Indian green energy firm to explore SAF project with Honeywell | Methanol & e-fuels

Renewable energy specialist NTPC Green Energy has partnered with the gas processing technology licensor Honeywell UOP India to explore production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in India. Under a memorandum of understanding signed on 25 April, the partners will assess how Honeywell’s eFining technology can produce SAF using green hydrogen and carbon dioxide captured from power plants operated by NTPC, which is India’s largest power utility company and the parent company of NTPC Green Energy. The project is part of NTPC Green Energy’s green hydrogen hub project at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh – a 1,200 acre facility that will produce green chemicals using sustainable manufacturing methods. The company aims to complete the first hub by 2027 and most of the second one by 2032. “This partnership … supports our goal of reaching a renewable energy… Read More »Indian green energy firm to explore SAF project with Honeywell | Methanol & e-fuels

Air Liquide ‘investing as planned’ on $850m Texas air gases project | large modular air separation units

Industrial gas major Air Liquide has said it remains confident about the status of its commitment to build, own, and operate four large modular air separation units for the ExxonMobil low-carbon hydrogen project that is planned for Baytown, Texas, in the US. On the company’s latest earnings call, Adam Peters, CEO for Air Liquide North America, said the $850m project was moving forward as planned, with $275m of capital spend now committed. “Our confidence [in the project and its progress] remains very strong,” said Peters. “We have followed probably 25 different projects along the [US] Gulf Coast that are related to ammonia. And this one [led by ExxonMobil] has the fundamentals and the partners and the like that make it among the strongest. It [also] has the scale.” … to continue reading you must be… Read More »Air Liquide ‘investing as planned’ on $850m Texas air gases project | large modular air separation units

TotalEnergies ramps up green hydrogen and SAF in Belgium | Energy News

Global energy company TotalEnergies has unveiled plans to increase investments in green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its petrochemical refining site in Antwerp, Belgium. The company will also phase out its oldest steam cracker at the site by the end of 2027 in response to changing market conditions, including a “significant surplus” of ethylene in Europe and the non-renewal of a third-party contract. The moves will allow TotalEnergies to rely on its newer steam cracker, which supplies ethylene for its own polymer production units in Antwerp and Feluy. “By adapting and investing regularly in our Antwerp site, we’re securing its long-term future and ensuring that this integrated … platform remains [our] most efficient in Europe,” said Ann Veraverbeke, Managing Director of TotalEnergies Antwerp. TotalEnergies is also accelerating decarbonisation at the site through a… Read More »TotalEnergies ramps up green hydrogen and SAF in Belgium | Energy News

Messer tees up €2.45bn of long-term funds for future projects | Finance

Messer has secured €2.45bn ($2.63bn) in long-term financing to support its growth strategy, following a strong full-year performance at the privately owned industrial gas major. The funding includes €1.3bn ($1.4bn) from private placements and €1.15bn ($1.23bn) in promissory notes arranged in 2024. Proceeds were used to fully refinance loans related to the 2019 Messer Industries acquisition, with the company also reporting lower financing costs as a result. After capital expenditure of around €900m ($970m) during the year, Messer ended 2024 with approximately €500m ($540m) in cash, plus net debt of €3.6bn ($3.87bn). The refinancing supports the company’s ongoing infrastructure investments, including a recently announced €60m ($64m) air separation unit at North Sea Port in Belgium. Scheduled to begin operations in 2026, the facility will supply nitrogen, oxygen and argon to industrial customers in the Benelux… Read More »Messer tees up €2.45bn of long-term funds for future projects | Finance

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

Oman and Netherlands firm up liquid hydrogen corridor | Hydrogen

Oman and the Netherlands are to press ahead with developing a liquid hydrogen trade corridor, two years after a joint study agreement was signed to explore its potential. Under the new joint development agreement, the sultanate will look to export liquid hydrogen from Duqm port to the Port of Amsterdam for use in the Netherlands and Germany. Hydrogen is to be shipped using cryogenic technologies developed by technology and UAE supply chain company Ecolog. State-owned Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) will oversee the project’s alignment with Oman’s wider hydrogen plans, with OQ Group expected to develop a liquid hydrogen terminal in Duqm. Hydrom has awarded eight projects in just two years – with a potential 1.2 million tonnes of green hydrogen expected to be produced annually. In Europe, local players will look to establish hydrogen regasification terminals… Read More »Oman and Netherlands firm up liquid hydrogen corridor | Hydrogen

Consortium and partner advance ‘pivotal’ hydrogen tank project at NASA | Hydrogen

Global engineering firm CB&I and a consortium including Shell, GenH2, and the University of Houston have developed a large-scale, non-vacuum liquid hydrogen storage tank concept for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The first-of-its-kind 100,000 cubic metre tank will expand MSFC’s liquid hydrogen storage capacity. It will also support research on material behaviour in cryogenic conditions, simulating typical fill and empty cycles and testing insulation systems that don’t require a vacuum. The concept is first undergoing a six-month evaluation using a small-scale demonstration tank to assess feasibility and potential improvements. James Fesmir, Chief Architect at hydrogen infrastructure firm GenH2, said the initiative has helped build testing capabilities for thermal insulation and is generating critical data for advancing global hydrogen use. The project now taking full shape first started in 2021 and is being supported by… Read More »Consortium and partner advance ‘pivotal’ hydrogen tank project at NASA | Hydrogen

Air Products downgraded as marquee hydrogen projects ‘carry elevated risk’ | cited broader macroeconomic pressures affecting

In a blow to Air Products’ new management, shares in the industrial gas major have been downgraded by analysts at Bank of America to Underperform from a previous investment rating of Neutral. The downgrade reflects heightened uncertainty around the financial viability and timing of three major clean hydrogen projects in Saudi Arabia (NEOM), Louisiana and Alberta. Tariffs and weakened climate policy could inflate capital costs and delay timelines, particularly for NEOM and Louisiana, the bank said. … to continue reading you must be subscribed Source link
