Air Products CEO: why we kept some hydrogen projects and canned others

Air Products has said more about its logic for deciding which underperforming hydrogen projects to cancel and which to pursue. The recently installed CEO Eduardo Menezes said on Thursday’s Q2 earnings call that the company was mindful of the way that delivering a project would impact its cash flow, while also considering project-related commercial commitments to customers. “You know, we take [our customer commitments] very seriously,” he said. He said where there were no customer contracts in the frame, and the company had more freedom, Air Products looked at what spend was needed to finish a project, and the cash flow that would be generated. … to continue reading you must be subscribed Source link

India unveils green hydrogen certification to support active market | Hydrogen

India has launched the country’s Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI), laying the regulatory foundation for what it hopes will become a global export market worth $70bn and a cornerstone of its domestic clean energy strategy. Unveiled by Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Prahlad Joshi, the GHCI defines what qualifies as ‘green’ hydrogen, introduces a multi-tiered certification system, and sets a maximum lifecycle emissions threshold of 2kg CO2 equivalent per kg of hydrogen. The scheme applies to hydrogen produced via electrolysis or biomass conversion, using renewable energy only. Certification will be mandatory for all producers except those manufacturing hydrogen exclusively for export. The framework includes four levels of certification: concept, facility-level, provisional, and final, with the final certificate required to access government incentives or sell hydrogen in the domestic market. The scheme is designed… Read More »India unveils green hydrogen certification to support active market | Hydrogen

Japan pilot targets clean hydrogen from nuclear heat | Hydrogen

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) plans to produce clean hydrogen using heat from a high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor at the Oarai Nuclear Engineering Institute in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo. JAEA has applied to Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority to connect a hydrogen production facility to its high-temperature test reactor, as part of a broader effort to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as steelmaking and the chemical industry. If approved, the project could position high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology as a viable production method for low-carbon hydrogen. According to the agency, it would mark the world’s first use of a high-temperature gas reactor for hydrogen production at this scale. The process will use heat (up to 950°C) generated by the test reactor to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This method, known as thermochemical water splitting, enables… Read More »Japan pilot targets clean hydrogen from nuclear heat | Hydrogen
