Up to AUD $920,000 ($601,505) will be awarded to the AusHETS project, received by AHC’s registered business, Hydrogen Mobility Australia. It is designed to provide advice and support to start-ups and SMEs participating in the Industry Growth Program. The Australian Government’s Minister for Industry and Science, the Hon Ed Husic MP, awarded the funding to the AusHETs project with Cicada Innovations, as part of the Department of Industry, Science and Resources’ (DISR) Industry Partner Organisation (IPO). By supporting the transition of the country’s Hydrogen Equipment, Technology and Services (HETS) sector, AusHETS aims to strengthen Australia’s position as a leader in [...]

The financing was led by an equity investment by UG Investments and grant financing from the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI), in addition to other investors and grants. The funding is designed to support the development of Stargate’s “reliable and robust” alkaline technology which boasts new catalyst material – expected to be much more active when compared with alternatives currently available on the market. Alongside the funding, Stargate has appointed Skeleton Technologies Founder and CEO, Taavi Madiberk as its Non-Executive Chairman. Commenting on his appointment, Madiberk said, “When I first met with the CTO, Dr. Rainer Küngas, I [...]

Californian-headquartered Thiozen said its in-field chemical cycle pilot unit successfully removed hydrogen sulphide from sour natural gas streams while also generating “zero-emission” hydrogen. For the trial, the start-up partnered with oil and gas production firm A.C.T. Operating Company to install the technology at a gas-gathering site in the Permian Basin. Sour gas is natural gas with measurable levels of hydrogen sulphide. Highly toxic and extremely flammable, it is typically found in oil and gas formations, requiring processing to separate it into usable elements. Marshall Watson, President of A.C.T and Department Chair of Petroleum Engineering at Texas Tech University, said sour [...]

The German chemical giant said in a statement there was a hydrogen leak with “brief ignition” in a plant in the north part of the BASF SE factory. “The BASF factory fire department was on duty and stopped the product leak,” the BASF statement said. “The turbo extinguisher was used for a short time.” While the cause of the leak and ignition are still yet to be determined, BASF said there were no injuries. The plant was shut down with excess gases burned using the flare. H2 View has reached out to BASF for more information. BASF said its environmental [...]

Under a contract signed with CF Industries, Topsoe will license its SynCOR Ammonia™ to combine with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to enable the production of ammonia. The SynCOR tech is expected to perform ammonia production and cost-efficient carbon capture, understood to be the preferred technology for mega-scale ammonia production due to its maturity and low capital and operating costs. The “world’s largest” ammonia producer, CF Industries, will evaluate the project in collaboration with Mitsui & Co. If they decide to further advance the project, ammonia will be used as a decarbonised energy source. “We believe low-carbon ammonia helps unlock [...]

Linde today (May 1) announced it would invest $150m to build, own and operate an ASU at the site of H2 Green Steel’s Boden green steel plant in northern Sweden to supply oxygen, nitrogen and argon. The ASU is expected to start up by 2026 and also supply gases to existing and new customers. Currently under construction, the Boden steel plant will produce five million tonnes of steel per year by 2030, with a 95% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared to traditional steelmaking. H2 Green Steel will use green hydrogen produced onsite from a 700MW electrolyser installation in [...]

Following certification of its EX425D – a 1MW PEM electrolyser capable of producing 425kg of green hydrogen per day – Plug can commercially sell electrolyser systems in the Korean market. As part of the certification process, the Korean Gas Safety (KGS) Corporation approved Plug’s Rochester Gigafactory in the US for electrolyser stack production, along with Plug partner Alpha ECC’s manufacturing facility in Vietnam for system production and assembly. KGS awarded the Standard AH271 for Facility/Technical/Inspection Code for Manufacture of Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Generator to Plug Power. It is understood the achievement was accomplished via Plug’s collaboration with SK E&S, the [...]

Starting today (May 1), 54 million won ($38,947) on average will be paid out to each station, designed to promote private participation in the hydrogen refuelling industry, support fuel purchase costs and improve operating conditions. The Korean Ministry of Environment has allocated the funding, whilst the subsidy operator Korea Automobile Environment Association disclosed the businesses that wanted to receive support for fuel purchase costs for hydrogen. The Association introduced the programme in 2021 to promote the stable operation of hydrogen refuelling stations and advance the economy. The subsidy is paid twice a year to private operators meeting the payment conditions [...]

BWR Innovations revealed it had signed a two-year subcontract to develop a hydrogen fuel cell microgrid (H2MG) that could be replicated by the US Department of Defence. The H2MG project will see gaseous and liquid hydrogen production, storage and utilisation technologies integrated into an existing 1.5MW solar microgrid system at the Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickman (JBPHH) in Hawaii. Having been in operation since 2016, the Pacific Energy Assurance Renewables Laboratory (PEARL) microgrid has been demonstrating how military facilities can meet energy needs, mission assurance and cyber security. Now, by introducing hydrogen, the research, development, testing and evaluation effort will [...]
