The German hydrogen industry must navigate funding, infrastructure and offtake challenges to achieve the scale-up of hydrogen production and distribution. Speaking at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany, Alexander Bedrunka, Project Manager for the Hydrogen Network of Lower Saxony, underscored the importance of securing an offtake agreement, to provide “planning security to the hydrogen [...]

Stranded natural gas is typically co-produced alongside oil but is either uneconomical or logistically challenging to capture and transport. In most cases, where natural gas is produced alongside oil but not used, companies flare it off or vent it into the atmosphere, producing carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane – both potent greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, [...]

Under the joint effort, Hypermotive will develop a digital control system for pressurised hydrogen gas storage based on its SYSTEM-H Technology for use with Luxfer’s G-Stor® Hydrophere multi-element gas container (MEGC). Set to use analytics to monitor deliveries, the two firms hope the solution will reduce operational complexity and cost to lower the barrier to [...]

Having today (October 23) announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the Singaporean energy firm will use hydrogen from Gentari through a 20-year supply agreement. With supply expected to commence by 2029, the hydrogen would be used by Senoko in “new” CCGT assets to “enhance” efficiency and environmental performance. Despite not revealing whether the gas power [...]

Collaboration between policymakers and industry developers is essential for building a global hydrogen trade, but funding alone won’t be enough to achieve it, attendees at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany, have heard. A panel of representatives from Scotland, Germany, and Canada emphasised that harmonisation – among both countries and between the public and [...]

Having entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the pair plan to develop a low-carbon dioxide (CO2) steel supply network, centred around Knauf Interfer’s hub in Duisburg, Germany. Blastr has plans to build a €4bn green steel plant with an integrated hydrogen production facility in Inkoo, Finland. The firm also wants to set up a green [...]

Following on from a trial of the fuel cell refuse collection truck throughout the Bay Area this September, GreenWaste is set to become the first company in North America to commercially operate the trucks. Read more: GreenWaste to trial hydrogen refuse truck supplied by Hyzon Set to be built in partnership with Hyzon and New [...]

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 [...]
