SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall’s HYBRIT pilot facility for the storage of fossil-free hydrogen gas is now in operation in Luleå. The rock cavern storage facility is the first of its kind in the world for storing fossil-free hydrogen gas. The two-year test period will now start and continue until 2024, which means that HYBRIT has … Continue reading Facility for hydrogen storage up and running

Wind Energy to Hydrogen: the next big ‘thing’
Countries around the globe are actively looking to lower carbon emissions and transition national energy systems away from fossil fuels. As the world mobilizes to combat climate change and build a sustainable new energy future, wind energy and hydrogen are at the top of the new-energy list in regions like Newfoundland, Canada. WIND TO HYDROGEN … Continue reading Wind Energy to Hydrogen: the next big ‘thing’

How does a wind farm make hydrogen?
It’s all about separating the Hs in H2O. But the key is using green energy to do it. Nobody sees a wind turbine and thinks, “Just look at that hydrogen farm!” But the massive wind-energy project being planned in Stephenville is exactly that, or even more accurately, an ammonia farm. The project features 164 wind turbines that would … Continue reading How does a wind farm make hydrogen?

Hydrogen could change the way we fuel our lives
Last week, Canada signed a major energy project with Germany that, once built, will transform the windswept Port au Port peninsula in western Newfoundland and Labrador into a hydrogen-producing energy powerhouse. The first phase of the project involves the construction of 164 new wind turbines in one of the windiest corners of the country. The … Continue reading Hydrogen could change the way we fuel our lives
Continue readingHydrogen projects receive political support
On the occasion of signing a German-Canadian hydrogen agreement in Stephenville, Newfoundland, Germany’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck and Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson learned about ABO Wind projects in Canada. Both countries want to end the dependence on fossil resources and fight climate change with hydrogen from renewable … Continue reading Hydrogen projects receive political support
Continue readingWorld readies for green hydrogen
Hydrogen has been with us forever but with a much lower profile than oil and gas, coal, electricity and other energy sources. But that is changing. Hydrogen, which powered the first internal combustion engine more than 200 years ago, has become an integral part of the modern refining industry: It’s light, storable, energy-dense, and produces … Continue reading World readies for green hydrogen

The expansion of green hydrogen
Green hydrogen operations are expanding even further as governments pump millions into the development of the sector. While the rise of green hydrogen production across Europe has been well documented, some European countries are investing even more heavily in the industry, as other projects are popping up in more unexpected regions, such as Latin America … Continue reading The expansion of green hydrogen

The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects
Green hydrogen production projects are flexible enough to adapt to all the challenges of the energy transition. From taking advantage of the surpluses of a wind energy or photovoltaic energy power plants to avoid curtailments, to continuously producing hydrogen for industry and transport or for seasonal energy storage. Of course, grants and clear regulation are … Continue reading The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects

Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction
The invasion of Ukraine has shown that reliance on Russian natural gas is an unstable strategy for Europe. Hydrogen power is one tool that could help. In late February, Russia announced that it would send troops into two regions of eastern Ukraine — a precursor to its full-scale invasion days later. Hours after Russia’s announcement, … Continue reading Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction
Continue readingHow Clean Is Green’ Hydrogen?
Batteries and renewable energy alone can’t decarbonize industries, and recent proposals for a “hydrogen economy” could bridge those gaps. The Democrats’ new climate bill, which the US Senate passed on Sunday, has been described as “transformative” and “game-changing.” But perhaps the most apt word is “shocking”—in a good way, for once. According to analysis after … Continue reading How Clean Is Green’ Hydrogen?

Hydrogen: A targeted decarbonization tool but not a panacea
Hydrogen has the potential to help decarbonize many of the sectors and applications that depend on emissions-intensive fossil fuels, including fossil gas. Clean hydrogen[i] projects are therefore increasingly talked about and also piloted in several countries to support their decarbonization goals. Hydrogen is expected to be an important piece of the clean technology toolkit as … Continue reading Hydrogen: A targeted decarbonization tool but not a panacea

Brazil had 4 projects mapped in 2021, among 990 in the world, CNI study shows. A study by the CNI (National Confederation of Industry) points out that sustainable hydrogen is one of the most promising solutions for the future of energy and represents a great opportunity for Brazilian industry to decarbonize, that is, drastically reduce … Continue reading Brazil can adopt green hydrogen

The facility in Xinjiang will use renewable energy to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which can then be liquefied and used as fuel. The facility should help to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by around 500,000 tonnes a year. The project in Kuqa in the south of the region uses … Continue reading China building world’s largest green hydrogen plant

Equinor’s H2H Saltend selected to proceed as one of the first large-scale hydrogen projects in the UK
Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) announced that Equinor’s Hydrogen to Humber Saltend (H2H Saltend) production facility has been successfully progressed through Phase-2 of the Government’s cluster sequencing process. The selected projects will now proceed to the due diligence stage of the Phase-2 cluster sequencing process to allow them to connect to the … Continue reading Equinor’s H2H Saltend selected to proceed as one of the first large-scale hydrogen projects in the UK

Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
Hydrogen has emerged as the great white (or green) hope of the clean energy transition due to its potential use in decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like shipping, steel production, and even transport. These sectors are tricky to electrify. Cargo ships for example, can’t necessarily recharge battery supply in the middle of the ocean, and cutting emissions … Continue reading Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
