Spanish e-methanol project taps biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen | Methanol & e-fuels

Three European energy companies are planning to develop an e-methanol plant in Spain that will capture around 380,000 tonnes of biogenic carbon dioxide, which will be used to produce 200,000 tonnes of synthetic methanol each year. Spanish renewable energy firm Magnon will oversee the carbon capture portion of the project, while partners Power2X and ErasmoPower2X will handle the hydrogen supply. Part of this will see ErasmoPower2X supplying green hydrogen from its facilities in nearby Saceruela. The project will be located at Magnon’s industrial complex in Puertollano, Ciudad Real, where the carbon capture technology will be fitted into its existing biomass plant. As a fossil-free feedstock, e-methanol could help to decarbonise hard-to-electrify sectors in Spain – a country which is targeting a fully renewable energy system by 2050. “This initiative … will decarbonise various Spanish industries… Read More »Spanish e-methanol project taps biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen | Methanol & e-fuels

Podcast | What the 45V repeal means for hydrogen and clean energy | Podcast

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast we are joined by Mona Dajani, Partner and Global Co-Chair of Energy Infrastructure & Hydrogen, and Co-Chair of the Energy Sector at Baker Botts, to discuss the future of the Section 45V tax credit and it’s possible repeal. We discuss the implications of legislative changes for hydrogen projects in the US, the shift this could create from green to blue hydrogen, the global investment landscape, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding hydrogen policy. The conversation also touches on the perception of the US hydrogen market around the world, and the future of the hydrogen sector – both in the case of passage or failure. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Korea pilot project will turn steel emissions into syngas | Syngas Plant

South Korean steel manufacturer Posco Holdings and chemical company LG Chem are to pilot carbon capture and utilisation technology that converts CO2 from steelmaking into synthetic gas for reuse in industrial processes. The demonstration project, part of South Korea’s national CCU Mega Project, will see CO2 captured at Posco’s Pohang steelworks and processed using LG Chem’s dry methane reforming technology. Dry methane reforming combines CO2 and methane to produce synthetic gas, or syngas – a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen – which can be used as a reducing agent in steel production or as a feedstock in chemical manufacturing, including plastics and fuels. Methane is likely to be supplied from natural gas or other industrial sources. The pilot will begin with a design phase in 2026, followed by construction in 2028 and demonstration operations… Read More »Korea pilot project will turn steel emissions into syngas | Syngas Plant

Nippon Sanso sees core income rise despite US hydrogen write-down | Financial Reports

Global industrial gases major Nippon Sanso Holdings (NSHD) grew consolidated revenue by 4.2% year-on-year to $8.86bn in its fiscal year 2025, with pricing and efficiency gains offsetting flat volumes. Results were partly weighed down by a one-off $173m impairment tied to a cancelled US hydrogen project. Core operating income rose 13.9% to $1.28bn, helped by cost control measures across the group’s global industrial gas business. But reported operating income fell 3.6% to $1.12bn due to an impairment linked to its cancelled US hydrogen production project. Net income dropped 6.7% to $668m. Shipment volumes of core air gases (oxygen, nitrogen and argon) held steady year-on-year, though total group volumes declined slightly. Performance varied across regions. Japan saw weaker demand for electronic materials and gases but was buoyed by strong equipment sales. In the US, modest volume… Read More »Nippon Sanso sees core income rise despite US hydrogen write-down | Financial Reports

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. Space… Read More »BCGA event: Small-scale hydrogen ‘could cut construction emissions’ | Hydrogen

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
