Chinese state-owned oil and gas firm Sinopec has awarded tenders to three domestic electrolyser makers to supply technology for its planned 240MW green hydrogen project in Inner Mongolia. Longi, Sany, and Huadian Group will supply stacks to Zhongtian Hechuang Energy (ZHE) for its Uxin Banner Integrated Wind-Solar-Hydrogen Production Project, which aims to produce up to 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The project plans to supply existing coal-to-olefins and methanol production. This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or subscribe today.

The major Indian conglomerate will produce green hydrogen, which will be used to power a nearby direct reduced iron (DRI) plant operated by JSW Steel. The pilot phase is expected to produce 3,800 tonnes of green hydrogen, with reports suggesting it could be the largest green hydrogen deployment for steelmaking anywhere in the world. The project has been backed through the government’s Production Linked Incentive Scheme, Tranche I of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission. The Indian government is pushing to accelerate green hydrogen use in industrial sectors such as steel. Last year, it launched a Rs. 455 crore ($54m) auction [...]

UK gas storage firm EnergyPathways said it had started design work with Australian methane pyrolysis firm Hazer Group and its EPC partner KBR for a plant that will produce hydrogen from natural gas, while generating solid carbon rather than carbon dioxide. The project could be built as part of EnergyPathways’ planned Marram Energy Storage Hub (MESH), which aims to store up to 50 billion cubic feet of natural gas and hydrogen 18km off the Lancashire coast. Under an agreement signed in July, Hazer’s plant could produce up to 20,000 tonnes of turquoise hydrogen per year from natural gas and unprocessed [...]

The 450MW flexible generation gas engine plant, which is currently under construction, will help stabilise the UK electricity grid. It will also be co-located with a 300MW battery energy storage system (BESS) to provide instant response to grid fluctuations. While the plant will operate primarily on pipeline gas, it can run on a variety of fuel blends, including biomethane and hydrogen. The Jenbacher J624 gas engines can reportedly start up in under five minutes, meaning the facility can rapidly generate power when renewable output drops. The scalable design enables operation from 2.25MW up to the full 450MW capacity. Ben Wilson, [...]

Located in St. James Parish, Louisiana, the $8bn plant is expected to produce 200 million gallons of hydrogen-based jet fuel per year. Samsung is scheduled to begin front-end engineering and design (FEED) before the end of 2025, and will collaborate with Black & Veatch, the contractor and overall system integrator for the project. DG Fuels plans to take a final investment decision (FID) on the facility by Q3 2026. Blue and green hydrogen, produced from natural gas with carbon capture and electrolysis, respectively, will supply a low-carbon hydrogen feedstock to support SAF production. The SAF will also draw on waste [...]

The development of the still-nascent opportunity in green hydrogen needs a boost in the year ahead to begin to realise its potential more speedily. That assessment was made by Murray Douglas, an analyst for Wood Mackenzie, in his presentation that launched the group’s Hydrogen Conference 2025 in London. The Vice-President for Hydrogen and Derivatives Research said policy headwinds were still holding hydrogen back, meaning that opportunities in legacy sectors with established hydrogen needs offered the clearest investment case today.

The Low-Emission Ammonia Fertilizer (LEAF) initiative, backed by the Hydrogen Council, United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and others, builds off a Public-Private Action Statement to reduce costs and build demand for cleaner nitrogen-based fertilisers. Current nitrogen fertiliser production accounts for around 1% of global emissions, with the majority of carbon dioxide stemming from hydrogen generation by steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas. In a report prepared by the Hydrogen Council, over 80% of that CO2 footprint could be abated with technologies that already exist. This suggests a focus on retrofitting existing SMR units [...]

At Quest’s gigawatt-scale PEM electrolyser hub in Hamburg, a tube trailer will redistribute hydrogen generated during R&D and end-of-line testing. Under a Joint Customer Solution agreement, the partners aim to “enable end-to-end hydrogen supply,” to connect production with industrial and mobility users across Europe. “Every day, our tube trailers are delivering hydrogen to our customers across Germany and the rest of Europe,” explained Leander Hoffmann, Managing Director at Ryze Power Germany. “This is not a concept, or a trial, but a reality for businesses across the country who cannot electrify their operations and want to decarbonise with renewable fuels. The [...]

Chevron’s news energy lead says scaling green hydrogen in the US today demand perfect conditions, as uneven policy and tightening incentives make replication of the company’s green hydrogen energy storage project difficult. Robert Nunmaker, who is General Manager, Commercial & Sales at Chevron New Energies, was speaking in an interview at Wood Mackenzie’s Hydrogen Conference 2025 in London. “In our case, we have our ACES Delta project in Utah, which we are working on with partners as the majority stakeholder.” This is a paid article, to read the article in full you can sign in if you are subscribed or [...]
