SoCalGas Proposes to Develop United States' Largest Green Hydrogen Energy Infrastructure System to Help Decarbonize LA Basin and Accelerate California's Climate Goals
How Clean Is Hydrogen? Platts, Others Seek to Give Fuel a Score
S&P Global Platts, the energy and commodities pricing service, has teamed up with a national lab and a nonprofit research group to create a tool for measuring the carbon intensity of different sources of hydrogen, showing the global-warming impact of each. The tool, a version of which could be ready in 18 months, won’t just look at how the hydrogen is made — whether it’s stripped from water or or natural gas, and which energy source is used to power its production. Instead, it will evaluate individual hydrogen production plants, giving each facility a score it can show to customers and investors. That’s the plan, at least, for what participants are calling the Open Hydrogen Initiative, or OHI.
Schumer In Direct Letter To U.S. Secretary Of Energy Says Hydrogen Production And Research Facilities From WNY, Rochester, & The Capital Region To Long Island Are Prime To Jolt U.S. Global Clean Energy Leadership
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today launched a major push to make New York State home to the nation’s first Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub created by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Law. In a direct letter to U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, Schumer explained how New York is already a national leader in hydrogen energy production and research, with North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility currently being constructed in Western New York by Plug Power. Schumer said that if selected for federal investment, the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub would mean thousands more clean energy jobs in New York and major federal investment to cement New York as a leader in the fight against climate change and the future of carbon free energy production.
West Virginia Leaders Will Collaborate To Compete For New Hydrogen Hub Funded By The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act
DOE Establishes Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's $9.5 Billion Clean Hydrogen Initiatives
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced two Requests for Information (RFI) to collect feedback from stakeholders to inform the implementation and design of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Regional Hydrogen Hub and the Electrolysis and Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing and Recycling Programs. This request will help accelerate progress, reduce technology cost, and ramp up the use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. Clean hydrogen is crucial to DOE’s strategy for achieving President Biden’s goal of a 100% clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
China: Nation powers ahead with hydrogen use at Games
Recognizing the importance of the gas as a low-carbon energy source and global growth industry, China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) names hydrogen as one of six industries of the future. The government is also expected to launch a comprehensive national hydrogen development plan soon. The plan will include a full ecosystem for a hydrogen economy, ranging from a strong manufacturing base for electrolyzers to the various downstream uses of "green" hydrogen.
Heliogen Awarded Exclusive Right to Lease Brenda Solar Energy Zone for Green Hydrogen Production
Heliogen intends to develop a green hydrogen facility on the Brenda site, capable of producing approximately 20,000 metric tonnes of hydrogen per year. The Brenda SEZ is situated on 3,343 acres of land in La Paz County, Arizona on the California border. The site has direct access to Interstate 10 for distribution of hydrogen to nearby natural gas pipelines for blending and transport, as well as to the Phoenix metropolitan area and the Port of Los Angeles for domestic and international shipping.
US senators express bipartisan support for hydrogen as states vie to become hydrogen 'hubs'
Clean Hydrogen Use Gaining Momentum in Countries; Scaling up the use of the energy carrier could be key to a cleaner atmosphere in the future, and countries such as Germany and Japan are setting ambitious targets, experts say.
Oil majors move early on hydrogen after slow response to renewables
Nel ASA: Receives contract for containerized electrolyzer and hydrogen refueling equipment
Nel Hydrogen US has received a contract for a containerized PEM electrolyzer to be integrated with its 700 bar H2Station® hydrogen fueling equipment package at a power generating site in the US. The project will demonstrate several use cases for green hydrogen, including cooling of the turbine generators, direct injection of hydrogen into the natural gas fuel stream at the plant, and for fueling a fleet of light duty fuel cell vehicles to be operated by the utility. Power for the electrolyzer will come from various sources, including an on-site solar PV array, making it a near carbon free source of hydrogen for all three use cases.
"We can't miss each other": hydrogen, at the center of the French industrial game; France is betting heavily on the development of a sector dedicated to this carbon-free technology and has certain advantages. Still it is necessary to transform the test.
New Mexico has the ingredients to be hydrogen superpower
While the federal infrastructure package will facilitate the growth of the hydrogen economy, providing $8 billion over four years to create regional decarbonized hydrogen production and consumption hubs, more is needed in our state to take advantage of this opportunity. The race is already on to compete with Texas, California, and Appalachia to host hydrogen hubs.
Hydrogen – 10 Predictions for 2022
UAE backs Global Ports Hydrogen Coalition; Initiative will enhance policy dialogue and collaboration to scale up the production and use of low-carbon hydrogen in industrial coastal areas
ITM Power and Linde: 24MW Sale to Yara
The hydrogen required for ammonia production is currently produced from SMR. Yara intends to start replacing this grey hydrogen with green hydrogen produced from renewable energy and electrolysis. The 24MW system supplying 10,368 kg/day of hydrogen will account for approximately 5% of the plant's consumption and serve as a feasibility study for future upscaling.
