Does Panasonic’s integrated in-house model hold the key to industrial transition? | Hydrogen

© Panasonic / The Cardiff plant demonstrates the potential of integrating different renewable energy sources © Panasonic / The Cardiff plant demonstrates the potential of integrating different renewable energy sources There hasn’t been a great deal of Christmas cheer surrounding hydrogen, nor for that matter, most of 2024. Regulatory, cost and offtake pressures have combined to give the impression that it’s been a lost year. While these broader issues remain stubbornly difficult to overcome, the perception is inaccurate as there has been tangible progress – a fact that was underlined only last week by Panasonic opening its HX Renewble Energy Demonstration facility in Cardiff, south Wales. Panasonic was faced with issues common to many manufacturers, principally how best to turn a 50-year-old legacy plant into a modern, renewables-focused operation. It considered the different technologies and… Read More »Does Panasonic’s integrated in-house model hold the key to industrial transition? | Hydrogen

Hot topic: Green steel | Special features

Can recent momentum be maintained to make a meaningful dent in emissions? It is clear that companies investing in low-carbon production technologies and mastering new processes now will be better positioned to meet future demand for decarbonised steel products. This explains why activity is now ramping up globally. Masdar and EMSTEEL recently announced the production of the first green steel in the Middle East, in a pilot project in Abu Dhabi using green hydrogen, while thyssenkrupp Steel and Volkswagen Group signed an MoU for the supply of carbon dioxide (CO2) reduced steel from a direct reduction plant that is scheduled to open in 2027 and will be powered by hydrogen and green electricity. The plant will initially be ramped up using natural gas as a reducing agent and will gradually be converted to hydrogen. H2 Green… Read More »Hot topic: Green steel | Special features

Combine energy sources and locations to yield green hydrogen savings | Hydrogen

Combining diverse renewable energy sources and locations may hold the key to unlocking green hydrogen’s potential, according to new research. In a co-authored paper, EWI researcher Jun.-Prof. Dr. Oliver Runhau analysed how green hydrogen produced through electrolysis powered by renewable electricity can benefit from a ‘diverse portfolio’ of renewable energy generators. Such a portfolio, combining renewable generators of multiple locations and technologies, allows for a smoother electricity generation profile, which could help achieve compliance with strict emerging regulatory standards at lower costs, the research found. Combining two locations within Germany, for example, can already yield cost savings in the range of 3-8%, and that may increase up to 21% for a nationwide portfolio. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link

Aramco and Gulf Cryo to test low-carbon hydrogen and CCU at SPARK | Decarbonisation

Aramco and Gulf Cryo have joined forces to establish a testing facility for lower-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies at the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) in Saudi Arabia. The partnership will see Aramco’s newly developed technologies tested at Gulf Cryo’s recently launched Applications and Technologies Center (ATC) in SPARK. The pilot and pre-commercial scale assessments are intended to advance these technologies towards broader deployment, aligning with Aramco’s Net Zero goals for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its wholly owned operated assets by 2050. “This collaboration is important in advancing our early-stage technologies to the next phase of development, which will help create a local ecosystem for accelerating technology deployment leveraging in-kingdom talent and infrastructure,” said Ali A. Al-Meshari, Senior Vice President of Technology Oversight and Coordination (TOC)… Read More »Aramco and Gulf Cryo to test low-carbon hydrogen and CCU at SPARK | Decarbonisation

CGI Gases embraces hydrogen growth | Features

Molly Burgess sits down with Sunny Punj, Chief Operating Officer at CGI Gases, to discuss how the company is moving beyond its industrial gas roots to embrace a future in hydrogen. CGI Gases is making headway in the hydrogen market and recently announced plans to develop a $60m hydrogen plant in Massillon, Ohio, with a production capacity of up to five tons per day. The industrial gas distributor, with a headquarters in Washington, Pennsylvania, has partnered with US energy and technology company Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) on the venture and is targeting a start-up date of 2026. A less than two-year turnaround is tight, but the pair are confident it can happen.  … to continue reading you must be subscribed Source link

Clearing hurdles to decarbonisation | Special features

© COP29 / Decarbonisation was firmly in the spotlight at Baku last month © COP29 / Decarbonisation was firmly in the spotlight at Baku last month Deep in the complex depths of decarbonisation is a simple unalterable truth: we need to reduce carbon emissions faster to reach Net Zero targets. Until we collectively sign up to accelerating renewable technologies – as governments, industries and consumers – then the wheels of change are not going to move fast enough to implement an effective transition. Amid a range of market and industry challenges to enacting green-led economies, a two-track narrative is taking hold: renewables are actively being courted while we continue to extract fossil fuels ahead of all the newer technologies reaching suitable scale. It is being positioned as a ‘pragmatic’ solution, albeit one that doesn’t placate… Read More »Clearing hurdles to decarbonisation | Special features

Hydrogen challenges are coming into focus | Features

In November, and just a few hours after the Republicans impending return to the White House was confirmed, the professional consultancy Wood Mackenzie hosted a two-day hydrogen conference next to St Paul’s Cathedral in London. It brought together a range of industry stakeholders and analysts to reflect on the state of play in the still-nascent low-carbon hydrogen market. Christian Annesley shares some insights and talking points  Blue hydrogen ‘looks stronger with Trump win’ – Wood Mackenzie The nascent hydrogen market could skew more towards blue rather than green hydrogen in the next few years, with Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election changing the calculus around the potential trajectory of US public policy. The assessment comes from Murray Douglas, Vice-President and Head of Hydrogen Research at the analyst group and professional consultancy Wood Mackenzie,… Read More »Hydrogen challenges are coming into focus | Features

Constellation and CSIRO to explore natural hydrogen and helium in Western Australia | Helium

Constellation Resources Limited has signed a research agreement with Australia’s national science agency CSIRO to search for natural helium and hydrogen in Western Australia. Initially, the joint effort will focus on Constellation’s two basin-scale Edmund Collier and Yerrida projects. This will include CSIRO scientists evaluating several available datasets, which could identify the presence of gas. The project is part funded by CSIRO’s kick-start programme, an initiative that provides funding and support for Australian start-ups with research expertise and capabilities. Results from the initial work will support Constellation’s planned soil and gas sampling programmes, which could commence in early 2025, subject to completion of land access clearances. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
