The THera™ Seal features materials technology designed for hydrogen applications, providing “robustness and versatility, guaranteeing exceptional gas saleability for high-pressure hydrogen applications.” The system leverages Tenaris’ expertise in metal-to-metal connections for extreme weather conditions, whilst also introducing an innovation that enables seamless integration between the vessel and sealing system. Maurizio Bellingardi, Senior Product Manager of Hydrogen Technology Industrial Applications at Tenaris, said, “The new sealing system offers many benefits, including a simplified assembly process, extended lifespan, compatibility with hydrogen, and suitability for fast decompression rates.” Speaking to H2 View last year (2023), Michele Sileo, Tenaris Sales Senior Manager Gas Cylinders, [...]

The loan guarantee is hoped to lower the risk of potential financers as Plug looks to add to develop, construct and own up to six US green hydrogen production facilities. Plug has said facilities will be selected for financing in line with procedures set out with the DOE. It comes as the company which has brought several US liquid green hydrogen plants up to nameplate capacity this year strives to secure its financial position, after its latest quarterly report highlighted almost $300m in losses. Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, said the loan guarantee will prove “instrumental” to grow not [...]

Designed as an answer the US’ Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive will see AUD $6.7bn offered in tax credits to hydrogen producers per kilogramme based on the cost of production. This is expected to be introduced from 2027 to 2028. In addition, a further AUD $1.3bn ($859m) has been added to allow for another round of the Hydrogen Headstart programme, designed to support “early movers to invest in the industry’s development.” Under the “Future Made in Australia” package, AUD $1.7bn ($1.1bn) will be provided to promote Net Zero innovation, such as green metals and low carbon [...]

Located in the Hauts-de-France region, the project will require €1.3bn ($1.4bn) CAPEX investment to ensure it begins operation by 2030, with construction kickstarting in 2027. The production process will see renewable and low-carbon electricity used to produce hydrogen, which is anticipated to produce up to 500,000 tonnes of low carbon, nitrogen-based fertiliser per year – 10% of France’s agricultural sector’s consumption. The French Government is expected to provide support to enable operations, after the announcement was made during the Choose France Summit on May 13, hosted by Emmanuel Macron, President of France. “Running on renewable and low carbon electricity, this [...]

Hazer has signed a binding project development agreement (PDA) with FortisBC Energy to pursue the development of a hydrogen production facility in British Columbia that will utilise the pyrolysis technology to produce up to 2,500 tonnes of hydrogen and around 9,500 tonnes of graphite per year. Utilising its Hazer® process, the company’s technology uses natural gas and unprocessed iron as a feedstock to deliver hydrogen and graphite products. It comes after the firm that produced its first molecules of hydrogen in February (2024) has now said it reached 100 hours of operation from its pilot site in Perth, Australia. Read [...]

After receiving €3.4m ($3.6m) in funding from the French Government as part of the programme France 2030, operated by ADEME, the HyGen project has been established to increase the scale-up of equipment needed for the use of liquid hydrogen. Through collaboration, HyGen aims to remove technological barriers to scale-up liquefaction equipment and multiple existing capacities by 10, whilst also strengthening the reliability and security of equipment. In addition, it wants to improve France’s competitiveness in hydrogen and to create a strong sector around liquid hydrogen and therefore meet the growing demand of the fuel in the mobility market. “As a [...]

Electrolyser manufacturers are too focused on hydrogen production efficiency, when they should be looking to make systems more flexible, Battolyser Systems’ CEO has said. Mattijs Slee, CEO of Battolyser Systems, told the World Hydrogen Summit the electrolyser industry’s reliance on platinum group metals (PGMs) was to improve hydrogen production efficiency.

Located in Kawasaki, the trial operation has seen four 0.8MW Aqualyzer™ modules put in use under realistic conditions, simulating fluctuating power input from solar or wind power. The resulting data will optimise the equipment design, operation methods and control technology of the electrolysis system. With a multi-module approach, Asahi wants to combine up to 10 modules with a capacity of 10MW each to enable commercial, large-scale electrolysis systems with a capacity of up to 100MW. The construction and operation of the pilot plant has been supported by the Green Innovation Fund, as part of Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology [...]

During the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the two companies agreed to integrate Stargate’s Stellar100 stack into Biga’s Turkish green hydrogen project, which will be a turn-key electrolysis plant with 100m3/h capacity. During its second phase, the project is expected to scale-up to a 1000Nm3/h hydrogen production system where Generation 2 stacks will be integrated, developed and patented by Stargate. Located in the industrial zone of Manisa, the first unit is anticipated to begin operation during Q3, 2025, followed by rapid deployment from 2026. Once operational next year, Stargate Hydrogen stated the project will “demonstrate the financial viability [...]
