ITM Power expects revenues from hydrogen molecule sales and services to eventually overtake its core electrolyser business in the long-term, as the company pushes ahead with its new Hydropulse subsidiary. CEO Dennis Schulz told H2 View that the new build-own-operate business would allow the ITM Group to follow a similar path to major industrial gas players.

The pilot, developed with HyLical by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and startup Magnotherm, may pave the way for large-scale industrial applications. Magnetic cooling technology represents a new type of climate-friendly and energy-efficient power, without compressors and environmentally harmful refrigerant gases. The magnetocaloric effect occurs when materials with certain properties – such as lanthanum-iron-silicon alloy (LaFeSi) – are placed in a magnetic field. The HyLICAL demonstrator is powered by a 19-tesla superconducting magnet embedded in the floor of HZDR’s High Magnetic Field Laboratory. In comparison, medical MRI machines typically use 1.5–3 tesla magnets. Depending on the orientation of the magnetic moments, the [...]

The Chilean-founded e-fuels developer has shifted plans for HIF Tasmania following engineering and site reviews. The former Pulp Mill site reportedly offers construction cost savings, port access for trade, and local resources such as recycled wastewater. “The move will bring new life to one of the region’s most significant industrial sites, returning long-term employment to the community while supporting Tasmania’s ambition to be a leader in renewable energy,” the company explained. Announced in 2022, the project is expected to produce over 200,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year once operational, supported by 280MW of electrolyser capacity. HIF plans to submit its [...]

Chilean clean energy developer Susterra will begin with a 20MW electrolyser in Antofagasta’s mining district, a $68m first phase set to scale to 100MW and eventually 200MW. Initially, the plant will produce nine tonnes of green hydrogen per day, before reaching 45 tonnes and 90 tonnes per day, respectively, bringing the total project cost to $423m. The hydrogen produced will be supplied to the local mining industry via tube trailers in a bid to decarbonise operations. The green hydrogen will substitute diesel in mining processes that are hard to electrify, such as ore haulage, refining, smelting and transport. Renewable energy [...]

The deal, which replaces a 2024 MoU, will see Baker Hughes provide compression technology, engineering services, and cost-modelling support for Provaris’ planned 450–2,000-tonne high-pressure tanks for carrier vessels and barges. Chief Technology Officer, Per Roed, said, “This collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver scalable, efficient hydrogen transport and storage solutions.” Provaris is developing a 450-tonne system based on a standard MR tanker to store hydrogen at 250 bar, a 2,000-tonne capacity system, and a 300–600-tonne storage barge. It argues high-pressure hydrogen systems will beat ammonia for hydrogen transportation on price and capital. According to its own Concept Design Study, Provaris [...]

However, the Indian renewables firm has not disclosed the volume of green ammonia to be supplied to Japan. “By supplying green ammonia, India is poised to become a global hub for green energy production,” Acme stated on LinkedIn. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed during the Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s visit to Japan. “This partnership aligns with [Acme’s] vision for a decarbonised world but also reinforces India’s commitment to its climate goals,” the company added. The deal follows Acme’s successful bids in India’s green ammonia auction series, which recently concluded. Acme Cleantech won three contracts to supply the [...]

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two organisations plan to combine Scotland’s offshore wind with AquaVentus’ offshore electrolysis expertise, linking export and import goals across the North Sea. The AquaDuctus pipeline is a planned offshore hydrogen link designed to carry green hydrogen through the North Sea, using a pipes and wires hybrid approach. The German consortium plans 10GW of offshore electrolysers in the North Sea, producing around one million tonnes of green hydrogen. The pipeline design allows offshore wind farms to deliver electricity when the grid needs it, or convert power into hydrogen via electrolysis and transport it through [...]

The Canadian firm has signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire the equipment already used by Quebec-based energy and fuels company Harnois Énergies. While precise details on the equipment in question remain unrevealed, Harnois has been producing and dispensing hydrogen at its Quebec City multi-energy station since 2019, featuring a Cummins Hystat alkaline electrolyser. Harnois had also partnered with Alstom and HTEC to supply hydrogen from the station to fuel North America’s first green hydrogen-powered train in 2023. Charbone said it will “repurpose” the equipment to “fast-track” the commissioning of the first phase of its flagship Sorel-Tracy green hydrogen plant [...]

The Erongo proof-of-concept facility targets an annual output of 18 tonnes of green hydrogen and 100 tonnes of green ammonia. The latter is used to produce fertiliser for over 400 tonnes of greenhouse-grown vegetables annually. Namibia and Sub-Saharan Africa face fertiliser shortages and high import costs, with farmers applying only about 15% of the fertiliser needed for healthy yields. The initiative aims to replace costly imports with affordable, locally produced green fertilisers. Backed by the Namibian and German governments, the “Net Zero village” splits borehole water with an electrolyser powered by local renewable power. A solar photovoltaic field has already [...]
