H2-View News: Europe Clean Industrial Deal to launch in February
Speaking at Davos, Wopke Hoekstra, Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth, European Commission, said a major challenge is bridging climate action with competitiveness. “One of the key things we need to do is further enhance our competitiveness and make sure that decarbonisation is a growth strategy,” he said. “So that means focusing on two sectors. Firstly, heavy industry and difficult-to-abate, which is pivotal to the success of our continent, and as important, are the ‘new kids on the block’, the tech companies that have huge demand and are in dire need of shorter permitting periods and way less [...]
H2-View News: Levidian targets UAE flare gas for second hydrogen and graphene pilot plant
Dana Gas this week revealed it had made an undisclosed investment into the British tech firm and had been working to deploy its LOOP technology across its field operations. The LOOP technology uses electromagnetic waves to ionise methane into plasma to separate hydrogen and carbon in the form of graphene. Since September, the pair have been finalising the engineering and design of a pilot plant that could be deployed into Dana Gas’ operations later this year. Expected to be able to produce 1.5 tonnes of graphene per year, it is hoped the pilot plant will pave the way for the [...]
H2-View News: MIT taps natural hydrogen to redefine ammonia production
The team says the Earth’s naturally occurring heat and pressure could act as a “geochemical reactor” to produce large volumes of the hydrogen compound. The team found water – which carries a source of nitrogen and particles of metal catalyst – injected underground into areas of iron-rich subsurface rock reacted to produce hydrogen. That hydrogen then reacts with the nitrogen embedded in the water to make ammonia. Using a second well, the team says it could be able to pump the ammonia up to the surface. “We call this geological ammonia,” said MIT Professor of Material Science and Engineering, Iwnetim [...]
H2-View News: ECO2Fuel’s electrolyser turns CO2 into green fuels without hydrogen
The process combines CO2 and water in an electrolyser using renewable energy sources to trigger an electrochemical reaction to produce valuable fuels and chemicals, without the use of hydrogen. The German start-up assembled the stack at an electrolyser testing VITO site in Belgium and their next aim is to test it at a 1MW scale at an RWE site in Germany. They expect to do this by 2026, and the team are currently conducting extensive testing to ensure the system’s efficiency. Stack prototype © ECO2Fuel ECO2Fuel, funded by the EU under the Horizon Europe programme, has said the electrolyser improves [...]
H2-View News: MOUs handed out like confetti in the hydrogen market: Eternal Power
A €2.3bn ($2.4bn) non-binding offtake agreement highlights robust demand for Eternal Power’s hydrogen production, according to its Managing Director, who emphasised its significance compared to Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs). Last October, Eternal Power announced it would provide hydrogen to an unnamed offtaker in Germany from its production plant in Dummerstorf. The project is expected to become operational in 2028 and produce 9,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year.
H2-View News: Verdagy to deliver 320MW of electrolyser capacity for SAF and e-methanol production
The electrolyser manufacturer has entered into a strategic partnership with Petron Scientech, a company with more than 35 years of experience in renewable sustainable chemical process technologies. The New Jersey, US-based company also has offices in Portugal and India and plans to set up R&D hubs in the UAE and Japan. Petron wants to scale its production capacities to multiple gigawatts, however, it has not publicly disclosed how many live plants it has to date. The press statement released by Verdagy has not revealed when or where the electrolyser modules will be sent. “Petron is developing several sustainability-focused, low carbon [...]
H2-View News: Hydrogen key to industrial clusters growth
First launched at COP26 in 2021, and developed in collaboration with Accenture and EPRI, the Transitioning Industrial Cluster initiative now comprises 33 clusters in 16 countries. The 13 new members are: Kerala Green Hydrogen Valley (India): This zone in Kerala is central to India’s decarbonisation efforts by scaling hydrogen-powered transport. Cartagena Industrial Cluster (Colombia): Connected to the largest port-based industrial zone, this industrial cluster is uniquely positioned to become a strategic hub for the production, storage, distribution, shipping and use of clean hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. Gopalpur Industrial Park (India): Strategically located, the industrial park provides an exemplary ecosystem to [...]
H2-View News: Boeing backs Norsk e-Fuel’s hydrogen-based SAF plans
The aircraft giant hopes its investment will support the scaling of SAF production to meet EU mandates while also informing policy decisions to enable “the economic viability of the global SAF industry. Norsk e-Fuel currently has four e-fuel plants planned for the Nordics. The most advanced development, Project Mosjøen in Nesbruket, Norway, plans to produce 50 million litres of e-Crude and is currently in its basic engineering stage. The company will use a Power-to-Liquid (PtL) process to convert green hydrogen and recycled CO2 into SAF. “Our support of and collaboration with Norsk e-Fuel underscores the importance of using fossil-free energy [...]
H2-View News: Liquid Wind, TSE eye 100,000-tonne hydrogen-based e-methanol plant in Finland
The pair today (January 22) announced the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore building the plant next to TSE’s existing Naantali 4 power plant. Under initial plans, the pair intend to use biogenic CO2 and steam from the TSE power plant for e-methanol production in combination with green hydrogen. The plant’s process and waste heat could also be used for district heat. Eyeing a final investment decision (FID) for 2026, the companies expect to start production in 2029 to deliver e-methanol for industries such as shipping. “Locally, in the city of Naantali, we will focus on [...]
