Work begins on underground hydrogen storage project in Germany
German energy provider EWE wants to set up a test cavern with a capacity of 500 cubic meters at a depth of 1,000 meters. It is scheduled to go into operation in spring 2022.
Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell factory
Sydney-based domestic hydrogen electrolyzer and storage system manufacturer Lavo has revealed it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell production line in Springfield City, Queensland.
Global hydrogen project pipeline expected to exceed $300 billion by 2030
A new report from the Hydrogen Council has estimated that the current hydrogen project pipeline, if realized, would exceed investments of $300 billion by 2030. The report comes amid an acceleration in hydrogen project announcements worldwide and great expectation of hydrogen’s potential in the energy transition.
India’s largest industrial carbon capture and utilization project
Indian Oil aims to capture carbon dioxide from hydrogen generation units at its Koyali refinery in the Indian state of Gujarat for enhanced oil recovery at the nearby Gandhar oilfield.
Gold miner’s 1 GW solar, wind project to drive Australian hydrogen plan
Western Australia-based gold and nickel explorer Province Resources has announced plans to develop a 1 GW wind and solar PV green hydrogen production facility.
Green hydrogen production via 20 MW electrolyzer at Italian oil refinery
A refinery of Italian oil product provider Saras will host a large scale electrolyzer that will produce hydrogen to be used as a raw material in the refinery itself. The green energy production will be set up by Italian energy company Enel.
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.
Abengoa completes construction on pilot green hydrogen plant
Abengoa Innovación has completed the construction of the pilot plant for the Grasshopper project, which is in the commissioning and start-up phase in Seville. The plant will be then transferred to its final location – the Netherlands.
Pure Hydrogen to develop large-scale facility in Australia
Real Energy, an oil and gas developer, continues to pursue its hydrogen ambitions. It recently entered into a key partnership with Port Anthony Renewables to build and develop a large-scale hydrogen production facility in the Australian state of Victoria.
Novel algorithm for integrating solar, wind, hydrogen
A new, nature-inspired algorithm has been applied by scientists in Egypt and Saudi Arabia to optimize the production of green hydrogen via solar and wind power generation. The proposed energy system consists of PV and wind power generation, a water electrolyzer, a tank of hydrogen gas, a fuel cell, and an inverter that brings the generated electricity to final consumers.
