The proof-of-concept system will aim to be used to validate Canadian-based Syntholene’s approach to hydrogen production for use in synthetic aviation fuels (e-SAF) and other e-fuels. Dynoelectro manufactures SOECs in 250kW, 1MW, and 5MW iterations, which it claims have a hydrogen output of up to 27kg/MWh and operate effectively at variable loads. The Danish firm’s technology will be used at the demonstration facility, which will use up 20MW of energy from a dedicated geothermal energy resource to produce the fuels. The SOEC system’s size has not been revealed. However, it will mark one of the first real-world deployments of Dynoelectro’s [...]

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) said its method of producing dimethyl ether (DME) could be a “game-changer” for hydrogen. DME is an organic compound, typically used as an aerosol propellant. It is primarily produced by dehydrating methanol or directly from syngas, both using catalysts. The Institute’s “Indigo” production process performs DME synthesis and distillation simultaneously, which it claims increases efficiency and reduces costs by a quarter compared to conventional synthesis. DME can either be steam reformed to recover hydrogen or used directly as a fuel or chemical feedstock. This would require green hydrogen to be combined with [...]

Thyssenkrupp Nucera plans cost savings and resource reallocation in its green hydrogen segment as orders and sales continue to fall. The German OEM reported a 21% drop in order intake to €75m ($89.4m) across both its green hydrogen and chlor-alkali businesses in Q1, while its order backlog fell to €489m ($582.7m) by the end of 2025 from €606m ($722m) just three months earlier. Net income also fell from €9m ($10.7m) to –€3m (–$3.6m). This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The agreement greenlights a key phase of feasibility studies for the plant, which would see the Morocco subsidiary of Taqa supply renewable energy components, and Spain’s Moeve lead e-fuels production and marketing. Planned for the Dakhla region, specific details of the plant, including its projected timeline, output capacity, and price tag, remain undisclosed. It falls under Morocco’s national hydrogen framework, known as the Morocco Offer, which allocates up to 30,000 hectares per project and targets the mobilisation of up to one million hectares for green hydrogen development. Morocco expects a demand of up to 30TWh by 2030 and 307TWh by [...]

It comes as the Commission considers introducing a suspension clause, unveiled last December, in the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The Article 27a tool would give Brussels the power to remove certain goods from the scheme if their inclusion caused “severe harm” to the EU market. In a letter to top Commission officials, the Hydrogen Council, Hydrogen Europe, Renewable Hydrogen Coalition, and others said the tool “undermines market confidence” and risks jeopardising investment in decarbonisation. CBAM, which covers hydrogen, electricity, fertilisers, aluminium, iron and steel, and cement, places a carbon price on goods imported into the EU. It was hoped [...]

The trio will research the feasibility of producing an ammonia-fuelled engine platform which can be scaled. Komatsu is a $43bn powerhouse in industrial equipment, operating bulldozers, dump trucks and excavators. It would mark the first utilisation of AFC’s technology for industrial heavy equipment. The firm has recently carved out a niche supplying its portable ammonia crackers and generators in the construction sector. The joint development agreement is subject to the delivery of “certain milestones” which have not been specified and the timeline for delivery is unclear. Taisuke Kusaba, Chief Technology Officer of Komatsu cited sustainability and business growth as the [...]

The project will be built as a fully integrated renewable powered platform. Plans include more than 2 GW of wind and solar capacity, battery storage, around 900 MW of electrolysers for green hydrogen production, and seawater desalination to supply process water. In its first phase, the facility is expected to produce about 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, which would be converted into approximately 560,000 tonnes of ammonia for domestic use and export markets. The ORNX consortium comprises Ortus of the US, Acciona of Spain, and Nordex of Germany. The partners said the project is designed to create a [...]

The EcoStruxure Foxboro Software Defined Automation (SDA) allows companies to modern their operations faster and reduce risk. The importance of open industrial systems was highlighted in Schneider Electric’s recent global research report with Omdia, which uncovered closed systems cost mid-sized industrial companies 7.5% of revenue through downtime, inefficiencies, and compliance retrofits every year. Hany Fouda, Senior Vice-President, Process Automation, Schneider Electric, said the new cyber-secure system marks a “defining moment” for industrial automation. Foxboro SDA decouples hardware from software and keeps data connected and consistent throughout the plant lifecycle, from design to production to maintenance. This enables automated workflows, better product [...]
