Poppe + Potthoff has developed a material specially designed for hydrogen applications. Components made of PPH2 can be designed with thinner walls than those made of stainless steel, resulting in weight and cost savings.
U.S. utility Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is launching a comprehensive end-to-end hydrogen study whose centrepiece is a large-scale project called ‘Hydrogen to Infinity’, which will blend hydrogen and natural gas in a stand-alone transmission pipeline system.
Gasunie and Vopak have announced an agreement to jointly develop future terminal infrastructure projects that will facilitate imports of hydrogen into Northwest Europe via Dutch and German ports.
The European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) has launched a dedicated website of the European Hydrogen Backbone initiative. The website provides a resource of all previous publications of the initiative, as well as an up-to-date and interactive version of the latest vision maps.
Hexagon Purus, a supplier of zero-emission mobility solutions, has entered into an agreement to acquire 40% of Cryoshelter GmbH’s liquid hydrogen business. The transaction is in conjunction with Hexagon Composites’ acquisition of a 40% stake in Cryoshelter’s LNG business.
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is building a test platform for the safe operation of hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas pipelines. The facility is intended to help industry and gas grid operators solve technical issues quickly and in a practical manner.
Baker Hughes has been awarded a contract by TERNA, the construction arm of GEK TERNA Group, to supply gas turbines and compressors that can run on a blend of natural gas and hydrogen for a new compression station of the Greek Natural Gas Transmission System.
The Research Council of Norway is investing more than €20 million in HYDROGENi, a new centre for environment-friendly energy research (FME) dedicated to hydrogen and ammonia. The centre has enlisted a strong cluster of over 50 industrial and academic partners.
Pressurized pipelines are seen as one means of hydrogen transport. With this in mind, Tenaris has carried out an experimental activity to qualify medium- and large-diameter pipes for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen transportation with a hydrogen content of up to 100% at 200 bar.
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has launched its first call for proposals through which it will support projects that boost renewable hydrogen production, reduce its costs, develop storage and distribution solutions, and stimulate the use of low-carbon hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors.
