Construction of the first green hydrogen storage demonstrator in a salt cavern is underway in France.  Officially launched in January 2021, the Hydrogen Pilot Storage for Large Ecosystem Replication (HyPSTER) aims to use salt cavern storage to connect hydrogen injection by electrolysis to industrial and mobility uses. It will also test the technical and economic [...]

Decarbonising modern life means changing the way we power our daily lives. And there’s one energy source that will be crucial in getting us there: hydrogen.  Hear from two inspiring people in Johnson Matthey (JM), William McDonnell, Research Scientist and Mark McKenna, Process Technology Manager, as they explain how they are unlocking the potential of [...]

© HySTRA – Susio Frontier In January 2022, the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier completed its first international voyage to Victoria, Australia. After filling its 1,250 cubic-meter tank with hydrogen liquefied at -253 degrees Celsius, the carrier, named Suiso Frontier, successfully returned to Kobe, Japan at the end of February. Suiso means hydrogen in Japanese.  [...]

2022 marks a new and exciting phase for ZEROe – Airbus’ ambition to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. The multi-year demonstrator program has officially been launched with the objective to test a variety of hydrogen technologies both on the ground and in the air. The ZEROe demonstrator is a giant leap [...]

Accelerating the energy transition and generating a cleaner future requires real commitment, real investment and real execution.  Enter NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC).  An equal production joint venture of ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM incorporated in August 2021, the NGHC is establishing the world’s largest green-hydrogen-based ammonia production facility run on renewable energy. The [...]

For bulk storage of very large amounts of gaseous hydrogen, underground salt caverns are an option. The gas has to be purified and compressed before it can be injected into the cavern. Hydrogen-filled cavities can act as a backup for a pipeline network.  Linde, a founding member of the Hydrogen Council, has been operating the [...]

With these awards, nine winning teams will each receive $10,000 in cash and $50,000 in vouchers for teams to spend at national laboratories to further develop their concepts. The winners of the first phase, and their proposed concepts, are: BoMax Hydrogen (Sanford, FL) a system that integrates light-activated nanoparticles with an enzyme to produce clean hydrogen [...]

The Blue Origin flight, aborted shortly after lift-off due to a booster anomaly, was the ‘first’ launch of a fully integrated hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell power system aboard a space-capable vehicle since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. William Smith, founder and CEO of Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, commented, “Despite the anomaly, we [...]

Under the PSA, Charbone USA acquired Northwood Hydropower’s partner Wolf River Hydro Limited Partnership, the owner of a 700kW hydropower plant in Shawano, Wisconsin, at the price of $700,000. Additionally, the company is planning to negotiate PSAs with Northwood for the Tower Kleber Limited Partnership, and the Black River Limited Partnership, which boast a capacity [...]

Under a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), KEPCO intends to utilise green hydrogen and ammonia to operate its South Korean power plants, contributing to its goals of utilising five to 10 million tonnes of green ammonia by 2030. Through its joint venture, The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company with NEOM, and Air Products, ACWA is set [...]
