A recent study by the analyst firm Boston Consulting Group found that by positioning itself as a pioneer in the production and adoption of SAF, Morocco could not only steal a march on its neighbours, but also strengthen its energy autonomy and its image. There is lots that comes with that statement, of course. One [...]

The electrolyser manufacturer said the contract for the undisclosed project was based on “multiple” 5MW containerised systems – often selected for ease of installation. While project capacity and client details remain undisclosed, the plant is expected to come online in 2028. However, the development has been selected for the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2. This scheme [...]

The economics of hydrogen mobility are the reverse of battery-electric vehicles (BEV), according to Johnson Matthey’s (JM) Eugene McKenna, with high upfront costs from infrastructure but cheaper scale-up once in place. The company’s Vice-President and Sustainable Technologies Director said that once a full-scale network is in place, the last million vehicles will, by definition, be [...]

The plant is expected to reform natural gas into hydrogen-rich syngas, capture much of the CO2, and use the hydrogen in that syngas to produce blue methanol for markets like shipping. Sandpiper said the facility will produce 3,000 tonnes of methanol per day. However, the project is still at the pre-final investment decision (FID) stage, [...]

Trafigura purchased 23,000 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia and loaded the cargo on 25 September, acting as the middleman between the two companies. Certified under the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) programme, the ammonia will be used to make low-carbon caprolactam – a key chemical used in plastics and ammonium sulphate. “By integrating certified low-carbon feedstocks [...]

The PEM electrolyser making operation opened in November 2023 with one-third of its nameplate 3GW capacity, with plans to scale up by 2026. Air Liquide’s Vice-President of Innovation, Electronics and Hydrogen, Armelle Levieux, revealed on LinkedIn, the site had passed 1GW of order intake this week. “The stacks coming out of this factory are already [...]

The 500kW solar-powered plant in Sestu, Sardinia, is designed to produce around 21 tonnes of hydrogen annually, with output expected to increase to 70 tonnes per year by 2028. In Sestu, the produced hydrogen is blended with natural gas and piped into the local gas grid to power households and small businesses. Additionally, it’s set [...]

The US Department of Energy has terminated funding for two clean hydrogen hubs, previously selected for a combined $2.2bn. California’s Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), and the Pacific Northwest Regional Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2) both saw funds cut as part of a wider $7.5bn rollback, largely targeting projects in Democrat-leaning states. The funding [...]

Hydrogen supplier and project developer Econ is collaborating with energy firm Skellefteá Kraft to roll out a network of hydrogen refuelling stations throughout Sweden. Although the companies did not disclose the station’s capacity, H2 View understands it is equipped for refuelling at both 350 bar and 700 bar, serving heavy-duty transport as well as passenger [...]

By combining Morocco’s renewable energy potential with China’s capacity to finance and deliver major projects, Morocco could emerge as a leader in green hydrogen and the world’s lowest-cost producer of green ammonia. That was a key message at the World Power-to-X Summit in Marrakech, where industry leaders said green hydrogen costs could fall to $1.87/kg. [...]
