   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   27 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   Rolls-Royce has commissioned its first in-house test stand for mtu hydrogen engines at its Augsburg site marking another milestone on the road to climate-neutral products for energy supply. Over the past year and a half, the company has invested around ten million euros at Rolls-Royce Solutions in Augsburg in test bench modernization, hydrogen infrastructure and other measures as part of its ‘Net Zero at Power Systems’ climate protection program.
   
   Rolls-Royce had announced in 2021, as part of its ‘Net Zero at Power Systems’ sustainability program that it would realign its product portfolio so that by 2030, sustainable fuels and new mtu technologies can achieve greenhouse gas emissions reduction of 35 percent compared to 2019. The company is now already successfully operating an mtu fuel cell system, has released its power generation gensets for sustainable fuels such as HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oils), and is developing electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen. The mtu gas engine portfolio is being prepared for hydrogen as a fuel, thus enabling a climate-neutral energy supply.
   
   Rolls-Royce Power Systems is headquartered in Friedrichshafen in southern Germany and employs around 9,000 people. The product portfolio includes mtu-brand high-speed engines and propulsion systems for ships, power generation, heavy land, rail and defence vehicles and for the oil and gas industry as well as diesel and gas systems and battery containers for mission critical, standby and continuous power, combined generation of heat and power, and microgrids and is intensively engaged in the development of climate-neutral solutions.

   Peugeot Hydrogen Fuel Cell Van E Expert Hydrogen Available
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   27 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   Peugeot hydrogen fuel cell van E Expert Hydrogen is now available. Its powertrain is identical to the Peugeot E-Expert BEV, but instead of having the big 75 kWh battery, it instead has a smaller 10.5 kWh pack and tanks located in the floor of the vehicle capable of storing 4.4 kg of hydrogen under pressure. With a full load of hydrogen, the E-Expert FCV has a claimed WLTP range of 400 km, more than the E-Expert BEV whose range is 340 km. Refuelling the vehicle takes around 3 minutes, but you can also just charge the battery at up to 11 kW thanks to an on-board charger.
   
   The very first production hydrogen vehicle from PEUGEOT left the production line on 13December 2021 with MICHELIN group the first customer of the revolutionary new PEUGEOT e-EXPERT Hydrogen. With the e-EXPERT Hydrogen, PEUGEOT has become one of the very first manufacturers to offer, in addition to its combustion and battery electric variants, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the commercial vehicle segment.
   
   The PEUGEOT e-EXPERT Hydrogen van integrates a new hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrain in the engine compartment and underbody, resulting in no compromise in terms of load volume compared to the diesel variants of the EXPERT, and a low centre of gravity, improving vehicle stability and safety.
   
   Based on the battery powered e-EXPERT, the PEUGEOT e-EXPERT Hydrogen is now available for deliveries, with the first customer, WATEA by MICHELIN, the young subsidiary dedicated to green mobility solutions in the MICHELIN group, receiving its hydrogen van before the end of the year.

   IRENA Expects Quarter of Global Hydrogen for Trading by 2050
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   27 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   A new report series released by the International Renewable Energy Agency sees hydrogen trade significantly contributing to a more diversified and resilient energy system. IRENA said “Global hydrogen trade to meet the 1.5 degree Celcius climate goal’ shows the importance of the future hydrogen trade. Trade allows countries to tap into affordable hydrogen as the scale of projects progresses and technology matures. One quarter of the global hydrogen demand could be satisfied by international trade through pipelines and ships. With falling costs of renewables and the hydrogen potential exceeding global energy demand by 20-fold, three-quarters of global hydrogen would still be produced and used locally in 2050. This is a significant change from today’s oil market where the bulk is internationally traded.”
   
   IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook sees hydrogen covering 12% of global energy demand and cutting 10 per cent of CO2 emissions by 2050. Yet, hydrogen can only be a viable climate solution if the power needed to produce it comes in addition to the electrification of the energy system, placing an even greater uptake of renewable power at the heart of the transition.
   
