BCGA event: Small-scale hydrogen ‘could cut construction emissions’ | Hydrogen

Hydrogen can play a key role in construction decarbonisation Hydrogen can play a key role in construction decarbonisation The opening morning of the British Compressed Gases Association annual conference shone the spotlight on construction, which is a sector that remains central to decarbonisation. On stage at the Worsley Park Hotel in Manchester were John Vickers, Engineering Director, and Caitlin Sergeant, Senior Project Engineer, at HyKit, which is a hydrogen infrastructure joint venture comprising JCB, HYCAP and HydraB Group. Vickers said the hydrogen industry was busy looking at “creative ways” to try to bring costs down and offer pragmatic options to builders. “Part of this is developing much smaller pieces of [hydrogen-powered] equipment,” he said. “A lot of site operators are not operating at any sort of scale that can justify deployment of large-scale assets.

Geologic hydrogen needs intensive R&D, says study | largely academic knowledge base

Geologic hydrogen is high-risk but high-reward due to challenges related to limited, non-real-world knowledge, according to a new study. Geologic hydrogen, also known as white or natural hydrogen, is formed inside the Earth’s crust through natural processes in areas of iron-rich rock and can accumulate in underground reservoirs. Its potential as a clean and low-cost source of hydrogen has been growing in recent years, as various companies and governments start exploration efforts. Early last year, Rystad Energy estimated that 40 companies were searching for natural hydrogen deposits, up from just 10 in 2020. However, according to a study by Sandia National Laboratories in the US questions remain about how subsurface hydrogen can be found and recovered, with more R&D efforts required across various elements of the operation. “The key challenge to making geologic hydrogen a… Read More »Geologic hydrogen needs intensive R&D, says study | largely academic knowledge base

EU policy delays could hinder hydrogen and nuclear industry | Hydrogen

Any delays in low-carbon fuel regulations could hinder the growth of the hydrogen and nuclear industries. Under EU draft plans following the launch of the Clean Industrial Deal, Brussels will not start consulting on nuclear until June 2026 and hydrogen produced from nuclear would not be classified ‘low carbon’ until 2028, according to reports. A wave of policy updates are currently landing in Europe – with tight timeframes attached. Alongside the Clean Industrial Deal, the European Green Deal includes a commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. This is why nuclear is gaining attention. Nuclear power itself is considered low-carbon due to minimal greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation. However, when you factor in the entire lifecycle, such as mining, fuel processing, construction and decommissioning,… Read More »EU policy delays could hinder hydrogen and nuclear industry | Hydrogen

Japan’s Eneos targets low-carbon fuels including hydrogen | Hydrogen

Japan’s Eneos Holdings is to focus on liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under a new three-pronged strategy. Its business portfolio now divides into base and materials businesses, low-carbon, and decarbonisation. LNG will see an “active injection of resources” in the coming years, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be prioritised for industry and power generation and a major SAF project will see an in-house manufacturing system at the Wakayama plant operating from 2028. The holding company is “considering hydrogen production, transportation, and supply to industrial transport operators in Japan for the establishment of a hydrogen supply chain.” … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

ExxonMobil signs ammonia offtake deal with Japan’s Marubeni | Ammonia

Katherine Welles / Shutterstock.com Katherine Welles / Shutterstock.com US oil and gas business ExxonMobil has signed a long-term offtake deal to supply Japanese trading company Marubeni Corporation with 250,000 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia a year. ExxonMobil will supply the ammonia from its planned hydrogen plant in Baytown, Texas. This ammonia will be utilised at the Kobe Power Plant, owned by Kobe Steel, in Hyogo prefecture, Japan. Marubeni has also signed a deal to acquire an equity stake in the Baytown facility. The Baytown plant is expected to be among the world’s largest blue hydrogen plants, with the capacity to supply enough hydrogen to generate over one million tonnes of ammonia per year, with around 98% of CO2 captured. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to… Read More »ExxonMobil signs ammonia offtake deal with Japan’s Marubeni | Ammonia

Austria starts up its largest green hydrogen plant | Hydrogen

State-owned Austrian energy and chemicals business OMV has announced the start-up of its 10MW green hydrogen production plant at the Schwechat refinery near Vienna. It is the largest plant of its kind so far in Austria, but not striking in scale. The €25m plant has capacity to produce up to 1,500 tonnes of green hydrogen per year – about 4 tonnes per day. The 10MW PEM electrolyser is powered by electricity from wind, hydro, and solar sources. The company, which is targeting Net Zero by 2050 “at the latest”, also confirmed the plant is certified for producing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO). … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Statkraft halts its green hydrogen programme | Hydrogen

Norway state-owned company Statkraft has halted new hydrogen developments, blaming ongoing market uncertainty. The move from one of Europe’s largest renewable energy producers is another blow for the developing hydrogen sector. Statkraft said parts of its portfolio would be “further matured” before seeking investors to try to realise the projects. Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal, President and CEO of Statkraft, said, “Several projects have received substantial external funding opportunities, and the company is working with authorities to ensure their progression. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Elcogen and Casale team up on green ammonia and Power-to-X projects | Hydrogen

Finnish technology manufacturer Elcogen and integrated Swiss engineering firm Casale are teaming up on prospective green ammonia and Power-to-X (P2X) projects. Under a memorandum of understanding, Elcogen will explore integrating its solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack and stack module technology, used for green hydrogen production, into Casale’s plants, and potentially other P2X applications globally. Elcogen can provide its technology platform and related technical services to support Casale in its process design efforts for developers. Mikael Jansen, Director of Business Development at Elcogen, said solid oxide technology is on track to reach cost parity with PEM and alkaline systems soon. Once it does, he said, it would offer even greater value. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
