Hidrogenii switches on hydrogen liquefaction plant in Louisiana | Hydrogen

Hidrogenii, a joint venture between US green hydrogen company Plug Power and chemical manufacturing firm Olin Corporation, has turned on a 15-tonnes-per-day hydrogen liquefaction plant in St Gabriel, Louisiana. Hidrogenii was established to build and operate the facility, which is now one of the largest electrolytic hydrogen liquefaction plants in North America. The plant will liquefy hydrogen produced by Olin, enabling trailer-based shipments to customers in the US. Further down the line, its capacity will increase to process 40 tonnes of hydrogen a day. Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, described the new plant as a milestone in expanding the company’s US hydrogen network. Ken Lane, President and CEO of Olin, added, “This joint venture is consistent with Olin’s approach to build on our existing leading positions through adjacencies or bolt-ons.” Source link

UK project to produce clean hydrogen and graphene from biogas

The project will use methane extracted from sewage waste as a feedstock for hydrogen production. Levidian’s Loop device uses electromagnetic waves to split methane – the main component of biogas – into hydrogen and solid carbon. The hydrogen will be used to power an onsite generator at the facility and the captured carbon will be used to produce graphene. Graphene is a lightweight, conductive form of carbon that’s used in electronics and to strengthen composite materials such as concrete, fibres and car tyres. Levidian CEO John Hartley believes that production of such a high-value material could help address the cost barriers facing clean hydrogen. The unique molecular structure of graphene means it has exceptional properties like high tensile strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and transparency “[Clean] hydrogen … is currently being held back due to the… Read More »UK project to produce clean hydrogen and graphene from biogas

Research shows hydrogen and regulation is driving shift to safer membrane tech | Hydrogen

Once seen as the gold standard for chemical durability, PFAS-based membranes are now under pressure. With the green hydrogen sector scaling up and environmental scrutiny intensifying, developers are moving to phase out these so-called “forever chemicals” in favour of safer alternatives. New analysis from independent research group IDTechEx forecasts that the ion exchange membrane market will surpass $2.9bn annually by 2035, driven by its expanding role in electrolysers, hydrogen fuel cells and carbon capture technologies. Perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (PFAS) membranes, such as Nafion, currently dominate the market due to their high stability and performance in harsh conditions. These materials account for more than 85% of global demand in 2025.
