UK Net Zero economy grows to £83bn | United Kingdom

The UK Net Zero economy is worth £83.1bn and 16% larger than the regional economy of the north-east, according to a new Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit report. The growing sector accounts for 951,000 full time jobs across 22,800 businesses, representing 2.9% of total UK employment. For every job supported by Net Zero businesses, a further 2.5 are supported in the wider economy, the report notes. The three largest sectors are renewable energy planning database, renewables and waste management and recycling followed by low carbon energy generation, diversion of biodegradable waste from landfill and low carbon consultancy, advisory and offsetting services. Carbon capture is the smallest segment, with 279 companies. West Midlands, Yorkshire & Humberside and south-west region are the largest contributors to the Net Zero economy while Tyne &… Read More »UK Net Zero economy grows to £83bn | United Kingdom

Hydrogen and ammonia gain from high efficiency electrolysis | Hydrogen

Ceres is developing its solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) technology for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production, citing efficiency and thermal integration benefits. Speaking in gasworld’s webinar, ‘Hydrogen and ammonia: cracking the future of clean energy’, Deepak Mistry, Strategic Business Development Director at Ceres, outlined how the company’s technology could reduce both capital and operational costs while supporting industries where electrification is not an option. Electrolyser efficiency: Cutting energy use by 30% Ceres’ SOEC technology operates in reverse from its fuel cell technology, producing hydrogen from steam with efficiencies of 37 kWh per kilogram, 30% lower energy consumption than conventional alkaline or PEM electrolysers. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Air Liquide reports €500m efficiencies in 2024 | Air Liquide

Air Liquide has strived to be a more streamlined business globally Air Liquide has strived to be a more streamlined business globally Air Liquide reported €500m in business efficiencies last year as it strived to be a more streamlined business focusing on IT and portfolio management, according to CEO Francois Jackow. Speaking on an earnings call today following the release of full year results, he said, “The objective is to reduce several layers throughout the organisation – as an example, we removed regional hubs that were supporting operations in Europe, Americas and Asia.” He added that it was going “deeper into each entity” to flatten the global organisation and expand the span of control. “The transformation is almost complete in the Americas and Asia and is well underway in Europe,” he said. … to continue… Read More »Air Liquide reports €500m efficiencies in 2024 | Air Liquide

Cracking the future of clean energy – preview | Preview

As industries look for ways to cut emissions and transition to cleaner energy, hydrogen and ammonia are being seen as key players in decarbonisation. On February 21st, gasworld’s ‘Hydrogen and Ammonia: Cracking the Future of Clean Energy’ webinar will bring together experts to discuss how these molecules are being developed, the challenges that remain, and what’s needed to scale them up globally. The discussion will cover hydrogen production, ammonia cracking, and how both can be integrated into industrial supply chains. It will also explore the infrastructure and policy changes needed to support their wider adoption. Among the speakers is Abhimanyu Singh, Senior Manager of Maritime Sales at clean energy solutions company Amogy, who will talk about ammonia’s role in reducing emissions in shipping. Amogy has been working on ammonia-based power systems for vessels, including a… Read More »Cracking the future of clean energy – preview | Preview

Air Liquide and TotalEnergies invest €1bn in Dutch green hydrogen

Air Liquide and TotalEnergies are investing over €1bn in two large-scale green hydrogen projects in the Netherlands, aiming to cut industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 450,000 metric tonnes annually. The ‘ELYgator’ project, a 200MW (megawatt) electrolyser in Rotterdam, will produce up to 23,000 tonnes of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen per year from 2027, powered by offshore wind. The second project, a 250MW electrolyser in Zeeland, will produce up to 30,000 tonnes annually under similar conditions from 2029. “These projects mark a major step in scaling up renewable hydrogen production in Europe,” said François Jackow, CEO of Air Liquide. “Hydrogen is key to decarbonising industry and heavy mobility.” Both projects will supply hydrogen to hard-to-abate industries such as refining, chemicals, and heavy transport, replacing fossil-based fuels.  … to continue reading this article and more, please… Read More »Air Liquide and TotalEnergies invest €1bn in Dutch green hydrogen

Enagás doubles down on hydrogen with €3bn bet | Hydrogen

Spanish gas grid operator Enagás plans to invest €4.035bn in renewable energy by 2030, with over three-quarters earmarked for hydrogen infrastructure. The move comes amid a slump in Spanish gas demand, prompting the company to sell assets, cut dividends, and reduce debt to reposition itself for a low-carbon future. Last year, Enagás sold its stake in Tallgrass Energy, reducing net debt by €1bn to €2.4bn, while restructuring its capital and dividend policies to prioritise renewables. During an earnings call, CEO Arturo Gonzalo spoke about the company’s changing business profile, stating, “We have strengthened our balance sheet and that gives us more headroom to roll out our hydrogen investment plan.” With falling fossil gas consumption, Enagás is shifting focus, allocating €3.125bn to hydrogen projects over the next six years. As part of its decarbonisation push, the… Read More »Enagás doubles down on hydrogen with €3bn bet | Hydrogen

Aslan to supply 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen to CalYan

Aslan Energy Capital (Aslan) will supply California’s CalYan XGH with 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually from its green hydrogen plant in Sonora, Mexico. The plans were confirmed with a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), through which Aslan will be responsible for hydrogen delivery to the Southern California board. CalYan will manage downstream distribution and infrastructure within California. Aslan hopes its Aslan Net-Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) project will be operational by 2028. The plant will harness Sonora’s abundant solar energy to power electrolysers for sustainable hydrogen production. The 35,000-hectare project, situated along the coastline of Sonora near Puerto Lobos, benefits from deepwater marine access. Muthu Chezhian, CEO of Aslan Energy Capital, said the partnership with CalYan underscores both parties’ commitment to accelerating the global energy transition and fostering sustainable development. “By combining our infrastructure expertise with… Read More »Aslan to supply 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen to CalYan

Ocean Network Express launches ammonia-ready containership | Ammonia

Scientists develop value-add hydrogen method without CO2 | Hydrogen

Scientists from Peking University in China and Cardiff University in the UK have developed a new hydrogen production method that eliminates direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while producing acetic acid, a high-value industrial chemical. The process uses a bimetallic catalyst to react bioethanol, sourced from agricultural waste, with water at 270C. This is significantly lower than the 400C to 600C typically required in conventional hydrogen production using steam methane reforming, which is energy-intensive and puts out large amounts of CO2. Instead of emitting CO2, the process also makes acetic acid, a widely used industrial chemical with an annual global consumption exceeding 15 million tonnes. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
