Torghatten Nord argued that the hydrogen ferryboats will have ripple effects for Norway's hydrogen and maritime industries. The firm sees substantial possibilities for the shipyard and equipment industry.

Energy company Royal Dutch Shell has started procedures at the power-to-hydrogen electrolyzer in Zhangjiakou, China, a joint venture in between Shell (China) and also Zhangjiakou City Transport Construction Investment Holding Group, the Anglo-Dutch firm wrote on Friday. The electrolyzer will supposedly give about fifty percent of the overall green hydrogen supply for fuel cell vehicles at the Zhangjiakou competitors zone during this year's Winter months Olympic Gamings, set to start on February 4. Shell looks readied to make further investments in China's hydrogen market. "We see chances across the hydrogen supply chain in China, including its production, storage space and also shipping. We want to be the trusted partner for our customers from various markets as we help them decarbonise in China," commented Wael Sawan, director of Shell's Integrated Gas, Renewable and Energy Solutions system. The firms, which took 13 months to finish the project, have plans to scale the power-to-hydrogen electrolyzer up to 60 MW in the next 2 years. Using onshore wind power, the project will at first provide green hydrogen to fuel a fleet of greater than 600 fuel cell automobiles at the Zhangjiakou competitors zone throughout the Winter season Olympic Games. Afterwards, the hydrogen will be made use of for public and industrial transport in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Green Hydrogen Systems, a company of pressurized alkaline electrolyzers used in on-site hydrogen production based upon sustainable electrical power, has actually authorized a supply contract with Edinburgh-based Logan Energy to provide electrolysis devices for a project in England. The order consists of the supply of 2 electrolyzers with a combined capacity of 0.9 MW for the manufacturing of green hydrogen from renewable energy. "Produced by Green Hydrogen Systems as well as run by Logan Energy, the electrolysers will be released in a 40 ft container as a total green hydrogen plant as part of plans to create a regional hydrogen economy in Dorset, England," Green Hydrogen Systems created on Tuesday. When totally operational during Q4 of 2022, the bought electrolyzers will reportedly have the capacity to supply about 389 kg green hydrogen per day.

Vertex Hydrogen, a brand-new joint venture in between Essar and also Progressive Energy focused on hydrogen in North West England and North Wales, submitted plans to build the UK's initial reduced carbon hydrogen production center as part of the government's Cluster Sequencing process. "The hub, which will certainly be built at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, includes technology that will certainly catch co2 (CO2) exhausts to produce low carbon hydrogen. CO2 discharges will certainly be stored offshore in Liverpool Bay," composed the company on Wednesday. The hydrogen generated by the HyNet reduced carbon cluster will certainly replace fossil fuels in industry, heating residences, and fueling transport throughout the North West England and also North Wales. Vertex's hydrogen plant will begin manufacturing in 2026, supposedly creating over 1 GW of hydrogen. Waste fuel gases from Essar Stanlow, and natural gas, will certainly be transformed by Vertex Hydrogen into hydrogen, with co2 safely recorded as well as kept by HyNet partner Eni, described Vortex.

The Welsh federal government awarded financing to renewables installer and also consultancy Dulas to consider the feasibility of hydrogen production in Wales using renewable resource sources. The four-month project, called HyFEAS, will include the examination of readily available innovations and also assessment of the technical and commercial expediency of hydrogen production.

German-based hydrogen technology company H-TEC will supply Westnetz with 2 1 MW electrolysis systems for the CEC Haren GmbH & Co. KG project Green H2-Hub Haren in the town of Haren in Lower Saxony. The research and development project is intended to make it possible for the establishment of a wind-powered decentralized hydrogen facility.