   The new reports see half of the hydrogen being traded through largely existing, repurposed gas pipelines drastically reducing the costs of transport. Shipping of green ammonia would account for most of the other half, largely intercontinental hydrogen trade.
   
   As hydrogen becomes an increasingly internationally traded commodity, the hydrogen sector will attract growing sums of investment. Satisfying the global demand requires investment of almost USD 4 trillion by 2050. Net zero-aligned finance instruments will have to leverage the investment needed.

   Irving Oil to Introduce Hydrogen in Canadian Market
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   28 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   Saint John New Brunswick US headquartered Irving Oil has announced plans to expand its hydrogen capacity at the Saint John refinery, with the goal of offering hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in Atlantic Canada, making the company the first to introduce hydrogen to the regional market. In formalizing an agreement to purchase a hydrogen electrolyzer, Irving Oil will be the first oil refinery in Canada, and one of the first in North America, to make such an investment in this type of clean energy solution.
   
   The company’s initial investment in a 5-megawatt electrolyzer, developed by New York hydrogen technology company Plug Power, is expected to be fully operational by late 2023, and will play a significant role in exploring further hydrogen production to drive emission reductions at the Saint John refinery, as well as clean energy solutions for downstream customers. Once fully operational, the electrolyzer will produce 2 tonnes of hydrogen per day – the equivalent to fuelling 60 buses with hydrogen.
   
   Irving Oil Saint John Refinery is the largest producer of hydrogen in Atlantic Canada and one of the largest producers in Canada generating more than 200 tonnes of hydrogen per day, which is used to lower the sulphur content of petroleum products at the refinery. While currently, hydrogen at the facility is produced with natural gas, the hydrogen electrolyzer will create hydrogen using electricity from the local electricity grid.

   Everfuel & Crossbridge Ink Pact for HySynergy Phase II Hydrogen
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   28 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   Everfuel & Crossbridge Energy have signed a long-term agreement stipulating the terms for hydrogen supply from the first stage of Everfuel’s HySynergy Phase II PtX facility which is under development in Fredericia, Denmark. The agreement is an important step in the realisation of the planned 300MW electrolyser plant. The two project partners have agreed on the commercial terms for the initial stage of the electrolyser facility which will be developed in three stages A, B & C, each with 100 MW electrolysis capacities.
   
   Section A will have a production capacity of up to 40 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, which will be used for more sustainable fuel production at the adjacent Crossbridge Energy refinery, and as a zero-emission fuel for mobility and industry. The first phase of HySynergy, which consists of a 20 MW electrolyser, is currently under construction next to the Crossbridge Energy refinery and is expected to produce the first green hydrogen in late 2022.
   
   The second phase of HySynergy, will when fully operational as planned in 2025, facilitate an annual reduction of up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions from the mobility sector and industry. The second phase will be developed in connection with Phase I. The land plot is already outlined and prepared for construction subject to receiving IPCEI funding from the EU for the stage A electrolyser.
   
   Crossbridge Energy and Everfuel will further develop partnership agreements with external parties for the supply of excess oxygen and heat from the new facility to increase its overall efficiency.

   Bridgend County Inks Pact with Marubeni for 5MW Hydrogen Project
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   28 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   Bridgend County Borough Council has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japanese green energy specialists Marubeni setting out how both organisations intend to work together to explore and develop a new 5MW-class hydrogen energy initiative. The agreement has been signed after Bridgend County Borough was selected by Marubeni following discussions with Welsh Government as the preferred UK location for a green hydrogen demonstrator project, which aims to create a plant capable of generating and balancing the supply and storage of low-cost green energy.
   
   Under the proposals, the project could act as a trailblazer by generating clean fuel for fleet vehicles ranging from council gritters to recycling and refuse collection lorries.
   
   It could also be extended to cover emergency response vehicles used by blue light services, and will consider how hydrogen fuel might be used to heat buildings and facilities a such as schools, Extra Care residential homes, local swimming pools and more.
   
   Funding for the project is being considered by Marubeni, who intend to be awarded by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization for a programme called ‘International Demonstration Project on Japan’s Energy Efficiency Technologies’.
   
