Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser AS, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, has signed a new contract worth approximately €5 million for 10 MW of alkaline electrolyser equipment with Samsung C&T Corporation Engineering & Construction Group. This equipment will be used for Samsung C&T’s first pilot nuclear-connected hydrogen production plant.
CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has successfully trialled its innovative hydrogen production technology at BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks in New South Wales, demonstrating that affordable and renewable hydrogen can be generated at scale to help decarbonise heavy industry.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has reached a significant milestone by completing 1,200 hours of operation in a long-term durability test of its 90 MPa-class ultra-high-pressure liquid hydrogen (LH₂) booster pump. These pumps are used at hydrogen refueling stations to refuel hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen tube trailers.

As the world accelerates its transition to a renewable and low-carbon future, hydrogen, along with its derivatives, is emerging as a critical component for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and possibly contributing to decarbonized energy security through seasonal energy storage in the long term. Recognized for its clean-burning properties and potential to decarbonize sectors that are challenging to electrify, low-emission hydrogen is poised to play an important role in the global energy mix, offering emission reductions within various industries such as refining, chemicals, and synthetic fuels. However, hydrogen also presents unique safety challenges that must be meticulously managed. This article delves into the critical aspects of hydrogen safety, exploring its inherent risks, the barriers to safe adoption, and the evolving regulatory landscape that aims to safeguard this emerging industry.
Selecting the right heat exchange solution is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing resource consumption. For large-scale green hydrogen plants, a variety of cooling solutions are available – from dry to wet systems, including hybrids that offer a balance between the two, such as Cascade Cooling. Developed by Kelvion, this innovative solution is designed for large-scale green hydrogen plants, optimising both electrical and water consumption.
With volatile renewable energy input on one end and stable hydrogen consumption on the other, electrolyser projects are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We explore the benefits and challenges of flexible electrolyser operation for a Dutch use case and propose to reconcile conflicting decarbonisation objectives: producing substantial volumes of affordable green hydrogen and integrating electrolysis into the renewables-based energy system of the future.
