Floating PV could power up to 490,000 households in Hong Kong
Hong Kong has limited land, and researchers have checked how much of the city can be powered if most of its water reservoirs were to be fully or partially covered with floating PV systems. At best, full coverage can supply more than 15% of the city’s total demand, and more than 60% of the residential demand.
Integrated risk-cost framework for DC-coupled PV-electrolyzers
Scientists in Austria have conducted a risk analysis for four setups for coupled PV-electrolyser systems, and tested them under three use cases. They calculated failure probability as well as the levelized cost of hydrogen and its risk-weighted variant.
New method to calculate levelized cost of hydrogen
Scientists in Australia have incorporated overload capacity and power-dependent efficiency of the electrolyser in a novel techno-economic model to calculate the levelized cost of hydrogen. The proposed methodology was applied to ascertain the impact of internalizing environmental costs on the cost-competitiveness of green hydrogen compared to grey hydrogen.
Jakson reveals plans to manufacture solar cells, electrolyzers
India’s Jakson Green will expand its solar module and cell manufacturing capacity to 2 GW by the end of 2024, CEO Bikesh Ogra told pv magazine this week at the Renewable Energy India Expo 2022. He said the company also has aggressive plans for green hydrogen and ammonia, with a specific focus on distributed generation.
Water-based electrolyzer for green hydrogen production
Verdagy has secured a $25 million investment for its new electrolyzer technology, which provides hydrogen fuel for heavy industrial applications. The membrane-based technology uses large active area cells, high current densities, and broad operating ranges to deliver hydrogen at scale.
New European project to drive 95 GW of solar and 67 GW of hydrogen
A total of 30 major companies from across Europe are laying the foundations to create HyDeal Ambition, a value chain promising to provide 100% green hydrogen for €1.5/kg by 2030, matching the current price of fossil-fuel produced ‘grey’ hydrogen.
German hydrogen specialist to expand electrolyzer production in Europe
Enapter wants to launch mass production in Saerbeck, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It also plans to expand its current production facilities in Pisa, Italy.
Construction begins at Hydrogen Park South Australia
The transformation of South Australia’s energy system has taken another step forward with early site works at a green hydrogen facility near Adelaide. The plant will integrate what is billed as Australia’s biggest electrolyzer of its kind.
