Net Zero minister Mairi McAllan today (April 18) told the Scottish Parliament that the 2030 target was “out of reach,” while stressing Scotland’s 2045 Net Zero goal will remain. In December 2022, Scotland set out ambitions to boast a 5GW low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030 and 25GW by 2050. Read more: Scotland unveils Hydrogen [...]

The energy consultancy in its Conflicts of interest: the cost of investing in the energy transition in a high interest-rate era report warned the higher cost of borrowing negatively impacts renewables and nascent technologies more than established oil and gas, and metals and mining sectors. In particular, Wood Mackenzie warned the lack of economic incentives [...]

Taking place in the UK at Fablink’s Silverstone, Northamptonshire facility, the two companies are collaborating to develop the prototype, with the support of manufacturing service partner HSSMI. The first build of the prototype rigs has been completed at the Silverstone site and will be delivered to UTAC, Leyland for initial rig testing. Several other APs [...]

Bosch doesn’t expect to see major hydrogen growth in Europe or North America until the 2030s, according to the company’s Chairman.

The German electrolyser manufacturer will support the unnamed European developer and allow it to take a “transparent, comprehensive financial investment decision (FID) for the project.” Under the agreement, Sunfire will define operational parameters, site requirements, and execution guidelines with integration partners (EPCs) for the 500MW pressurised alkaline electrolyser. Solar and wind infrastructure will supply renewable [...]

From April 3-6, the locomotive travelled on the Minho Line, between the Valença and Nine stations, reaching over 8,500km in hydrogen mode when grouped with its previous testing in Spain last year (2023). Following the test programme, FCH2RAIL has obtained the authorisation to run the train demonstrator in a second European country. © FCH2RAIL H2 [...]

Under a joint project, the duo have said they aim to build a system to purify hydrogen using membrane separation from hydrogen-nitrogen mixture gas generated during ammonia cracking. Despite ammonia being set to play a significant role in the transport of hydrogen, purifying hydrogen after ammonia cracking is crucial to allow the energy carrier to [...]

Enertek International’s Research into Leakage Rates of Hydrogen Blends study, commissioned by the Environmental Coalition on Standards (ECOS), also identified that household boilers saw leaks increase by 44% when using hydrogen blended with fossil gas. Tested across three separate hobs and three different boilers, hydrogen was blended with methane 20% / 80%, respectively, at both [...]

Set to produce 675 tonnes per day of green ammonia, KBR’s K-GreeN® technology will be implemented into the Holmaneset project. Under the agreement, KBR will also provide technology license, proprietary engineering design and front-end engineering design (FEED) support services. The President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, Jay Ibrahim said, “KBR is a significant contributor in [...]

The company revealed its European-manufactured “Stellar 100” stack, claimed to be among the “most efficient” stacks for green hydrogen production on the market, will be launched at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam next month (May 2024). Jointly developed with European suppliers, the stack was tested by the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research [...]
