Alfa Laval has signed an agreement to deliver compact heat exchangers to the world’s largest green hydrogen plant, which is to be constructed in the Middle East. The facility, powered by renewable energy, will be part of the city of Neom, built from scratch in the northwestern desert, with the ambition of establishing a new model for sustainable living.
Cement Australia (CA), a Holcim and Heidelberg Materials joint venture company – (Head Office: Darra, Queensland; CEO: Rob Davies), and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) – (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Masashi Fujii) have signed a memorandum of understanding to study the manufacture and sale of green methanol made from carbon dioxide (CO2) captured at CA’s Gladstone plant and green hydrogen using MGC’s newly developed green methanol production technology.
A decommissioned Airbus A320 is being given a new lease of life in the service of science. The Hydrogen Aviation Lab, Hamburg’s new field laboratory for testing maintenance and ground processes for future hydrogen-powered aircraft, was unveiled today.
Recently, the Hydrotug arrived in the port of Ostend. Here, the first hydrogen-powered tugboat will be further finished with the hydrogen system. Ostend was chosen because the tug can use the hydrogen bunkering facilities of CMB.TECH’s Hydrocat 48 there.
In its trading update this week ITM Power announced that it has suffered manufacturing issues including delays in finalising the tooling and testing of these stacks, but at the same time it announced that it has made encouraging technological progress with the development of its 2MW MEP 2.0 stack.
Hydrogen gas could someday replace fossil fuels as a “clean” energy source, producing only water and energy. However, handling large quantities of gaseous hydrogen is cumbersome, and converting it to a liquid requires vessels that can withstand extremely high pressures. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have developed a method to store and release highly pure hydrogen with salts in the presence of amino acids.
The Van Kessel Group from The Netherlands aims to become a leading player in the distribution of hydrogen to refilling stations. For this purpose the Dutch company has put 2 hydrogen trailers into use. Van Kessel will use the trailers for the supply of hydrogen to its own refilling stations and to those of third parties.
DNV has been appointed by Elenergy Co Ltd, a Korean renewable energy development company, as owner’s engineer for its 1.5 GW fixed-bottom Chujin offshore wind project.
Following its launch last week, the first 105kVA Tecnogen/PUNCH Hydrogen-Flywheel Generator has been purchased by John F Hunt Power.
In collaboration with leading environmental groups and public/private stakeholders, the 52-page report provides blueprint for decarbonization of the maritime transportation and goods movement in LA.
