The 440MW project announced in 2021 was planned for Trafigura’s metals subsidiary Nyrstar Port Pirie smelter in South Australia. The first stage of the project would have introduced an 85MW electrolyser plant before it was scaled up to 440MW. Both the government and Trafigura had reportedly committed AUD $2.5m ($1.6m) each towards the project’s design. [...]

After agreeing on the deal last July, the partners plan to deliver low-carbon hydrogen – produced from methane with carbon capture – via pipeline to the Jubail Industrial City. H2 View understands that the acquisition will also include options for Aramco to offtake core ammonia components hydrogen and nitrogen from BHIG. The network, in combination [...]

While Next Hydrogen will retain control of its intellectual property and system design, Sungrow – a major Chinese electrolyser manufacturer with 3GW of capacity – will handle large-scale production, including the balance of plant components like pumps and piping. Beginning next year, Sungrow will manufacture Next Hydrogen electrolysers, including the balance of plant systems, such [...]

Those behind the Extreme E offroad racing series are set to launch its successor, the Extreme H series, later this year. The new racing series will illustrate the potential of hydrogen-powered racing and showcase the Pioneer 25 car. 1895 caught up with Ali Russell and Andy Welch of Extreme H to get the latest developments [...]

Despite industry-wide setbacks and recalibration, large-scale industrial hydrogen has made impressive steps to becoming a commercial reality in recent months. From Europe to southern Africa, change is firmly underway. Germany’s largest PEM electrolyser has just gone into operation at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site. The electrolyser has a connected load of 54MW and capacity to supply the [...]

The Climate Protection Contracts are a 15-year two-way carbon CFD aimed at supporting fuel switching and electrification in sectors like cement, chemical and steel production. Projects will be subject to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and musy cut at least 60% of emissions in the first three years and 90% by the end of [...]

Under the agreement with one of the continent’s “leading” shipyards, the Swedish fuel cell provider will install 2MW of its recently launched fuel cell solution, once it’s delivered in 2029. PowerCell describes the M2Power 250 system as an all-in-one solution that combines a methanol reformer and fuel cells into a single unit, simplifying fuel cell [...]

The Newcastlemax bulk carriers and chemical tankers will be a mix of ammonia-fitted and ammonia-ready systems, allowing the hydrogen compound to fuel operations. Three ammonia-fitted 210,000 dwt bulk carriers on order at Qingdao Beihai Shipyard will be jointly owned by CMB.Tech and MOL – with the Japanese shipper chartering them for 12 years. Six chemical [...]

Currently under construction in Duisburg, the plant has already secured €2bn ($2.2bn) in government funding, with Thyssenkrupp committing a further €1bn ($1.1bn) – its largest single investment to date. Using direct-reduced iron (DRI) technology, it’s set to produce 2.5 million tonnes of green iron annually, later converted into steel. From 2028, it’ll demand at least [...]

New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election for April 28 to build a mandate to challenge US President Donald Trump.
