Seeing participation from Initialized Capital, the founders of Airbnb and Dropbox; Nate Blecharczyk and Arash Ferdowsi; as well as “several high-profile athletes,” the round brings the company’s total raised capital to $44m. With plans of developing the first hydrogen-powered electric business aircraft, the Toulouse-headquartered aviator completed France’s “first” manned fully hydrogen-electric test flight in February. [...]

Based at EMSTEEL’s facility, the project uses green hydrogen to reduce iron ore before processing it into steel, which the companies say could reduce steelmaking carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 95%. Now fully operational, renewable hydrogen produced by the project has been certified by Advance Labs, in line with the ISO 19870 methodology [...]

Stockholm-based GreenIron plans to use green hydrogen as a reducing agent in its “fossil-free” green metals plant in Sandviken, Sweden, which is expected to start producing iron by the end of 2024. Hydrogen will be supplied by Norwegian Hydrogen’s first electrolyser plant in Hellesylt, which opened in September – nearly 800km away from Sandviken. H2 [...]

In a new position paper, the International Platinum Group Metals Association (IPA) said that EU deployment targets for zero-emission road vehicles are heavily skewed towards battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), which it says imposes a “high risk” of supply chain bottlenecks. It said as BEV volumes grow, supply chain challenges are becoming more evident. Currently, the EU [...]

Supplied through Transport Canada’s Green Shipping Corridor Fund, the investment will be used to enhance existing marine terminal infrastructure to handle green fuels, the installation of a green ammonia loading arm, and the development of green ammonia pipelines. The project, which plans to produce 240,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year in its first phase, [...]

Having completed construction in June, the facility is now operational with the first of three electrolysers producing hydrogen. Supplied by floating offshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture firm Stiesdal, the electrolyser capacity is expected to be expanded to 12MW by adding two more systems in 2025. Hydrogen produced by the Måde plant is planned to [...]

Opened by Democratic Senator, Richard Blumenthal, the site’s annual capacity has been increased from 50 to 500MW, which the Norwegian original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has said will reduce the cost of its electrolysers by 30%. Paul Lavoie, Nel’s Chief Manufacturing Officer at the Connecticut facility, said, “Automating production facilities is the only way you are [...]

Spanish oil and gas firm Cepsa has said it could slow its €3bn ($3.2bn) green hydrogen investments planned in its home nation if temporary windfall taxes on energy companies become permanent. With plans to develop a 2GW green hydrogen hub in the Andalusia region of Spain, Cepsa had earmarked €3bn to step up three hydrogen [...]

Seeing support from Grupo ASV, Napil and Zubi, the capital will be used for the opening of the firm’s catalyst and electrode factory in Valencia, which it says will produce the equivalent of 1GW of electrodes per year. With a 10,000m2 facility in Paterna, Valencia, the firm expects to open its doors imminently. Designed for [...]

State-owned NTPC has partnered with the Indian army to build a solar-hydrogen microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh. Designed to operate independently of the grid, solar energy will produce hydrogen, which will be used as an energy storage medium. When combined with batteries, it will supply 200kW of power “round-the-clock” throughout the year. Set to replace existing [...]
