Canada joins hydrogen race with dedicated strategy
The new hydrogen plans of the Canadian government will be supported by a US$1.7 billion fund for low-carbon and zero-emission fuels.
Spanish energy providers want to couple 400 MW of PV with 60 MW electrolyzer
Enagas and Naturgy are planning to build Spain’s largest green hydrogen plant. The facility will be located at a thermal power plant that Naturgy shuttered last year.
Italy’s Snam says 70% of pipeline system now hydrogen-ready
Italian gas infrastructure specialist Snam has announced plans to develop global hydrogen-related mobility solutions and applications. It tells pv magazine that it wants to build an “energy bridge” between Europe and North Africa.
Green hydrogen costs could plunge in India by 2030
A cost decline of more than 50% by the end of the decade could make green hydrogen cost-competitive with hydrogen from fossil fuels in certain industrial applications, such as ammonia production for fertilizers.
Improving PV-based hydrogen generation with loss‐mitigation techniques
Australian scientists have demonstrated two loss-mitigation techniques that could improve solar‐to‐hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiencies and may lay the ground for cheaper PV-powered hydrogen generation. By combining the two techniques, they were able to achieve an STH efficiency of around 19.4% at realistic operating temperatures.
Engie, Australian ammonia supplier to build hydrogen hub
Engie has published the findings of its long-awaited feasibility study with Yara on the development of renewable hydrogen and ammonia. They plan to build new large-scale facilities in Western Australia, starting with a 10 MW solar farm and electrolyzer.
Enel, Eni to build joint 20 MW pilot green hydrogen project
The two Italian energy giants have joined forces to bring online 20 MW of hydrogen capacity between 2022 and 2023. Two 10 MW pilot electrolyzers will be built at unspecified Eni refineries.
Work begins on German-Australian ‘hydrogen bridge’
Australia and Germany have officially started a joint-feasibility study on green hydrogen production and trade, or what the German Federal Minister of Research has described as a “hydrogen bridge.”
China could drive 4.2 TW of solar capacity by 2050 under decarbonization plan
The solar and wind industries could benefit from a $6.4 trillion boom under the most ambitious of two scenarios described by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, and $2.4 trillion even in the business-as-usual outlook.
Italy targets 5 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030
The Italian government has unveiled a new hydrogen strategy that aims for 20% hydrogen penetration into final energy demand by 2050.
