The demonstration uses Greenlyte’s fully electric, modular LiquidSolar system, which captures CO2, produces green hydrogen, converts both into syngas, and synthesises this into e-fuels such as synthetic natural gas, e-methanol, or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at “fossil-competitive costs.” As a proof-of-concept facility, the company expects to produce up to five tonnes of synthetic natural gas (SNG) whilst also capturing 40 tonnes of CO2 per year. Greenlyte says the plant went from engineering to inauguration in under 12 months, with final construction completed in less than three, supported by more than 13,000 hours of pilot operation. The German start-up added that [...]

ExxonMobil has paused plans for its giant blue hydrogen production plant in Texas, US, according to new reports. CEO Darren Woods reportedly told Reuters that the company has been struggling to secure sufficient offtake from the one billion cubic feet per day plant, which had been targeting start-up in 2027-2028. Unveiled in 2022, the project was intended to be developed within Exxon’s Baytown refining and chemicals complex to produce hydrogen from natural gas while capturing a high share of carbon dioxide emissions.

Set to be scaled in stages up to 1GW, the industrial plant is expected to produce 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year from 2029. Around 500km² has been allocated for the first phase, with the site expandable to 1,600km² on terrain that “offers the best solar and wind conditions” for renewable energy. Möhring will begin developing the plant with a smaller 100MW “fast-track” stage. The German energy and engineering group inked a strategic framework agreement to develop the Nayrah project with the Mauritanian government. The green ammonia produced in southern Mauritania will be [...]

The liquid hydrogen will be used to fuel NASA’s cryogenic rocket engines and support aeronautics and propulsion research at its centres in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Ohio. Worth a combined $147m, the contracts cover 16,560 tonnes of liquid hydrogen for Kennedy Space Centre, Cape Canaveral, Marshall, and Stennis, while Plug Power will supply the remaining 220 tonnes to the Glenn Research Centre and Armstrong Test Facility. NASA’s liquid hydrogen awards are fixed-price contracts that guarantee set quantities and prices for future deliveries. For its cryogenic rockets, the liquid hydrogen will be used with liquid oxygen as fuel. Liquid hydrogen’s ultra-cold [...]

The Marseille-Fos H2 facility can refuel all types of vehicles, from heavy-duty trucks to passenger cars, at pressures of 350 bar and 700 bar. The station builds on Teal Mobility’s network of facilities in France. By the end of 2025, it expects to be operating around 20 sites in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and the Netherlands. Hydrogen refuelling stations at the Paris West Station and in Remis are scheduled to come online soon. The opening of the Fos-sur-Mer station comes as Teal Mobility and other European operators have tabled calls for faster hydrogen vehicle deployment. The partners established the Hydrogen [...]

Located in the Niigata Prefecture at Kashiwazaki City, the facility features a blue hydrogen production plant coupled with a carbon capture system, an ammonia conversion plant, and carbon storage at the depleted Hirai gas field. The blue hydrogen will be used to generate electricity through the Kashiwazaki hydrogen power plant, which is then sent through the local grid to homes and businesses in the region. A portion of that hydrogen will be used to fuel the ammonia synthesis unit. Once the ammonia is produced, INPEX will supply it locally under a “local production for local consumption” model. As a demonstration [...]

That warning comes from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), which says recent revisions by the Department of Energy (DOE) to its 45V hydrogen emissions model could allow projects to report methane pollution far below real-world levels and still qualify for subsidies. Under Section 45V of the Inflation Reduction Act, projects can claim up to $3/kg of hydrogen, with credit levels tied to carbon intensity calculated through a dedicated lifecycle emissions model. Early estimates suggested only renewable-powered electrolytic hydrogen would qualify for the full $3/kg credit, while fossil-based pathways with carbon capture would receive closer to $1/kg. However, the climate group [...]

CDT intends to adopt a build-own-operate business model for plants using high-temperature pyrolysis and gasification technology to take solid organic waste and turn it into syngas and hydrogen. H2 View understands waste is converted into syngas in an oxygen-free reactor operating at 700–900ºC. Syngas produced by the company’s plants will either be combusted to supply industrial steam or purified into hydrogen for industrial or fuel cell applications. “The distinctive feature of our technical solution is that it provides multiple potential commercialisation pathways for the same syngas stream,” said CDT CEO Li Yunwu. “This flexibility enables us to optimise project configurations [...]

Under a Development Agreement, the partners will collaborate on a Concept Study to assess the technical and economic feasibility of how HiiRoc can act as the hydrogen producer for the pipeline project. At EMP’s site in Nottingham, the firm plans to produce up to three tonnes of turquoise hydrogen per day, with plans to scale up to 50 tonnes if the wider consortium plan is realised. That hydrogen would then be injected into or stored within the pipeline network, which is set to connect producers and consumers in Nottingham and Birmingham. The agreement with HiiRoc also supports the EMP consortium’s [...]

The Low-Carbon Fuels Delegated Act sets rules on how hydrogen can be classified as “low-carbon,” covering production pathways like natural gas reforming with carbon capture, non-exclusively renewable-powered electrolysers, and methane pyrolysis. The rules require producers to demonstrate at least 70% fewer emissions than fossil fuels – equating to 28.2gCO2eq/MJ – through a methodology for full lifecycle emissions. This includes upstream methane emissions and actual carbon capture rates. It comes after the European Parliament voted not to object to the rules originally proposed by the European Commission, after assurances were offered by Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen. They included confirmation of grandfathering provisions, [...]
