Vallourec has inaugurated its vertical compressed gas hydrogen storage demonstrator in Aulnoye-Aymeries, northern France. The compact footprint of this modular system makes it easy to integrate into demanding industrial environments and delivers a secure large-scale hydrogen storage solution.
Honeywell has announced the European launch of its 100% hydrogen-capable diaphragm gas meter. The Honeywell EI5 smart gas meter, which has been successfully piloted in the Netherlands, is capable of measuring both hydrogen and natural gas, providing adaptability across the European continent.
GKN Hydrogen, a manufacturer of energy and hydrogen storage systems based on metal hydride, has been awarded the contract to install two storage units with a total capacity of 500 kilograms of hydrogen for the Hydrogen Terminal project conducted at the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany.
In a ceremony held on Friday, 27 October at Rotterdam’s Tweede Maasvlakte industrial park, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands symbolically marked the beginning of construction of a national hydrogen network in the Netherlands that will span 1,200 kilometres once completed.
Researchers in Japan have developed a new material capable of storing hydrogen energy for up to three months at room temperature, thereby increasing the efficiency of hydrogen storage and reducing its cost. Moreover, since the material is based on relatively inexpensive nickel, its cost is relatively low.
Electriq Global, an Israeli-based developer of the next generation of hydrogen solid carriers, has been awarded a €1.1-million grant from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) for its hydrogen powder manufacturing plant, slated to be built in the Port of Amsterdam and scheduled to begin operations in 2026.
HyPSTER, the first renewable hydrogen storage demonstrator in a salt cavern, was inaugurated on 15 September in Etrez, France. The project paves the way for the creation of an industrial-scale renewable hydrogen storage sector and technical and economic replicability to other sites in Europe.
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has announced that Takasago Hydrogen Park, the world’s first integrated hydrogen validation facility, has entered full-scale operation. The park is located at MHI’s Takasago Machinery Works in Hyogo Prefecture in west-central Japan.
Hexagon Purus today opened its new hydrogen cylinder manufacturing hub in Kassel, Germany. The new 83,000 ft² facility can support annual production of more than 40,000 type 4 high-pressure hydrogen cylinders for fuel cell electric mobility and hydrogen infrastructure applications.
Luxfer Gas Cylinders has announced an investment of over £1 million in its European base in Nottingham, where it will establish a new production facility to support ‘virtual’ gas pipelines that can distribute hydrogen across the UK and Europe. Production there is scheduled to commence in summer 2024.
