While the tone was largely equable for the first hour and 11 minutes, the mood changed when Senator Alex Padilla from California began questioning the CEO of Liberty Energy. He put Wright on the spot about social media comments relating to climate change as ‘hype’, at a time when Los Angeles struggles to come to terms with widespread destruction from the wildfires. “Tell that to the families of the more than two dozen lost,” he said. While Wright was mindful not to repeat the word, he said he stood by his past comments – which seemed to jar with earlier comments [...]

The government today (January 16) opened a 12-week consultation for the Gas Shipper Obligation (GSO) that would be used to fund its so-called hydrogen levy. As passed in October 2023, “gas shippers” – which are defined as a company that buys gas from producers, trades gas on wholesale markets and sells it to gas suppliers – would bear the brunt of the hydrogen levy to fund market ramp-up.

Through HSBC Equipment Finance, Hygen will receive backing in the form of asset finance lent to advance its facility at the Tyseley Energy Park (TEP) and develop additional sites across the UK. From its refuelling unit at the Tyseley site, Hygen supplies hydrogen to major customers such as National Express and JCB for their decarbonisation initiatives. “HSBC UK’s confidence in our business, and the potential of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source, is truly encouraging,” explained Kevin Selleslags, Hygen CEO. “Securing bank funding also sends an important signal to the market about the opportunities for this technology.” Representing HSBC UK’s [...]

H2 View understands that the grants will fund 49 projects implementing more than 11,500 EV charging ports and hydrogen and natural gas fuelling infrastructure along corridors. They will span 27 States, four federally recognised tribes and the District of Columbia. The build-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure will support the nation’s goal of deploying zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles to reduce diesel emissions. Commenting on the grants, Gabe Klein, Executive Director of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, said, “Today’s investments supplement a combination of federal tax incentives, state and local funding, and private investment to fill gaps in the [...]

The factory in Pune, Maharastra, will produce megawatt-scale transformers and rectifiers based on insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), silicon carbide (SiC) and thyristor technologies. Transformers and rectifiers are essential components in electrolyser systems. Transformers convert high-voltage AC supply into lower-voltage AC to meet system requirements. Rectifiers convert the transformer’s AC output into DC. The new Yonder Hub, named under Ador’s Yonder H2 brand, is primarily aimed at meeting demand in Europe, as well as India’s own renewable energy targets.

Working with Baker Hughes, the gas major deployed UK-based Levidian’s LOOP technology with the capacity to produce over one tonne of graphene per year and a further tonne of hydrogen annually. The pilot deployment also collected data to further refine and develop AI modelling and digital twins to reduce energy consumption and maximise graphene output for future installations. Graphene produced by the pilot plant will be evaluated and used by ADNOC’s technology team to explore applications. Mohamed Al Hasemi, Chief Operation Officer of ADNOC Gas, said, “By transforming methane into valuable graphene and clean hydrogen, we are unlocking new value [...]

EET Hydrogen’s HPP1 project, located at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, will reportedly have a production capacity of 350MW and capture around 600,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. As a global engineering and construction firm, the Istanbul-based ENKA has constructed some of the UK’s flagship industrial projects, such as Hinkley Point Power Plant in Somerset and Shotton Mill Paper Mill Factory in Flintshire. “We bring expertise, engineered solutions and a commitment to excellence to every project we undertake,” claimed Hakan Kozan, Member of the Executive Committee at ENKA. “This project reinforces our commitment to supporting the HyNet Cluster’s [...]

Germany’s political churn continues to see the incumbent government’s hydrogen ambitions called into question. Despite the long-term commitment to hydrogen as a key tool to decarbonise while retaining the nation’s industrial strength, an imminent change in administration has put that under threat.

The company plans to bolster the production of cell frames and membranes for alkaline electrolysers at its plant in Kawasaki. It comes as part of Asahi Kasei’s previously announced plans to build the 2GW plant by 2026 – adding to its 1GW of chlor-alkali ion-exchange membrane production. Expected to spend around ¥35bn ($224m) on the development, the company says it expects to receive a subsidy of up to ¥11.4bn for the plant. The company aims to use experience across both its hydrogen and chlor-alkali electrolysis businesses to respond to “the uncertain expansion of the hydrogen market and the growing demand [...]
