US company Power to Hydrogen (P2H2) is supplying a 0.5 MW electrolyzer to the Norwegian research institute SINTEF. The system is designed to produce green hydrogen for the manufacture of emissions-free acetone from CO2. It is part of the EU project PYROCO2.
Liquid hydrogen derivatives like methanol can be transported via pipeline up to ten times cheaper in terms of energy content than gaseous hydrogen. This is shown by a case study from Fraunhofer IEG and Fraunhofer ISI. The simulation model HyTROM+ developed for this purpose aims to create planning security for import corridors.
Fraunhofer ISE has developed a process that significantly reduces the cost of producing dimethyl ether, or DME. This energy carrier could play an important role in future hydrogen imports. A pilot plant is now planned in Chile.
Thyssenkrupp Uhde has implemented a hydrogen recovery unit for ammonia producer Fertiglobe in the United Arab Emirates. The unit increases production by up to 6 percent while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions.
Heraeus Precious Metals, in collaboration with the research service provider hte, has developed a ruthenium-based catalyst for the decomposition of ammonia to produce hydrogen.
Intercontinental Energy, a global developer of large-scale green hydrogen projects, has unveiled a patented system called P2(H2)Node. Developed in Australia, the technology aims to reduce the production costs of green hydrogen by 10 to 20 percent, thereby accelerating the widespread adoption of this energy carrier.
Technology provider Elcogen and plant engineering company Casale have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate solid oxide electrolysis into ammonia production. The partnership aims to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in the traditionally fossil-based ammonia industry by using green hydrogen.
Following Abo Energy, Energiequelle has also announced a major project in Finland’s Oulu region. Electrolysis capacity of up to 500 MW could be installed there by 2033.
