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.
Plastic Omnium has announced plans to build North America’s largest hydrogen storage manufacturing plant in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. The facility will produce high-pressure hydrogen storage systems for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emissions vehicles, serving a major American automaker.
GTT has received an Approval in Principle (AiP) from the Japanese classification society ClassNK for a new concept of a scalable membrane type containment system that can be adapted to any size of liquified hydrogen (LH₂) carrier without major design modifications, as well as for the cargo handling system.
Energy infrastructure company Gasunie has taken the investment decision for the first part of its national hydrogen network. The investment of this first section exceeds €100 million and is being developed by Gasunie’s subsidiary Hynetwork Services. Work will start after the summer in Rotterdam.
