European green hydrogen production company Lhyfe has made its first delivery of renewable hydrogen in the Netherlands, supplying Essent – the country’s largest energy supplier. The hydrogen will enable the GROHW project, which is an initiative in the Deventer region that aims to produce green hydrogen for various local applications, including hybrid heat pumps for office heating and industrial burners. Waste heat and oxygen generated from hydrogen production will also be reused. Lhyfe will provide renewable hydrogen to Essent under a multi-year supply contract, first referenced in the company’s 2024 half-year results. “The first delivery to Essent marks the kick-off of our commercial activity in the Netherlands – a priority market for us – in the best possible way,” said Luc Graré, Head of Central & Eastern Europe at Lhyfe. The GROHW project is a… Read More »Lhyfe delivers first batch of green hydrogen in the Netherlands | Hydrogen
An EU-funded project has launched the continent’s first magnetocaloric pilot plant which could reduce hydrogen liquefaction costs to below €1.50 per kilo. The pilot, developed with HyLical by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and startup Magnotherm, may pave the way for large-scale industrial applications. Magnetic cooling technology represents a new type of climate-friendly and energy-efficient power, without compressors and environmentally harmful refrigerant gases. The magnetocaloric effect occurs when materials with certain properties – such as lanthanum-iron-silicon alloy (LaFeSi) – are placed in a magnetic field. Depending on the orientation of the magnetic moments, the metallic materials can cause a sudden drop or rise in temperature. Using this principle, it is possible to cool hydrogen to –253°C after pre-cooling with liquid nitrogen. This triggers liquefaction. Dr Tino Gottschall, scientist at HZDR’s High Magnetic Field Laboratory Dresden (HLD), has… Read More »EU-funded pilot project claims hydrogen liquefaction breakthrough | Hydrogen
