World Bank’s IFC maps out Nigeria CO2 storage potential | CCS

Carbon capture and storage is now firmly in energy-focused Nigeria’s sights Carbon capture and storage is now firmly in energy-focused Nigeria’s sights The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the arm of the World Bank that focuses on developing countries, has published a comprehensive atlas and report charting the steps Nigeria must take to drive its CCS industry and decarbonisation more generally. The analysis acknowledges that Nigeria is wrestling with twin challenges. It is on track to be the third most populous country in the world by 2050 – with the population projected to rise from 210 million today to 411 million – and yet, like every nation, it must meet its rising demographic and energy needs sustainably while reducing emissions. The IFC notes that carbon capture and storage (CCS), including the country’s depleted oil and gas… Read More »World Bank’s IFC maps out Nigeria CO2 storage potential | CCS

Nippon Sanso cancels US hydrogen project and announces $190m write-down | Taiyo Nippon Sanso

Global industrial gases group Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation (NSHD) has written off $190m following the cancellation of a hydrogen production plant in the US. NSHD’s decision came after a reassessment of the project’s viability. The company concluded that resuming construction, which was already paused, was no longer feasible, leading to the write-down of the plant’s value. The financial hit, however, is not expected to affect any other plans. This cancellation follows a wider trend in the industry. Air Products recently cancelled three major US hydrogen projects, resulting in a much bigger $3.1bn write-down. The company cited rising costs, regulatory challenges and concerns about the commercial viability of green hydrogen as reasons for the cancellations.

Germany’s TÜV SÜD to operate new hydrogen test hub in Scotland | Hydrogen

A new green hydrogen test facility is set to be developed in Aberdeen, Scotland. German-headquartered certification and testing firm TÜV SÜD has been appointed operator under a collaboration agreement with UK-based ETZ, which is leading the facility’s development. The Green Hydrogen Test and Demonstration Facility (GHTDF), located in the south of the city within the Energy Transition Zone, is expected to launch in early 2027. It will serve as the flagship site of Aberdeen’s Hydrogen Campus, offering open-access infrastructure to test hydrogen technologies including electrolysers, valves and meters. TÜV SÜD will run the facility with a remit to support the safe and reliable scale-up of green hydrogen production and use. A final investment decision is expected in early 2026. Martin McCormack, Director for CCUS and Hydrogen at ETZ, described the appointment of TÜV SÜD as… Read More »Germany’s TÜV SÜD to operate new hydrogen test hub in Scotland | Hydrogen

Japan firms bring interest and expertise to India green ammonia project | Ammonia

India and Japan are strengthening their value chain links India and Japan are strengthening their value chain links Six leading Japanese firms with an eye on building an international green ammonia value chain have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore investment opportunities in a production project in Odisha, eastern India. IHI Corporation, Hokkaido Electric Power Co., Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), Mizuho Bank, and Tokyo Century Corporation are exploring the opportunity to develop a facility with renewable energy company ACME Group by 2030. It would produce around 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually which could be exported to Japan to serve its power generation companies and chemical manufacturers. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Europe allocates €5bn to Germany for hydrogen and CCUS | Germany

The European Commission has approved €5bn funding for Germany to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in its industrial production processes through hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and electrification. The funding, approved under EU state aid rules, aims to help companies meet EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) targets and will take the form of two-way carbon contracts for difference, called ‘Climate Protection Contracts’, with a 15-year duration. The projects supported under the scheme, which will be selected through an open bidding process, will range from the replacement of traditional steel production processes by hydrogen direct reduction processes to fuel switches in the cement and lime sector to electrification in the chemical sector. To qualify, interventions will need to achieve a 60% emission reduction in three years and a 90% emission reduction by the end of… Read More »Europe allocates €5bn to Germany for hydrogen and CCUS | Germany

Aramco secures half share of Air Products Qudra’s blue hydrogen subsidiary | Hydrogen

Energy and chemicals company Aramco has acquired a 50% stake in Air Products Qudra’s (APQ’s) blue hydrogen subsidiary in Saudi Arabia, Blue Hydrogen Industrial Gases Company (BHIG). BHIG has plans to produce blue hydrogen, produced with carbon capture, at Aramco’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites in the Jubail Industrial City area, offering hydrogen at scale. Ashraf Al Ghazzawi, Aramco Executive Vice-President of Strategy and Corporate Development, said the network could help the venture to capitalise on emerging opportunities in Saudi and globally. Reportedly the agreement also includes an option for Aramco to offtake nitrogen and hydrogen from BHIG. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
