Under a Memorandum of Understanding, Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology could produce hydrogen in Whyalla to replace natural gas in iron reduction and synthetic graphite for use in electric arc furnaces. M Resources argues it will be able to produce steel with much lower emissions and at a lower cost than using green hydrogen alone. However, Hazer’s selection as the preferred technology option will only apply if M Resources successfully purchases the steelworks. One Steel Manufacturing’s (OSM) facility is currently being offered for sale by its administrator, KordaMentha, through a process managed by 333 Capital. If the bid is approved, Hazer [...]

The UK electrolyser maker said the two projects had a combined capacity of 70MW. In Australia, ITM was handed a basic design engineering package contract by an “industrial customer”, while in Canada, it secured a front-end engineering design deal for a mobility-focused project. While details on the projects remain slim, it marks some of the first larger-scale projects outside of Europe and Asia in which the firm is involved. Last year, ITM secured compliance for its core stack technology in Australia. Throughout the past two years, the OEM has been racking up increased orders from European projects, along with some [...]

The German gas operator said it completed the initial filling of the section of pipeline that forms the “north-south axis” of the joint Flow project. H2 View understands this runs from Lubmin to Bobbau in Saxony-Anhalt. Rostock has been tipped as a potential key hydrogen import location for Germany, while Lubmin is set to host large-scale electrolyser installations. In its entirety, the Flow project will be made up of 1,630km of pipeline, connecting Rostock, Lubmin, Schwedt, Berlin, Leipzig, Leuna, Erfurt, Ludwigshafen, Karlsruhe, and Stuttgart. Work on sections connecting Germany’s east with the south west is expected to be completed by [...]

Marking the company’s first dedicated hydrogen ICE centre, it expands JM’s ability to test full hydrogen engines up to 600kW for trucks and buses. The engines run on hydrogen instead of diesel, but use familiar technology, making them a potential low-carbon alternative. The new JM facility allows them to evaluate how catalysts and after-treatment systems perform in real conditions. The Gothenburg factory also features on-site hydrogen supply and storage, high-pressure delivery systems, exhaust measurement equipment, and all required safety systems. JM said the site was completed on time and on budget, and represents a £2.5m ($3.3m) investment over three years. [...]

Having partnered with Sc.wén̓wen Economic Development and Kruger Kamloops Pulp, ECF intends to install an electrolyser at the site of Kruger’s Kamloops pulp mill. The up to four tonnes per day of hydrogen generated by the facility would replace around 16% of the mill’s natural gas use, which could cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 7,000 tonnes per year. Additionally, the 32 tonnes of oxygen produced through electrolysis daily would be reused in the mill’s operations to improve pulp processing and whitening, while reducing the use of “harsher chemicals”. Kruger acquired the Kamloops mill from Domtar in 2022. The facility [...]

The Letter of Intent was signed by Hynfra CEO Tomoho Umeda and Promet-Plast founder Andrzej Jeżewski to support projects in Egypt, Oman, Jordan and Mauritania. The partnership will apply Promet-Plast’s renewable, storage and hydrogen integration technologies across Hynfra’s 1.1 million tonne-per-year green ammonia developments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Promet-Plast has already demonstrated its approach at the Oława ECO Energy Cluster in Poland, one of the country’s most advanced integrated renewable–energy, storage, and hydrogen systems, and the testbed for its proprietary Agro-Hydro-Energy (AHE) platform. Designed for arid environments, the AHE system addresses the water scarcity and resource-management [...]

The system will be supplied by Bulgarian hydrogen technologies firm Hydrogenera, which will deliver and install the up to 90kW alkaline electrolyser, which will produce hydrogen and oxygen for injection into the burner. The company said the upgrade will improve combustion performance while maintaining the plant’s existing production set-up. VW Poznań is among the largest automotive factory employers in Poland and is the global production centre for the light commercial vehicle Volkswagen Caddy. In a statement, Hydrogenera said, “The project represents an important milestone in the development of the company and confirms its ability to meet the highest standards in [...]

Berlin has approved revisions to a law that will establish a legally binding demand driver for green hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels in mobility, implementing targets under the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III). The revision of the GHG-Quota supported by the federal cabinet raises emissions-reduction requirements for fuel suppliers, increasing the quota from 10.6% in 2025 to 59% in 2040. Critically for hydrogen, the reform introduces a specific requirement for fuel suppliers to use green hydrogen or other renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) to meet part of their compliance obligations. This is a paid article, to read the article [...]

The loan from AFDB’s Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa will support front-end engineering design studies for the 7.5GW of renewables, 3GW of electrolysis, and desalination infrastructure that will make up Hyphen Hydrogen Energy’s flagship project. Having already awarded FEED and EPC contracts to China National Chemical Engineering Company subsidiary CC7, Hyphen CEO Marco Raffinetti said the loan would support the $10bn project in reaching FID. “The African Development Bank’s approval of this pre-investment facility represents a strong vote of confidence in Hyphen’s project and in the broad ambitions of Namibia to develop one of the world’s most transformative green hydrogen projects,” [...]

The units will be tested at a Pertamina geothermal site in Kamojang, leveraging its low-cost, baseload power. The companies will use HyET’s proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis-based technologies (p-SOEC) to turn geothermal steam into green hydrogen, and single-step CO2 electrolysis to turn geothermal CO2 into carbon monoxide using renewable electricity. The hydrogen and CO2 can then be combined to make e-fuels such as e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF), which could be used in the aviation, shipping, and other hard-to-abate sectors. “Together, these technologies can enable cost-effective production of green hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and ultimately green synthetic fuel, positioning Indonesia as [...]
