Asahi Kasei wins backing to boost green hydrogen production | Hydrogen

Japanese technology company Asahi Kasei has secured government funding to expand its production of green hydrogen equipment, part of Japan’s ambitious efforts to hit carbon neutrality by 2050.  Under the plan, Asahi Kasei will build new manufacturing facilities at its plant in Kawasaki, aiming to produce 2 GW (gigawatts) of electrolyser components like cell frames and membranes annually by 2028.  Backed by a ¥11.4bn ($74m) subsidy as part of Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) strategy, this expansion is part of a larger ¥35 billion ($224m) investment by the company.   … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

ADNOC Gas explores graphene and hydrogen from methane | Graphene

ADNOC Gas and Baker Hughes have installed Levidian’s LOOP technology at the Habshan Gas Processing Plant. The Gulf operator claims it marks the first-ever deployment of the technology at an operational gas processing site. Carbon will be captured from methane, the main constituent of natural gas, and transformed into graphene, a material set to shape the future of multiple industrial applications, under a pilot trial. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

UK Government awards £50m for hydrogen and carbon capture projects | Decarbonisation

The UK Government has earmarked £51.9 million ($63.2m) to 25 businesses adopting emissions-cutting projects as part of the Plan for Change which targets economic growth and Net Zero emissions by 2050. Allocated under the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund, the government will back industries as varied as food manufacturing, cement production and glass processing. A statement released last week by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero revealed that recipients include Essar Oil UK, Heinz’s Wigan baked bean factory, Nestle’s coffee facility in Staffordshire, Hanson Cement in North Wales and a craft beer company in Cornwall. “These companies represent some of the best of business innovation – using new technologies to improve how we do things, become more sustainable and continue to make the British products we love – from baked beans to beer,” said… Read More »UK Government awards £50m for hydrogen and carbon capture projects | Decarbonisation

CIP supports major green hydrogen project in Germany | Hydrogen

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has teamed up with Friesen Elektra Green Energy AG to launch Project Anker, a green hydrogen production facility in Sande, Lower Saxony, Germany.  The project will start with an electrolysis capacity of 400 MW, with plans to double to 800 MW in future, producing up to 80,000 tonnes of green hydrogen each year. Located near Wilhelmshaven, a key energy and industrial hub, and close to Germany’s planned hydrogen core network, Project Anker is well-positioned to support industries like steel and chemicals, as well as transport.  The facility aims to replace fossil fuels with green hydrogen, potentially reducing CO2 emissions by 2.4 million tonnes annually, roughly equal to the emissions from 340,000 households. The hydrogen production will be powered by renewable energy from wind and solar sources. Speaking about the project, Felix… Read More »CIP supports major green hydrogen project in Germany | Hydrogen

Diversify supply chains amid mounting geopolitical risks | Report

Declining optimism, deepening geopolitical tensions and tariff-led economic impacts are shrouding the world as we enter 2025 but one bright spark is a fall in inflation, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks report released ahead of the Davos conference. State-based armed conflict (23%), extreme weather events (14%) and geoeconomic confrontation (11%) head the list of concerns in the current risk landscape, followed by misinformation and disinformation (7%) and societal polarisation (6%). Interestingly disruptions to a ‘systemically important supply chain’ barely registered (1%), suggesting challenges during the COVID years have been consigned to memory, although the report still highlights the need to diversify supply chains amid ongoing conflicts. “With geopolitical volatility likely to remain high over the next two years, organisational investment in geopolitical risk foresight and risk management is a must,” it states.… Read More »Diversify supply chains amid mounting geopolitical risks | Report

Nippon Gases and HOYER lead with Germany’s first hydrogen-powered dry ice truck | Hydrogen

Nippon Gases Deutschland and HOYER Group have introduced Germany’s first hydrogen-powered truck for dry ice logistics, marking a major step toward decarbonising industrial gas transport. The hydrogen-powered Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell truck, leased from hylane GmbH, is now operational and tailored to meet the demands of dry ice logistics. The truck, which has a range of 450 km and refuels in under 15 minutes, is projected to save approximately 69,000 kilograms of CO2 annually compared to diesel alternatives. Unveiled at Nippon Gases’ Hürth site on 8th January, 2025, the initiative highlights the potential of hydrogen in reducing emissions within heavy-duty logistics. Mona Neubaur, North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister for Economic Affairs, participated in the demonstration, stressing hydrogen’s role in achieving climate neutrality. “Hydrogen-powered trucks excel where battery-electric vehicles fall short, such as in long-haul freight. Initiatives like… Read More »Nippon Gases and HOYER lead with Germany’s first hydrogen-powered dry ice truck | Hydrogen

Port of Açu and Yamna to develop green ammonia plant in Brazil | Ammonia

Port of Açu Operações (Port of Açu) and YamnaCo have signed a land reservation agreement in the new hub for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives in the port industrial complex of Port of Açu in the northeast of Rio de Janeiro State to develop a green ammonia project. The port is reserving 2m sqm for green hydrogen projects and the new area adds to the 1m sqm already licensed. The deal opens up the prospect of a green hydrogen and ammonia corridor linking Brazil with Belgium. Yamna, targeting a production capacity of up to one million tonnes per year (mtpa), expects to reach the final investment decision by 2027 and start producing its first green molecules in 2030. Privately owned by Prumo Logística and Port of Antwerp-Bruges International, Port of Açu is one of Brazil’s… Read More »Port of Açu and Yamna to develop green ammonia plant in Brazil | Ammonia
