Hydrogen Council in Collaboration with McKinsey and Company Releases the Global Hydrogen Flows Report – EQ Mag Pro
Authored by the Hydrogen Council in collaboration with McKinsey and Company, Global Hydrogen Flows addresses the midstream challenge of aligning and optimizing global supply and demand. It finds that trade can reduce overall system costs. In doing so, it provides a perspective on how the global trade of hydrogen and derivatives, including hydrogen carriers, ammonia, […]
Fortescue forges ahead on massive hydrogen electrolyzer for “world first” green ammonia plant – EQ Mag Pro
Fortescue Future Industries is moving ahead on plans to deliver Australia’s first commercial-scale renewable ammonia plant via a “world-first” conversion of an existing Queensland production facility to run on green hydrogen. FFI and Incitec Pivot Limited (IPL) said on Friday they would progress planning for the conversion of the Gibson Island ammonia facility, in Brisbane, […]
World’s biggest hydrogen plant could power Australia’s first fully decarbonised ammonia facility in Brisbane – EQ Mag Pro
Australia’s first large scale project to decarbonise an existing ammonia plant using renewable hydrogen is set to get underway, with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) supporting a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study at Brisbane’s Gibson Island. On behalf of the Australian Government, ARENA has today announced $13.7 million in funding to Fortescue Future […]
EU approves €130m funding for BASF renewable hydrogen project – EQ Mag Pro
“Direct grant” to support installation of large-scale electrolyser at Ludwigshafen site Brussels : The European Commission has approved a €135-million funding, by the German government, for BASF’s project to produce renewable hydrogen at its Ludwigshafen headquarters by 2025. “This €134 million measure enables Germany to help BASF step up its renewable hydrogen production capacities, thereby […]
Green hydrogen sounds like a win for developing countries. But cost and transport are problems – EQ Mag Pro
Johhanesburg : Hydrogen is used mainly to make chemicals such as fertiliser, and in oil refineries. Most hydrogen in the world today is made from natural gas or coal – methods associated with large carbon dioxide emissions. Developed countries are therefore looking to “green hydrogen” instead – produced using renewable electricity such as solar and […]
Clean Hydrogen: A long-awaited solution for hard-to-abate sectors – EQ Mag Pro
New research in Nature Energy models the value of clean hydrogen in decarbonizing heavy industries/heavy transport One of the world’s biggest climate challenges is decarbonizing fossil energy uses that cannot be directly electrified using renewable power. Among these so-called “hard-to-abate” (HTA) sectors are major industries that rely on fossil fuels, either for high-temperature energy or […]
EU approves German measure to support BASF production of renewable hydrogen – EQ Mag Pro
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €134 million German measure to support BASF SE (‘BASF’) in the production of renewable hydrogen, with the aims of decarbonising its chemical production processes and of promoting hydrogen use in the transport sector. The measure contributes to the achievement of the EU Hydrogen Strategy […]
India’s First Green Hydrogen Fueling Station Likely To Be Commissioned In Leh By May Next Year – EQ Mag Pro
India’s first green hydrogen fueling station likely to be commissioned in Leh by May next year The first-of-its-kind project is being set up by state-run NTPC. The power generator had awarded the contract for the project to Amara Raja Power Systems, part of the $1.3 billion Amara Raja Group, in June. “We have already started […]
A New Design For Faster Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag Pro
Australian researchers have announced a new design for solid-state hydrogen storage. Compressed gas is the most common form of hydrogen storage, however it can also be stored in a liquid or solid state. “Metal hydride hydrogen storage technology is ideal for onsite hydrogen production from renewable electrolysis” Hydrogen is gaining significant attention as an efficient […]
