Plug Power has secured an order for 25 MW of PEM electrolyzer systems from bp and Iberdrola’s joint venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L., to decarbonize operations at bp’s Castellón refinery in Valencia, Spain, by avoiding an estimated 23,000 tons of CO₂ emissions per year.
Siltrax, a Sydney-based fuel cell innovation company focused on transforming the hydrogen industry, has introduced its groundbreaking, patented silicon-based fuel cell technology, which leverages the unique characteristics of silicon to deliver enhanced performance, durability, and cost-efficiency.
Advanced Ionics has announced that Shell International Exploration and Production Inc., through its Shell GameChanger program, will sponsor a pilot project aimed at testing Advanced Ionics’ water-vapor electrolyzer technology to produce low-cost hydrogen.
Current hydrogen storage constraints mean there is no optimal solution for storing mid-range quantities of hydrogen. To respond to market demand, underground vertical hydrogen storage could be a game-changer for the hydrogen value chain.
In an exclusive interview with Hydrogen Tech World, Willem Frens, a seasoned business, project, and technology developer, shares his extensive knowledge and experience in green hydrogen and sustainable energy and process technologies. Mr. Frens discusses optimal locations for green hydrogen production, the importance of local offtake and export strategies, and advancements in electrolysis technologies. His insights provide a roadmap for the future of hydrogen production and the global energy transition.
Stiesdal Hydrogen, a subsidiary of the Stiesdal climate technology group, is paving the way for genuine industrialization of green hydrogen production. Founded in 2020, the Danish company has delivered the first three units of its 3.1-MW HydroGen Electrolyzer, offering not only a completely new approach to the overall electrolyzer arrangement but also a new take on alkaline technology that enhances flexibility and applicability. Hydrogen Tech World spoke with Esben Baltzer Nielsen, Head of Sales & Business Development at Stiesdal Hydrogen, to explore the company’s advancements.
We live on the Blue Planet, but even here freshwater is a scarce resource. Only2 % of all water in the world is freshwater, most of which is either locked away in glaciers at the poles or stored deep underground. This means that only a tiny fraction, 0.3% of the freshwater, is found in rivers and lakes. For water-intensive industries looking for sustainable water use, the dream is therefore to tap into the ocean and utilize the vast amount of seawater. In this article, the use of seawater for green hydrogen production is examined with a focus on the initial desalination step in the process towards ultrapure water. Key considerations and technical aspects are explored by answering essential questions like: Is seawater a viable source of water for green hydrogen? What are the water treatment issues when using seawater for green hydrogen? And should you opt for membrane-based reverse osmosis or thermal evaporation?
