In an effort to bolster its standing in the future electrolysis market, thyssenkrupp nucera is strengthening its technology portfolio with high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC) technology of the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS, with which it has entered into a strategic partnership.

Topsoe has received an environmental permit from the Danish Environmental Agency for its factory in Herning, Denmark, which is currently under construction and scheduled to be operational by 2024. The 500-MW facility will produce solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs) for the production of e-fuels.

Power to Hydrogen (P2H2) has partnered with global utility leaders American Electric Power (AEP), EDP, E.ON, and Electricity Supply Board (ESB) to demonstrate the first-ever industrial scale Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM)-based electrolysis stack for low-cost green hydrogen production.

Sunfire has completed its Series E financing round, raising €215 million in equity capital. This is further complemented by a term loan of up to €100 million provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB). New investors include LGT Private Banking, GIC, Ahren Innovation Capital, and Carbon Equity.

OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy producer in Southeastern Europe, has signed two financing contracts through the EU-supported National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) for the construction of two green hydrogen production facilities at the Petrobrazi refinery in Romania.

Chevron New Energies has announced a 5-megawatt hydrogen production project in California’s Central Valley. The project aims to create lower-carbon energy by utilizing solar power, land, and non-potable produced water from Chevron’s existing assets at the Lost Hills Oil Field in Kern County.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has commissioned its first indigenously manufactured hydrogen electrolyser at the Green Hydrogen Plant located within the A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat, India, marking the entry of L&T Electrolysers into the domestic manufacturing of electrolysers.

Danish electrolyzer manufacturer Green Hydrogen Systems has announced that it has reached technical proof of concept for the X-Series electrolyser prototype. This milestone follows several months of commissioning and testing, leading to third-party validation, which is the final step in the technical proof of concept.

Researchers at the Robert Gordon University (RGU) have designed a tubular cell that can withstand high temperatures. The team have developed a solution to aid the production of hydrogen by designing, fabricating, and testing electrodes used in solid oxide steam electrolysis (SOSE) for waste steam generated from nuclear power plants.
