NASA awards hydrogen supply contracts to Air Products and Plug Power | largest liquid hydrogen storage sphere

NASA has awarded liquid hydrogen supply contracts to Plug Power and Air Products to deliver around 16,700 tonnes of fuel across its US facilities. The liquid hydrogen will be used to fuel NASA’s cryogenic rocket engines and support aeronautics and propulsion research at its centres in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Ohio. Worth a combined $147m, the contracts cover 16,560 tonnes of liquid hydrogen for Kennedy Space Centre, Cape Canaveral, Marshall, and Stennis, while Plug Power will supply the remaining 220 tonnes to the Glenn Research Centre and Armstrong Test Facility. NASA’s liquid hydrogen awards are fixed-price contracts that guarantee set quantities and prices for future deliveries. For its cryogenic rockets, the liquid hydrogen will be used with liquid oxygen as fuel. Liquid hydrogen’s ultra-cold and lightweight properties also make it important for wider aeronautics R&D.… Read More »NASA awards hydrogen supply contracts to Air Products and Plug Power | largest liquid hydrogen storage sphere

Pathways to Performance & Sustainability: APAC Conference preview | South Pacific

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is in the midst of its own twin transition, vigorously pursuing a path of increasing economic growth and trade influence on one hand while simultaneously establishing a position of decarbonisation leadership on the other. The growing question is, how sustainable are these intertwined directions of travel – and where is the intersection of challenge and opportunity? There exists a balancing act to be struck between traditional fossil-powered growth, the decarbonisation of that pathway, and the development of not only the fuels of the future but the architecture to distribute those fuels beyond borders. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!
