US-based CF will own 40%, Jera 35%, and Mitsui 25%. CF will operate and maintain the plant in Ascension Parish, while all three will have a stake in offtaking the blue ammonia product. The greenfield autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia plant with an equipped carbon capture unit is estimated to cost $4bn, with the three partners [...]

The electrolysers will be used to produce hydrogen for storage and dispensing on-site at a refuelling station planned for a former German Armed Forces base in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia. The station will be operated by Regional Transport Cologne (RVK), which is already using over 100 hydrogen buses – adding to its existing stations in Meckenheim [...]

Under project Eco2Fly, the project partners will capture a portion of the CO2 produced at Holcim’s cement plant. The new facility in Toledo is designed to capture over 700,000 tonnes of CO2 per year during cement production, while the unused CO2 will be permanently stored underground. In an online statement, the partners claimed Eco2Fly will [...]

Currently under construction at the Fincantieri Ancona shipyard in Italy, the vessel is scheduled for delivery in late 2026. Additionally, a subsequent ship will also be delivered for Viking at the shipyard a year later – also hydrogen-powered and dubbed the Viking Astrea. Fincantieri’s subsidiary, Isotta Fraschini Motori (IFM), will provide fuel cell technology tailor-made [...]

Part of the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park near Leipzig, the pipeline will deliver up to 2,700 tonnes of green hydrogen per year to the Leuna refinery once the facility comes online at the end of 2025. The hydrogen will be produced using Sunfire alkaline electrolysers, powered by an on-site wind farm. The project – which [...]

The Kassø power-to-X facility in Aabenraa is the “world’s first” commercial-scale e-methanol facility, with an annual capacity of 42,000 tonnes. Last month, the Kassø plant produced its first molecules of hydrogen-derived e-methanol. The certification was granted through the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU scheme. It confirmed that the methanol production meets renewable fuels [...]

The Young Hydrogen Professional Network will give members access to Hydrogen UK’s briefings and industry reports, as well as discounts on events, to support careers. The programme will be chaired by Megan Backhouse, Senior Project Engineer at BOC, who won the Future Hydrogen Leader Award at the trade body’s annual conference and awards last week. [...]

The whitepaper by Druck, hosted on h2-view.com, warned that many sensors marketed “hydrogen-compatible” can suffer from issues such as drift, embrittlement, and permeation when exposed to harsh, high-pressure hydrogen environments. Hydrogen sensors are used throughout the value chain – from electrolysers and fuelling stations to pipelines and storage – providing real-time monitoring to ensure safety, [...]

Instead of the usual comments around regulation, investment and offtakes, she stressed the importance of understanding hydrogen’s physical and technical properties – without which, it stands to reason, the industry cannot evolve. “Many people think that hydrogen’s clean and that’s really not the case – it depends on how it is produced, managed and used,” [...]

While details on the project are thin, the plans were confirmed by Egypt’s Transportation Ministry. The agreement was signed in Cairo during President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Egypt. On Monday (April 7), the two nations signed numerous strategic agreements covering health, transport and energy to help shore up Egypt’s stability. “Egypt is a strategic partner [...]