   As part of the process, Marubeni completed a feasibility study titled ‘Demonstration project of control system that contributes to optimal supply and demand of local energy including electricity, heat and hydrogen UK in March 2022.

   Hydrogen Utopia to Convert Waste Plastic into Hydrogen
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   29 Jul, 2.022, 6:30 am
   
   A company pioneering non-recyclable waste plastics to hydrogen technology Hydrogen Utopia International continues to illustrate the transformative power of engineering and technology. Indeed, in just the past two weeks the company has moved to accelerate this transformation. Firstly, with the announcement of a testing programme for the conversion of waste plastic to hydrogen, and the latest, the completion of the basic design of the Chemical Conversion Chamber by Electron and its subcontractor, Vicoma. The implication of these developments is that after a full design review, the design and manufacture of a total system is then in sight.
   
   The starting point for Hydrogen Utopia was to deliver a cheap source of what can be regarded as a “wonder fuel” Hydrogen. But as 2022 has progressed the syngas from the pyrolysis process the Hydrogen will be derived from, is currently a very sought after commodity.

    Waterstof als poeder opslaan voor eenvoudig transport
    admin - 29 jul. 2022
    
    Als waterstof de brandstof van de toekomst is moeten we een manier vinden om het makkelijk te transporteren. Een optie is het verpoederen van het vluchtige gas. Daardoor kan je het veilig en in enorme hoeveelheden vervoeren. Maar gas tot poeder maken vraagt wel om wat kunstgrepen.
    
    Twee technieken kwamen de afgelopen weken in het nieuws. De Australische Deakin University ontdekte dat je waterstofpoeder kunt maken met stalen ballen. Je vult een vat met een poeder (boornitride), stalen ballen en een gas. Vervolgens laat je het vat rustig tuimelen. De druk van de stalen ballen op het gas en het poeder zorgt ervoor dat het gas na lang draaien ín het poeder zit. Als je het poeder verhit komt het gas weer vrij en kun je het gebruiken.
    
    Deze techniek kun je toepassen op waterstofgas. Door het op te slaan in het poeder is transport makkelijker en goedkoper. Dat is nodig, want waterstof neemt bij kamertemperatuur en normale druk heel veel ruimte in. Er zijn al schepen die waterstof vloeibaar kunnen vervoeren, maar dit vereist hoge druk en lage temperaturen. Dat maakt de schepen lastig om te maken en duur.
    
    Zand en water
    Een andere techniek voor waterstofpoeder komt uit Hong Kong. Het bedrijf EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) gebruikt silicium (ook de grondstof voor zonnepanelen) om waterstofgas te binden. Of, preciezer: om een poeder te maken dat waterstof maakt van water. Want dat is wat hun ‘Si+’ poeder naar verluid doet. Je stopt het siliciumpoeder (een belangrijk bestanddeel van zand) in water en het begint te reageren met de watermoleculen. Zo ontstaat waterstofgas en siliciumdioxide, het materiaal waar kwarts uit bestaat.
    
    Beide methoden gebruiken interessante chemie om waterstof te verpoederen. Maar er zijn ook nadelen, met het oog op transport. Si+ weegt 7 keer meer dan de hoeveelheid waterstof die het oplevert. Hoewel transport dus makkelijker is, is het niet per se veel goedkoper. Je moet immers veel meer Si+ vervoeren.
    
    Hoe duur is waterstofpoeder?
    De techniek uit Australië kost veel tijd; je moet het vat uren laten tuimelen voor je noemenswaardige hoeveelheden waterstof hebt opgeslagen. En bij beide technieken is nog onduidelijk wat de kosten zijn van het verpoederen. Zowel in euro’s, als in benodigde energie.
    
    Voor de tuimeltechniek uit Australië zien de onderzoekers dan ook eerst een andere toepassing, in de fossiele industrie. Nu worden gassen daar van elkaar gescheiden door ze heel koud te maken, maar dit vreet energie. De tuimelmethode is vele malen goedkoper en scheidt de gassen net zo goed. Als de techniek populair wordt in de fossiele wereld, kan hij laten misschien ook toegepast worden voor waterstof.

