Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two firms will look at producing low-cost hydrogen using high-efficiency SOEC technology and low-cost baseload nuclear power. So-called pink hydrogen production uses nuclear electricity instead of renewable energy to power electrolysers. Proponents claim it can provide a more consistent, stable way of producing hydrogen due to the consistent [...]

Promised to be a “fundamental redesign” of its previous pressurised alkaline system, Nel says the next generation will have higher efficiency to reduce OPEX and shorter response times for pairing with renewables. Having tested full-size electrodes during the first half of 2024, Nel in July said it would start construction of a 6.25MW prototype system [...]

Set to cover Germany by 2032, the approved network comprises 9,040km of pipelines; 60% of which will be converted natural gas lines, requiring an estimated €18.9bn ($20.4bn) of investment. Planned to connect production centres, import areas, storage facilities and end-users, by 2032, the network’s feed-in capacity will be 101GW of hydrogen, with a feed-out capacity [...]

In July (2024), the firm agreed to integrate CTF’s solar cell modules into SunHydrogen technology for green hydrogen production. Together, they designed a scalable thin-film solar cell module architecture that will form the basis for multiple 1m2 demonstrations, which are now being constructed.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) selected Matrix Gas, Simplex Casting and the Steel Authority of India to build pilot plants with a combined steel output of 3,290 tonnes per day. MNRE put out the call for projects in February, offering funds until FY 2029-30 for projects developing infrastructure for the use of [...]

The document released by UK-based hydrogen innovation consortium HyDEX, calls for a coordinated approach across government departments and siloes to be “broken down across industries.” Based on a series of four industry roundtables with companies and organisations across the UK value chain, the report highlights misalignment between the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero [...]

When operating at 90oC, the OEM says the electrolyser can reach 10,600A/m2 as a maximum current density, with an energy consumption of 4.7kWh/Nm3. Higher current density means greater hydrogen production capacity, but maintaining this with low energy consumption is difficult, with most electrolysers operating at lower current densities. When the current density of the Shuangling [...]

The graphene-enhanced material will be dedicated to hydrogen storage and transport applications. Graphmatech expects the solution to be implemented in approximately 1,000 light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and 500 heavy commercial vehicles by 2027. The composite combines polyamide grades with graphene, “effectively blocking hydrogen from escaping while also making the plastic stronger.” H2 View understands that [...]

Offering an opportunity for stakeholders to declare their commitments to working towards the scale-up of clean hydrogen, the declaration does not come as part of COP’s official negotiations. Instead, they “aim to catalyse action and ambition across all sectors of society,” according to the Presidency. The Hydrogen Declaration sets out eight points to reach its [...]

The direct Swedish grant will be used to fund the installation of an electric arc furnace (EAF) to produce direct reduced iron (DRI) using renewable hydrogen, to help the existing steel plant move away from coal-based production. Expected to have capacity for 2.5 million tonnes of green slabs per year, SSAB plans to start producing [...]
