A $70 million green hydrogen project which features the tallest wind turbines in the country can move forward in South Taranaki after the High Court dismissed an appeal against its resource consent.
Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Channel Infrastructure’s study into the potential feasibility of green hydrogen production at Channel’s Marsden Point site is progressing, with the next phase, focussed on manufacturing supply for the domestic market, expected to be finalised in the first half of 2023.
Hysata has today welcomed Dr Alan Finkel AC as Chair of the company’s new Global Advisory Council where he will counsel Hysata on bringing its technology to market.
Hexagon Purus, a world leading supplier of zero emission mobility solutions, has entered into a four-year supply agreement with CaetanoBus as their preferred supplier of hydrogen fuel systems for serially produced fuel-cell transit buses. Hexagon Purus is already a supplier to CaetanoBus and has delivered several hydrogen fuel systems. This agreement further formalizes and cements the relationship between the two partners.
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.
