Hydrogen

FNB Gas has unveiled plans for a hydrogen core network in Germany, while Tree Energy Solutions has started working on an electrolyzer and 1 GW of renewable energy assets in Canada.

Gensol Engineering will develop a grid-connected, ground-mounted solar plant to supply power to the hydrogen refueling station. Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd will oversee the engineering, procurement, and commissioning of electrolysers.

South Korea researchers have developed a cell by merging green algae with carbon nanofibers, in order to generate 9.5 W per cell and achieve a peak efficiency of 0.9%. They claim this is enough to power a micro-generation system for hydrogen production.

Air Liquide and Siemens Energy have inaugurated their gigawatt electrolyzer factory in Berlin, while Air Products says it is cementing its collaboration with Chengzhi in China.

To scale the adoption of clean technologies in rural areas, we need to focus more on leveraging the experience of early women adopters. We should organise hyperlocal events and demos – create spaces for women to network and become aware.

As the cost of generating clean energy continues to fall, producing green hydrogen in Europe, rather than importing it from Africa – with all the transport costs and raised carbon footprint that would entail – is beginning to look like an increasingly viable option.

Hartek plans to enter green hydrogen business as an EPC provider as well as a developer.

Larsen & Toubro has presence across green hydrogen project development/EPC, electrolyzer manufacturing, and battery cell manufacturing. As a hydrogen council member, the company intends to foster collaboration within the hydrogen industry. 

Germany’s HPS Home Power Solutions says its new 15 kW system uses surplus power from PV installations to produce hydrogen via electrolysis.

HDF Energy has expanded its operations to make fuel cells in France. It says it plans to produce green hydrogen infrastructure for low-carbon hydrogen production and non-intermittent renewable electrical power in 30 countries throughout the world.
