Hydrogen projects work best through partnership, says Fabrum founder | implement dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen systems

The challenge to deliver hydrogen as an energy carrier is often thwarted by its cryogenic value chain, by one New Zealand company says it has found a strong formula for real-world success. Fabrum, based in Christchurch in New Zealand, stands out because its suite of smart technologies is able to work as a package to deliver on real-world projects, and in that sense it is showing others the way ahead. “For some hydrogen projects, we can provide just about everything [in the value chain] – and that is a compelling proposition for our partners,” said Executive Chairman Christopher Boyle. Boyle said hydrogen was not a panacea for all future energy needs, but a great fit for certain applications. … to continue reading you must be subscribed Source link

India poised to launch first hydrogen-powered train | Hydrogen

India’s first hydrogen-fuelled train is set to be launched later this month by the Ministry of Railways, marking a major step in the country’s transition towards cleaner transportation. Manufactured by Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF), the hydrogen train is part of India’s broader push for zero-emission mobility. The Ministry of Railways has allocated Rs 2,800 crore ($337m) in the 2023-24 fiscal year to develop 35 hydrogen fuel cell-based trains as part of its green energy initiatives.   The first train is expected to roll out by March 25, according to U Subba Rao, General Manager at ICF. “We are working on the flagship project for the Hydrogen Fuel Cell train set. Hydrogen fuel cell coaches are currently being produced at ICF,” he stated.   India has also developed what it claims is the world’s most powerful hydrogen… Read More »India poised to launch first hydrogen-powered train | Hydrogen

Major European transport hub orders high-capacity hydrogen station | Hydrogen

France-based hydrogen refuelling specialist HRS has secured a contract to supply a high-capacity hydrogen station capable of compressing four tonnes of hydrogen per day. The order, placed by an unnamed major player in the sector, is expected to support public transport decarbonisation in a major European city. Set to be operational by early 2026, the HRS160 station will be one of the largest hydrogen refuelling infrastructures in Europe. Designed to support continuous daily refuelling, it is slated to feature a compression capacity of 160kg of hydrogen per hour and six distribution terminals. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Swedish pilot proves hydrogen storage can cut cost of fossil-free steelmaking | Hydrogen

HYBRIT, a joint initiative in Sweden by the steelmaker SSAB, mining company LKAB, and energy provider Vattenfall, has successfully completed a hydrogen storage pilot and submitted findings to the Swedish Energy Agency. The results confirm that large-scale, fossil-free hydrogen storage is technically viable and could lower production costs by up to 40%. Launched in 2016, HYBRIT aims to develop the world’s first fossil-free, ore-based steelmaking process using hydrogen. Its latest phase has been focused on hydrogen production and storage to support large-scale industrial operations. Steel production accounts for around 7% to 9% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, largely due to reliance on coal in blast furnaces. Fossil-free hydrogen could eliminate nearly all CO2 emissions from the steelmaking process, potentially cutting over two tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel produced, according to the International… Read More »Swedish pilot proves hydrogen storage can cut cost of fossil-free steelmaking | Hydrogen

Europe unveils carbon labels, PPA investment and hydrogen plans | Europe

Europe has unveiled a raft of measures to boost clean industrial growth Europe has unveiled a raft of measures to boost clean industrial growth The Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act will develop a voluntary label on the carbon intensity of industrial products, the European Commission confirmed today. The announcement, coinciding with the release of the comprehensive Clean Industrial Deal, aims to avoid duplication and will be based on a simple methodology with ETS data and CBAM methodology, and a detailed CBAM review report will be issued in in the second half of the year. In the interests of speed, the Commission will start with steel in 2025. A label for cement will be created under the Construction Products Regulation and a standardisation request will be lodged shortly. Such labels will allow industrial producers to distinguish the… Read More »Europe unveils carbon labels, PPA investment and hydrogen plans | Europe

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
