suntory Hakushu Distillery. If operating round-the-clock, hydrogen production would total 2,200 tonnes annually. “From now until the end of 2026, we will demonstrate how this system procures power from renewable energies to produce green hydrogen that is in turn used for steam production,” [...]

Hydrogen producers, industrial users, and traders will soon be able to secure slots in the future hydrogen pipeline network, which is currently being constructed. The move is expected to give developers and industrial offtakers greater planning certainty ahead of the network’s phased rollout. Companies will be able to make binding bookings for entry and exit points on the grid, which will later convert into firm capacity contracts once the network is operational. “Through the reservation concept, the network operators are providing a significant boost for the development of cross-border hydrogen transport,” a joint statement from the TSOs said. “With the [...]

The planned distribution network is expected to connect hydrogen production in the Humber and north Nottinghamshire to major industrial users in the East Midlands. Cadent’s latest route announcement includes HyMarnham Power’s 15MW facility, located at a former coal-fired power station. Due online in November, the project will receive revenue subsidies under the government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 scheme. The gas distribution network operator said the proposed 140km purpose-built pipeline offers potential for “significant growth” in hydrogen production at the JG Pears-GeoPura joint project. “The site has the capability to grow at scale from a 15MW hydrogen production plant to over [...]

Located in Ulanqab, the first phase of the plant is expected to produce at least 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, which will be stored and potentially liquefied on-site for distribution. China Coal Green Energy will invest in and construct the renewable power and hydrogen generation systems. The subsidiary was established by the state-owned National Coal Group to “support the dual-carbon strategy.” The preliminary agreement marks the group’s entry into renewable-powered hydrogen through its subsidiary. Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy Equipment (GuoFuHEE) will supply key equipment, including electrolysers, and manage hydrogen sales from the plant. A hydrogen liquefaction unit will [...]

Located at the Leuna Chemical Complex, the plant is expected to produce 2,500 tonnes of e-fuels per year, mainly e-kerosene, once it’s operational in Q4 2027. Specifically, Topsoe’s eREACT and hydro processing technologies will produce low-carbon hydrogen and syngas from renewable feedstocks. Meanwhile, Sasol will contribute its low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch technology, which converts syngas into liquid hydrocarbons. The two companies act together as one technology licensor for the technologies. The model builds on the joint venture they established in 2023, designed to advance commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. Sasol’s Sarushen Pillay said, “[The project] will be an important step in [...]

Ballard Power Systems has halted new hydrogen fuel cell investments in China as Beijing turns to domestic suppliers to meet demand, its new CEO said. Marty Neese told H2 View despite the early success Ballard had found in its fuel cell making joint venture (JV) with Weichai Power, it was “less clear” whether the Canadian company could meet Chinese demand.

Together, Brookfield and Bloom plan to design and build AI data centres using hydrogen-capable fuel cells to provide power in a bid to avoid grid constraints while reducing emissions. Backed by a $5bn investment from Brookfield, the pair intend to deploy the solutions globally. The first of these plant sites is expected to be announced in Europe before the end of 2025. The IEA estimates electricity demand from data centres could double by 2030 to 945TWh, which has raised concerns about grid connections and the increased use of fossil fuels in grids to supplement demand. However, Brookfield’s Global Head of [...]

The Canadian clean energy firm announced the acquisition today (October 15), stating that its approach will be “simpler, cleaner, more reliable, and more resilient” than Recyclage Carbone Varennes’ (RCV) original biomass gasification process. The Québec project is expected to produce around 72,000 tonnes per year, and is scheduled to begin operations in 2028. It will also capture over 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The acquisition follows a court-approved process involving RCV. StormFisher will repurpose the site into North America’s “first” large-scale low-carbon methanol facility. “We have long wanted to establish ourselves in Québec, and we are delighted to have found [...]
