India government-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and a subsidiary of Singapore state-owned engineering company Sembcorp have entered into a joint venture (JV) to explore renewable energy and green hydrogen projects across India. The JV will also consider projects in green ammonia production and bunkering, emissions reduction for port operations, and other emerging green fuel technologies. The potential projects will leverage Sembcorp’s renewables experience and BPCL’s expertise in the petroleum sector and infrastructure. G Krishnakumar, Chairman & Managing Director of BPCL, said it is committed to building a robust renewable energy portfolio, with a target of 10GW, and is aiming to reach net-zero emissions by 2040. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
Once seen as the gold standard for chemical durability, PFAS-based membranes are now under pressure. With the green hydrogen sector scaling up and environmental scrutiny intensifying, developers are moving to phase out these so-called “forever chemicals” in favour of safer alternatives. New analysis from independent research group IDTechEx forecasts that the ion exchange membrane market will surpass $2.9bn annually by 2035, driven by its expanding role in electrolysers, hydrogen fuel cells and carbon capture technologies. Perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (PFAS) membranes, such as Nafion, currently dominate the market due to their high stability and performance in harsh conditions. These materials account for more than 85% of global demand in 2025. But PFAS substances are increasingly linked to health concerns, including cancer and hormone disruption, and are being targeted by regulators due to their persistence in the environment.… Read More »Research shows hydrogen and regulation is driving shift to safer membrane tech | Hydrogen
German group ABO Energy has received the green light from planning authorities to build a hydrogen production plant in Oulu, northern Finland. The plant will include an electrolyser with a maximum capacity of 600MW and could also produce methanol and sustainable aviation fuel, depending on the availability of biogenic carbon dioxide – a crucial input for e-fuel production. The first phase of the facility is expected to come online between 2034 and 2036. A final investment decision is still pending. ABO Energy also plans to utilise the plant’s waste heat for district heating in the Oulu region – the largest producer of renewable electricity in Finland and a growing centre for hydrogen development. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld Source link