    'Groningse waterstoflobby helpt Shell aan nieuw verdienmodel'
    
    Dit lijkt goed nieuws. Maar té snel inzetten op waterstof juist leidt volgens critici tot energieschaarste en juist méér CO2-uitstoot.

    Port of Valencia Building Hydrogen Plant
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    1 Aug, 2.022, 5:30 am
    
    The Port of Valencia has begun the installation of the hydrogen generator with the assembly on the north quay in the Bracet de la Xità area, of the tank and compressor of the station that will supply hydrogen to the machinery that forms part of the H2Ports project. A further step in this pioneering initiative which will be completed in the next few days with the arrival of the mobile unit with the dispenser to position the Port of Valencia as the first European site to use hydrogen technologies to reduce its environmental impact.
    
    The hydrogen station will supply the fuel necessary to guarantee the continuous working cycles of the equipment forming part of the H2Ports project. One of the pieces of equipment, currently in the construction phase, will be the machinery or prototype of the Reach Stacker vehicle or container stacker which will be powered by this energy and which will be tested at MSC Terminal Valencia. The other piece of equipment will be an adaptation of a conventional 4×4 tractor unit, which will have a fuel cell adapted for testing in loading and unloading operations at Valencia Terminal Europa of the Grimaldi Group.
    
    The hydrogen supply station HRS has been designed and built by the National Hydrogen Centre, and will include a fixed part that will be dedicated to the reception, storage and compression of hydrogen up to delivery pressure, both already installed at the Bracet de la Xità, and a mobile part that will store the compressed hydrogen and will include a hydrogen dispenser for refuelling the port machinery. The HRS will have a two-stage water-cooled piston hydrogen compressor with heat exchangers integrated into the system, two groups of hydrogen storage cylinders at 300 and 450 bar and a dispenser at 350 bar for heavy vehicles.
    
    Carburos Metálicos is leading the installation of the hydrogen plant in the Port of Valencia and will manage it during a pilot period of two years, thus guaranteeing the good practices of the equipment involved and the correct handling of the hydrogen loading operations. Likewise, Carburos Metálicos will supply the renewable hydrogen and will develop the necessary logistics for the supply of the port machinery.
    
    The European project which will enable Valencia and its port to work and move port machinery with hydrogen is called “H2PORTS – Implementing Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technologies in Ports”. It is an initiative coordinated by the Valenciaport Foundation in close collaboration with the Port Authority, and is financed by the Clean Hydrogen JU programme of the European Union. Its main objective is to test and validate hydrogen technologies on port machinery that will provide applicable and real solutions without affecting the performance and safety of port operations and producing zero local emissions.
    
    The H2Ports project will involve a total investment of more than 4 million euros and involves, in addition to the Valenciaport Foundation and the Port Authority of Valencia, the research centres Centro Nacional del Hidrógeno and Atena Distretto Alta Tecnologia Energia Ambiente and the private companies MSC Terminal Valencia, Grimaldi Group, Hyster-Yale, Ballard Power Systems Europe, Carburos Metálicos and Enagás.

    Deze V12-motor kan op diesel én op waterstof lopen (1.000+ pk!)
    Mattijn Nederend - 2 uur geleden
    
    Telkens als we beginnen over waterstof, zijn er genoeg sceptici die ‘man, man, man, kansloos’ roepen. Dat heeft blijkbaar iets aangewakkerd bij MAN (of iemand zei het om twaalf uur drie keer voor de spiegel), want het bedrijf heeft nu een V12-motor ontwikkeld die op zowel diesel als waterstof kan lopen. Het vermogen is daarbij maar liefst 1.020 pk. De eerste twee exemplaren zijn nu ingezet voor de scheepsvaart.
    
    Het knappe is dat het geen gloednieuwe V12-motor is. MAN pakte een bestaand model (met de pakkende naam D2862 LE448) en maakte daar een adapter voor om waterstof te injecteren. De motor kan op diesel draaien zoals voorheen, maar kan omschakelen naar waterstof. Als de motor op waterstof loopt, is er nog ongeveer 5 procent diesel nodig.
    
