Kellanova completes UK’s first hydrogen-powered cereal production trial | Hydrogen News

Kellanova, owner of the Kellogg’s brand, has become the first UK food manufacturer to produce cereal using hydrogen after completing a government-funded fuel-switching demonstration at its Manchester factory. The three-week trial, part of the HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching 2 programme, replaced fossil fuel gas with hydrogen to power the site’s toasting oven. The process successfully produced four well-known established brands in Western markets – Corn Flakes, Bran Flakes, Special K, and Rice­ – to highlight hydrogen’s potential as an alternative fuel in food manufacturing. The demonstration was funded through the UK government’s £55m Industrial Fuel Switching Competition, part of the £1bn Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). Kellanova, which owns the Kellogg’s brand following a 2023 rebrand, received £3m to explore hydrogen as a fuel alternative. Kellanova has already cut direct and indirect (Scope 1 and… Read More »Kellanova completes UK’s first hydrogen-powered cereal production trial | Hydrogen News

Project realities set in for Tier One majors

The comments from CEO Francois Jackow followed President Trump’s decision to freeze federal funding for clean energy projects, and came as Air Liquide announced in an earnings call that it expects more final investment decisions (FID) to be pushed back to the second half of this year as customers wait on policy and economic clarity. Read more:  Air Liquide grapples with FID slowdowns At times of great uncertainty, the priority is to cloak projects in as many de-risking layers as possible. Air Liquide is partnering with ExxonMobil’s Baytown project in Texas, investing up to $850 million to build, own and operate four large modular air separation units as well as related infrastructure. It will produce a daily volume of 9,000 tonnes of oxygen which will be used by ExxonMobil’s Autothermal Reformers (ATR) to produce low-carbon… Read More »Project realities set in for Tier One majors

Air Products axes three major US projects and expects $3.1bn write-down

Air Products has exited three major US projects as its new management focuses on streamlining its backlog and prioritising initiatives that the company believes will drive shareholder value. The write-downs that attach to the three projects are large, with Air Products expecting a pre-tax charge of up to $3.1bn in its fiscal 2025 second quarter. The costs are spread across asset write-downs and penalties and costs that attach to the termination of contractual commitments. The three projects are the World Energy sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) expansion, the Massena green hydrogen project in New York, and a Texas-based carbon monoxide facility. All three projects were announced during Seifi Ghasemi’s tenure as President, CEO, and Chair. The new CEO, Eduardo Menezes, who took the reins earlier this month, has moved quickly. The World Energy project was a… Read More »Air Products axes three major US projects and expects $3.1bn write-down

New tech uses sunlight to produce solar syngas | CCUS

Scientists from the University of Cambridge in the UK have developed a reactor that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air and converts it into syngas using sunlight as the power source. A form of direct air capture (DAC), the scientists say that the process could be used to make fuel to power cars and planes, or chemicals and pharmaceutical products, without relying on fossil fuels. The reactor offers an alternative approach to CO2 management, as carbon capture and storage (CCS) remains energy-intensive and faces long-term storage challenges. While CCS is getting lots of funding from governments around the world, its viability and safety remain topics of debate. Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research, argued in releasing the findings that CCS alone is not a long-term solution, as it in the fossil fuel… Read More »New tech uses sunlight to produce solar syngas | CCUS

Germany faces political and economic uncertainty | Germany

Friedrich Merz faces a range of political and economic challenges Friedrich Merz faces a range of political and economic challenges Yesterday’s Germany election has let created more questions than answers and sparked plenty of national and international uncertainty. With the Christian Democrats achieving their largest share of the vote, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) surging into second place and Olaf Scholz’ Social Democrat Party (SPD) falling into third, there were no shortage of political earthquakes. The hope is that a coalition government can be formed by Easter – creating a two-month power vacuum even in a best-case scenario. The biggest loser is certainly the SPD, whose support dropped 9% since Germany’s last election and saw its worst results in decades. Adding to the complicated picture, on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,… Read More »Germany faces political and economic uncertainty | Germany

Hydrogenious secures further €17m for its novel hydrogen storage tech

German scale-up Hydrogenious LOHC has raised over €17m from investors to support upcoming hydrogen projects and develop its liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology, which delivers a means for storing hydrogen via a catalytic reaction. The investment will help scale the firm’s LOHC hydrogenation plant at Chempark Dormagen and support the company’s Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube project, which recently secured €72.5m in funding from the German government and the State of Bavaria. Investors see the LOHC tech as an great addition to the hydrogen supply chain. Kevin Eggers, founding partner at AP Ventures, said, “We believe that Hydrogenious’ … technology is critical to enabling the hydrogen economy.” Christian Knechtel, CEO of project investor Winkelmann Group, said the technology represented a “crucial component” for advancing the global energy transition. … to continue reading this article… Read More »Hydrogenious secures further €17m for its novel hydrogen storage tech

UK Net Zero economy grows to £83bn | United Kingdom

The UK Net Zero economy is worth £83.1bn and 16% larger than the regional economy of the north-east, according to a new Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit report.
