Solar to Fuel. Hydrogen production from solar energy

Contract with European Energy will certainly see project powered by close-by 300MW solar site

Parent company Man Energy Solutions to spend EUR500m to transform the hydrogen professional

French fuels representative Rubis SCA (EPA: RUI) is getting a 51% stake in a solar-plus-green hydrogen and also battery project established by hydrogen energy specialist Hydrogene de France SA (EPA: HDF) in Barbados.

Norwegian eco-friendly power manufacturer Scatec ASA (OSL: SCATC) and its companions have actually gotten government authorization to discover the temporary procurement of electrical power from the grid for a green hydrogen plant that will be constructed in Egypt.

Hydrogen leaders Verdagy-- from "verde" for green, and "agy" for power-- raised $25 million from a fistful of strategic investors in the power market in a bid to take a messy, not-that-environmentally-friendly procedure of making hydrogen and replacing it with an industrially scalable option without any nasties going into the air.

US artificial intelligence (AI)-made it possible for concentrated solar technology developer Heliogen Inc (NYSE: HLGN) has actually been permitted to lease BLM-administered land to construct a 20,000-tonne green hydrogen production plant in Arizona.

Elsewhere, several hydrogen projects were introduced in Norway, Germany, India, China and also the UK. Royal Dutch Shell started operations at the power-to-hydrogen electrolyzer in China as well as Germany's Linde Engineering authorized a contract for the construction a green hydrogen demo plant in Norway. In Addition, Green Hydrogen Systems signed a supply agreement with Edinburgh-based Logan Energy to deliver electrolysis tools for a project in England.

If 2021 was a defining year for clean hydrogen, hang on to your hats for 2022. Electrolyzer sales are projected to quadruple this year-- driven by the Chinese, U.S. and also European markets-- and also clean hydrogen demand from industry is set to go beyond usage in autos several times over. Meanwhile, taking advantage of investor enthusiasm, a flurry of hydrogen business will go public this year, and greater than 20 nations are anticipated to release a national hydrogen approach.

₤ 6.5 m center will utilize onsite solar as well as land fill gases

Masdar, Engie and also Fertiglobe-- a JV in between OCI N.V. and ADNOC-- will explore the co-development of an up to 200 MW capacity plant. Masdar will likewise collaborate with TotalEnergies and Siemens to co-develop a project for sustainable air travel fuel making use of green hydrogen in Masdar City.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund(PIF), South Korea's steelmaker POSCO (KRX:005490) as well as Samsung C&T Corp (KRX:028260) have teamed up to discover the growth of a joint project for the production of green hydrogen with export purposes.

Canada's First Hydrogen and German consulting firm FEV are establishing a hydrogen fueling station for remote places where there are no electric power grids readily available. Additionally, Japan and Indonesia have actually begun to cooperate on hydrogen and carbon capture innovations and the UK gas grid is set to begin blending hydrogen around the nation from following year.

French green hydrogen manufacturer Lhyfe has actually authorized its initial project powered by solar photovoltaics in Germany, which is intended to serve regional industries, transportation business, loading terminals and districts.

Somewhere else, French renewable hydrogen start-up Lhyfe has announced it is building an electrolyzer in eastern Germany, and also Los Angeles-based Southern California Gas has actually launched a hydrogen-powered drone to check its gas grid.

Renewables programmer Hero Future Energies (HFE) has actually developed a partnership with electrolyser maker Ohmium International to create as well as develop 1GW of green hydrogen plants across India, the UK and also Europe.
