The South Korean-based marine technology company will provide a fuel cell system built from six of its 2MW 2.0 modules. The system is expected to power the LR2 tanker’s propulsion, cargo handling, and onboard energy systems. The technology supply agreement comes shortly after Bureau Veritas awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) to MISC Berhad (MISC) and Samsung Heavy Industries for its ammonia-powered vessel design. “By leading the integration of PEM fuel cell systems into the world’s first ammonia-fuelled vessel concept, Vinssen is setting new benchmarks for clean propulsion in commercial shipping,” explained Chilhan Lee, Vinssen CEO. Vinssen said the project [...]

Under the Expression of Interest (EoI), developers are invited to propose projects for the Pudimadaka hub. NGEL will consider arrangements for land sub-lease, water supply, green hydrogen, and biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). The green energy arm of India’s largest power generator, NTPC Limited, aims to produce 2.5 million tonnes per year of hydrogen-based chemicals, such as ammonia, methanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and green urea. To enable production at this scale, the hub will include 7.5 GW of supporting electrical infrastructure with GIS substations and transmission lines, alongside desalination, logistics, storage, port, utility, and common facilities. The hub’s renewable power supply [...]

The company said its Series B round was oversubscribed, with investor demand exceeding the shares available. New backers included Orlen VC, Safran Corporate Ventures, International Airlines Group (IAG), Hostplus, and TCVC. They joined existing investors Clean Energy Ventures, IP Group/Kiko Ventures, Aramco Ventures, Eni Next, Braavos Capital, and the University of Oxford in the funding round. “The new capital will enable Oxccu to accelerate its commercialisation efforts, expand its operations, and advance its next phase of technology scale-up,” the company stated. Andrew Symes, CEO of OXCCU, explained, “In a market where capital is tight and investors are rightly selective, the [...]

Sinopec has reportedly connected existing regional hydrogen routes between Shanghai and Wuhan, where it says it operates 146 refuelling stations and 11 supply centres. For comparison, there are 156 hydrogen stations open across Europe, according to H2Live. The vehicles departed the Qingwei Integrated Energy Station in Shanghai and travelled upstream along the Yangtze River, passing through Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei, before arriving at the Zhijiang Service Area. Sinopec has framed the corridor as part of its Hydrogen Highway plan, developed in collaboration with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). “To further integrate hydrogen mobility across eastern and [...]

As Plug Power aims to build out its own production, the US company will continue to buy hydrogen at higher costs to ensure an uninterrupted supply for its material handling business. While it may limit short-term profit potential, Vice President of Product and Technology Luke Wentlent described the strategy as one of “risk management.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The agreement for the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport (ICFGF) – a memorandum of understanding at this stage – was signed between the UK and Scottish governments, and the Highland Council and marked the end of a five-year planning process. The large-scale, long-term project aims to create 11,300 jobs and capitalise on Scotland’s renewables potential, including green hydrogen and other low-carbon industries. The appeal of green freeports is that normal tax and custom rules do not apply in full. Leader of The Highland Council, Councillor Raymond Bremner, said, “Today is a landmark moment for the Highlands, Scotland, and the [...]

After submitting its Development Consent Order (DCO) for Keadby Next Generation last August, the plans have now been accepted for examination by the government’s Planning Inspectorate. Following consultation with local authorities, communities and stakeholders, an examination process will now begin in the Humber estuary. The final decision on the project will sit with the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband. SSE claimed it’s the first time a UK power station designed to run on hydrogen and natural gas has reached this stage in the DCO process. From 2030, the plant will operate on a blend [...]

The energy engineering firm claimed optimising the existing production base was as critical as building new capacity, with today’s hydrogen capacity accounting for 2.5% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and demand set to grow. In the Re-inventing Affordable Low-Carbon Hydrogen whitepaper, hosted on h2-view.com, Technip said process intensification, hydrogen firing, and carbon capture retrofits could future-proof existing assets. The measures are expected to cut emissions, improve efficiency and unlock additional output. Process intensification focuses on squeezing more hydrogen from the same feedstock while cutting CO2 intensity, delivering up to “30% additional hydrogen capacity” or “20% lower emissions.” Hydrogen firing [...]

Ceres is launching a new strategy to focus on natural gas-fuelled solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for stationary power markets, with green hydrogen production viewed as a long-term play. Unveiled during the UK technology licensor’s H1 interim results, the plan aims to reduce operating expenses, with the firm’s product line consolidated around a new generation stack to serve both fuel cells and electrolysis. It also comes off the back of its first licensee launching mass SOFC manufacturing capacity, and the growing need for clean power solutions.

Representing the first hydrogen production test at a thermal power station in Japan, the companies aim to achieve world-leading electrolysis efficiency using Denso’s heat management technology. By using the plant’s waste heat as part of the energy input, SOECs can achieve efficiencies of around 80%, consuming less electricity than PEM or alkaline electrolysers. Based on the demonstration results, Jera, Japan’s largest power producer, plans to move up to multi-megawatt systems as it targets practical application. “To achieve Net Zero CO2 emissions from domestic and international operations, Jera is building a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain and pursuing the development of [...]
