UK-based ITM Power has unveiled a 50MW green hydrogen plant blueprint to enable more scalable and cost-effective hydrogen production. The Alpha 50 plant – priced at €50m – can be skid-mounted, prefabricated and standardised to reduce costs and aims to produce high-purity hydrogen at 30 bar pressure. CEO Dennis Schulz said it was time to “disrupt” how large-scale projects are deployed and Alpha 50 would set a new standard for execution at scale. Large-scale hydrogen production faces challenges including high energy input, high costs, and the need for new infrastructure for production and transportation. Existing methods like steam methane reforming are carbon-intensive, while green hydrogen production via electrolysis requires large amounts of renewable energy and faces high costs, even with advancing technology. Other challenges involve developing efficient and cost-effective storage and transportation methods, ensuring safety due… Read More »ITM Power unveils modular 50MW green hydrogen plant to drive scale | Hydrogen
UK-based technology developer Immaterial has developed a new type of metal-organic framework (MOF) that is more effective than existing MOF technology and can be used for hydrogen storage. Spun out of the UK’s University of Cambridge in 2015, Immaterial has created monolithic MOFs, or m-MOFs. These m-MOFs have been shown to be highly effective at capturing carbon dioxide at lower cost than traditional methods. The m-MOF advantage versus MOF powders lies in is the volumetric capacity: that is, the amount of gas that can be stored per unit volume. Twice as much material, for example captured carbon dioxide, can fit in an m-MOF container compared with pellets. “With [m-MOFs we] can reach carbon dioxide purity levels above 95% and recovery above 95%,” said David Fairen-Jimenez, professor at the University of Cambridge and founder of Immaterial.… Read More »Solid MOF tech ‘can deliver as storage option,’ says UK developer | Technology Gas News