    Momenteel hebben twee schepen al de converteerde V12 aan boord en volgens MAN is de diesel-waterstofmotor klaar voor productie. De toevoeging van waterstof zou volgens MAN goed zijn voor een CO2-reductie van 50 tot 80 procent. Voor de liefhebbers: de waterstof in deze motoren ontbrandt via dezelfde manier als diesel, dus via compressie.
    
    Waterstof voor vrachtwagens?
    Als ze scheepsvaartdiesels kunnen ombouwen om op waterstof te lopen, dan biedt dat interessante mogelijkheden voor vrachtwagens. Technisch zullen de motoren verschillen, maar het basisprincipe is hetzelfde. Bestaande vrachtwagens ombouwen tot waterstofvrachtwagens zou een mooie stap richting duurzaamheid zijn.
    
    Over plannen om bestaande motoren om te bouwen, is nog niets bekend. Wel wil MAN in 2023 of 2024 gaan testen met vrachtwagens op waterstof. Hierbij ontwikkelt het merk motoren die de waterstof verbranden, maar ook aandrijflijnen waarbij de waterstof wordt omgezet in elektriciteit. Dat laatste wordt ook wel een brandstofcel genoemd.
    
    Lees ook: Dit kost het om 1.000 kilometer op waterstof te rijden in een auto
    
    De kritiek op waterstof is altijd dat het een inefficiënt goedje is. Er gaat energie verloren bij het maken van waterstof en het daarna omzetten in beweging. Toch zou het voor vrachtwagens een goede optie kunnen zijn. Een paar duizend kilo aan batterijen meesleuren is immers ook niet bijster efficiënt.

    DRIFT Energy Produces Green Hydrogen with Hydrofoil Sailboat

    Published on :

    DRIFT Energy has successfully produced green hydrogen gas using its first purpose-built hydrofoil sailboat in sea trials. The sea trials of these ground-breaking energy yachts took place off the coast of Brightlingsea, Essex earlier this month. The trials managed to produce approximately six liters of green hydrogen over a two hour test run. The trial was so successful that the energy yacht outperformed expectations and could have produced over ten times more of the green renewable gas. DRIFT, having proven the concept are progressing plans for vessels capable of 250,000 liters per hour or more.
    
    DRIFT Energy’s business is pioneering this type of energy yacht design, but the secret ingredient is in using the power of data to find ptimal weather conditions in which to route the vessels when at sea. This routing algorithm is critical to DRIFT’s operations and unlocks a unique advantage over other renewable classes, by making green energy mobile. Artificial intelligence firm Faculty found that a flotilla of DRIFT’s energy yachts, operating from Penzance, could achieve a load factor of 72.5%. By comparison verified load factors for wind turbines in the UK are 26.5% for onshore wind farms and 39.9% for offshore wind farms. Faculty’s research into wind speeds across the North Atlantic indicates a load factor of 77% could be achieved off the coast of New York and, at some locations in the mid-Atlanti load factors of 82% could be attained. Faculty was asked by DRIFT to develop a routing algorithm that can continually optimize the course of the vessels to maintain the highest possible utilization of the ship.
    
    DRIFT’s boats will sail the ocean, which has wind speeds, wind orientations and wave heights that vary by the hour. Given a forecast of the environmental conditions, the task was to determine how far the rate of energy generation can be optimized over a specific time window. In optimizing the route, rather than just look at the next best move the boat could make, Faculty's algorithm looks several time-steps ahead so that it can take a more strategic approach to where the best winds will be – just like a chess player viewing a board.
    
    The next phase of the work may look at issues such as the positioning of offshore docks, energy potentials in other oceans such as the Pacific and the impact of climate change to routing behaviour.
    
    To benefit from the load factors uncovered, DRIFT intends to conduct further sea trials, and increase the number of boats available to generate energy.
    
    DRIFT’s energy yacht was built by the White Formula of Brightlingsea, a third generation boatbuilder with Olympic gold medal winning heritage.

