Our dedicated news department gathers news and press releases from around the world to bring our community the latest developments in hydrogen technology. Here you can find news involving the people and companies involved in the production, storage and transport of hydrogen.
Topics such as electrolyzers, materials, flow control, compressors, sealings and storage tanks are covered as well as interviews with specialists, manufacturers and end users alike.
If you wish to include your news items and press releases in our publication, email newsletter or on our website please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Water electrolyzers are electrochemical devices used to split water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passage of an electrical current. There are four main types of electrolyzers: alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are already mature, while anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide electrolyzers are still under development. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in cell design and variations within components. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of electrolyzer technologies, equipment and components. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
NewHydrogen will further expand the existing sponsored research agreement with UCLA to develop technology to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production. The expanded program scope will include the development of efficient and stable hydrogen production using PEM electrolyzers.
Alfa Laval has signed an agreement to deliver compact heat exchangers to the world’s largest green hydrogen plant, to be constructed in the Middle East. The facility will be part of the city of Neom, built from scratch in the northwestern desert, with the ambition of establishing a new model for sustainable living.
In a serendipitous scientific discovery, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore have found that light can trigger a new mechanism in a catalytic material used extensively in water electrolysis. The result is a more energy-efficient – and potentially revolutionary – method of obtaining hydrogen.
In what is seen as a major breakthrough, researchers of the Dutch applied technology institute TNO have developed an advanced electrocatalyst that reduces the required amount of iridium by a factor of 200, while achieving an average of one third of the performance of current PEM electrolysers.
H2U Technologies has announced its patented Catalyst Discovery Engine (CDE), which advances the identification of catalyst alternatives to costly and scarce iridium and other rare platinum group metals (PGM) used in electrolyzers to produce hydrogen.
Researchers have devised a method for combining high-cost platinum and a low-cost rare earth element, lanthanum, as an alloy to serve as a catalyst in the next generation of fuel cells. This development could improve the performance of fuel cells, slash their cost, and make it easier to decarbonize heavy transport that is hard to electrify with batteries.
With a record production of almost 100 tons of green hydrogen for the production of climate-neutral green steel, Salzgitter AG and Sunfire have successfully completed the EU-funded GrInHy2.0 (Green Industrial Hydrogen) project. Their partnership is to continue beyond GrInHy2.0.
Stargate Hydrogen has launched its Gateway product family comprising containerised green hydrogen production systems up to 10 MW. By utilising proprietary technology, the Estonian company strives to continuously improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its alkaline electrolysers.
