By working with the Netherlands-based team, Airbus is hoping to ensure key knowledge sharing between industry and students, with collaboration on key aspects of subsystems, set to commence in the coming months. The team’s mission is to prove and promote liquid hydrogen as a viable alternative to conventional aviation fuels, seeing the establishment of ‘Project [...]

Three hydrogen imports corridors have been prioritised by the REPowerEU plan. Hydrogen can be imported via pipelines, as well via ship, to planned, new or repurposed import terminals. The corridors will initially connect local supply and demand in different parts of Europe in parallel to expanding and connecting Europe with neighbouring regions with export potential. [...]

Set to start immediately, H2 View understands the scope of the contract will see Technip deliver the full FEED package, including design of a large-scale water electrolysis system, the balance of plant, and site integration. Uniper unveiled plans for the project, dubbed H2Maasvlakte in 2021, which is planned to gradually scaleup to a total electrolysis [...]

The companies announced they had entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) for the potential joint development of renewables-powered green hydrogen and ammonia projects based in the US. H2 View understands, under the HOA framework, AVANGRID and Sempra will identify, appraise, and potentially develop large-scale green hydrogen projects to meet the energy and decarbonisation needs [...]

According to HYRBIT, new test results from its pilot plant and R&D lab have revealed that direct reduced iron (DRI) with hydrogen creates a product with ‘significantly improved’ properties and capabilities.
