Stainless steel is commonly used in various hydrogen applications, but it is susceptible to wear and galling. One solution to this problem is a surface hardening technology developed by the Danish company Expanite.
H-TEC SYSTEMS has unveiled its Hydrogen Cube System. The modular system is suitable for large multi-MW PEM electrolysis plants and applications in the industrial, chemical, and renewable energy sectors.
Alkaline Fuel Cell Power has achieved the first major milestone in the development of its innovative hydrogen fuel cell technology, creating a functioning, bench test, single stack and system operation at working temperature.
Plug Power has been awarded an order to deliver a 1 GW electrolyzer to H2 Energy Europe. Planned for a green hydrogen production complex in Denmark, this is the largest-capacity electrolyzer installation in the world to date.
On Friday, 13 May, Spanish King Felipe VI inaugurated Iberdrola’s green hydrogen plant in Puertollano. The solar-powered facility will be able to produce up to 3,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year.
The new funding round, led by Doosan Corporation, will support the development and prototype of Versogen’s next-generation electrolyzer stacks and expand the production of their patented anion exchange membranes (AEM).
As the hydrogen industry evolves, large-scale, low-cost, replicable, and site-independent hydrogen storage will be an essential element contributing to the optimisation of the green hydrogen value chain. This article introduces a novel hydrogen storage design that provides large-scale storage of compressed hydrogen and addresses a yawning gap in the green hydrogen value chain.
The future will see many combined-cycle power plants running on hydrogen or a natural gas/hydrogen mixture. Designing power plants that are suitable for hydrogen transition marks a crucial step on the path to low-carbon energy generation. There have been no transparent criteria and definitions of when a plant is considered H2-ready – until now. A new guideline fills this gap, assisting with reliable certification of H2-readiness and thereby ensuring safety and inspiring trust.
Most of us are exposed to a variety of fuels and energy sources each day. The more common include gasoline, natural gas, propane, and electricity. All of these can be hazardous and can create significant risks if not handled properly. We have grown comfortable, if not complacent, with most of these even though they can cause harm or damage property. Introducing a new fuel to the mix, hydrogen, should not cause us to shrink back, especially if it can bring significant benefits.
In 1960, a stroke of genius – the invention of the coaxial valve – laid the foundation of what has become a globally operating family-owned company that caters for a wide range of industrial customers. To this day, and more so than ever, the müller coax group remains committed to developing high-performance valves for the most extreme conditions.
By 2050, carbon-neutral ‘green’ hydrogen will deliver a significant proportion of the world’s total energy and become a multi-trillion-dollar industry, decarbonizing major industries including steel and ammonia, and enabling zero-emission FCEVs. Water electrolysis is the only technology for green hydrogen production that can scale to meet demand, and the marketplace for green hydrogen is growing rapidly. Anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis is emerging as a step change for the cost of green hydrogen.
The North Sea area is in transition. While oil and gas production is in decline, the deployment of offshore wind turbines in large-scale wind parks to produce offshore renewable energy is accelerating. The European ambition is to deploy 300 GW of offshore wind by 2050. Up to 72 GW of that target can be realised in the Dutch North Sea.
