German researchers develop highly efficient alkaline membrane electrolyzer
The new electrolyzer is designed to match the performance of established PEM electrolyzers. Its anode catalyst consists of inexpensive nickel double hydroxide compounds with iron, cobalt or manganese.
Go Energy Group plans to install 170 MW of green hydrogen and ammonia in Spain
The company said in a statement that it was “firm in its commitment to the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley and will continue to invest to create value and employment in the municipalities of San Juan del Puerto and Gibraleón.”
The Hydrogen Stream: Statkraft advances green H2 plans in Germany
Statkraft says it is progressing with its 200 MW electrolysis plant in Germany, while Neste says it will not invest in its 120 MW electrolyzer project in Finland.
Statkraft aiming for up to €107 million in EU funding for hydrogen production in Germany
The Norwegian energy company wants to build 200 MW of electrolysis capacity in the German state of Lower Saxony. The waste heat generated is to be used for district heating. The EU has now asked Statkraft to enter into negotiations on funding.
The Hydrogen Stream: More H2 projects put on hold
Repsol has told pv magazine that it has frozen 90% of Spain’s hydrogen projects nearing final investment decisions, while Statkraft has confirmed that it has revised its plans for its hydrogen project in Norway.
The Hydrogen Stream: US researchers explore trapped geologic hydrogen
US researchers have started studying hydrogen formation in the Midcontinent Rift in the United States, while Dutch scientists have discovered that hydrogen emissions from industrial complexes are higher than previously estimated.
Powering restaurants with rooftop PV, reversible fuel cells
Researchers have simulated the operation of bifacial PV and proton exchange membrane reversible fuel cells across restaurants in five different US states. Taking into account varying rates of bifacial PV’s rearside gains, they found that LCOE was as low as $0.029 per kWh.
Shoots of growth for Indian green hydrogen
India is laying the foundations of a hydrogen economy with huge governmental support. pv magazine spoke to Jakson Green CEO Bikesh Ogra about the company’s manufacturing and production activities in light of India’s ambitious hydrogen plans and the central role electrolyzer manufacturing is set to play.
The Hydrogen Stream: Innio starts hydrogen-fueled CHP plant in Austria
Innio Group has started operating a combined heat and power (CHP) plant for heating purposes in Austria, while PureWave Hydrogen has told pv magazine that it is exploring geological hydrogen in Kansas using proprietary software and an AI system.
The Hydrogen Stream: Harvard researchers say H2 costs underestimated
Harvard University researchers say hydrogen costs are underestimated due to unaccounted storage and distribution variability across sectors, while Kore Infrastructure has told pv magazine that it aims to reach a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of between $1/kg and $2/kg.