    EU Launches 41 Hydrogen Projects IPCEI Hy2Tech
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    2 Aug, 2.022, 5:30 am
    
    The European Commission has approved EUR 5.4 billion hydrogen project jointly funded by 15 EU countries and 35 companies including Alstom and Daimler Truck, seeking to gain the edge in an innovative sector. Other participating companies include Ansaldo, Bosch, Enel, Fincantieri, Orsted and Plastic Omnium. The group will take part in 41 projects in the hydrogen scheme focusing on generation of hydrogen, fuel cells, storage, transportation and distribution of hydrogen and end-users applications, in particular in the mobility sector. The project, called IPCEI Hy2Tech, aims to attract another EUR 8.8 billion in private investments.
    
    The 41 projects are spread across four categories of generation technology, fuel cells, storage and transport, and end-user technology where train, truck, and ship manufacturers feature prominently.
    
    The bloc as part of its RepowerEU initiative pledged to move faster to expedite energy independence from Russia, but said it needed applications to be of a high standard. It anticipates an industry-focused IPCEI portfolio to be submitted in August or September, and a infrastructure-focused IPCEI around the turn of the year. A transport IPCEI could follow sometime afterwards.

    Microsoft wil datacenters op groene waterstof laten draaien
    admin - Gisteren om 23:02
    
    Techreus Microsoft heeft plannen om groene waterstof als energiebron te gebruiken voor hun datacenters in plaats van diesel. Een pilot met positieve resultaten opent nu de weg voor de schonere energiebron.
    
    In Nederland staan ongeveer 189 datacenters. Deze worden hier veelal aangedreven door windmolens – ook een schone vorm van energie. Maar er is ook veel kritiek: de groene stroom die wordt opgewekt kan niet worden geleverd aan de huishoudens in de buurt, omdat de datacenters hierop draaien. En de datacenters nemen veel ruimte in, wat zonde is van de kleine hoeveelheid grond die beschikbaar is in het dichtbevolkte Nederland.
    
    Datacenters op waterstof
    Door datacenters op waterstof te laten draaien, kunnen deze ook op plekken worden neergezet waar nu dieselaggregaten staan. Dat is een stuk schoner, en het is niet direct afhankelijk van groene stroom van windmolens. Hoewel, om de datacenters op groene waterstof te kunnen laten draaien is er ook zon of wind nodig. Maar die opwek kan in principe overal plaatsvinden, voordat de waterstof bij het datacenter is.
    
    De ‘waterstof-aggregaten’ zijn samen met het bedrijf Plug Power Inc. ontwikkeld. De test is gedaan met aggregaten die in twee containers van ruim 12 meter huizen. Eén container wekt 3 megawatt aan stroom op: dat is zoveel dat het ongeveer duizend huishoudens tegelijkertijd van stroom kan voorzien.
    
    Net zoveel als een systeem op diesel
    Volgens Plug Power is dit het grootste waterstofsysteem dat het tot dan toe gemaakt heeft. Het bedrijf noemt het een mijlpaal, omdat dit het eerste waterstofsysteem is dat net zoveel energie kan genereren als een systeem dat op diesel draait.
    
    Microsoft heeft als doel om in 2030 klimaatpositief te zijn. Door te kiezen voor waterstof in plaats van diesel, kan het eerder dat doel behalen. Microsoft zegt de waterstofcontainers in eerste instantie vooral te willen neerzetten op plekken waar vanwege de luchtkwaliteit geen diesel gebruikt mag worden. En in de toekomst kan waterstof ook op andere plekken uitkomst bieden.

    Published on :
    3 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    Powerhouse Energy Group has agreed on a heads of terms with Hydrogen Utopia International for a proposed joint development of a site at Lanespark in Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland. HUI and Powerhouse have agreed, in principle, to establish a joint venture vehicle owned equally by each company to which PHE and HUI would contribute development costs for the Lanespark Project on 50:50 basis.
    
    It is anticipated the Lanespark Project would, if developed, lead to PHE’s first operational full scale waste plastic to hydrogen facility outside of the UK.
    
    Powerhouse also continues to support and be the technology provider to Peel NRE nd its SPV at Protos Strategic Energy & Resource Park in Cheshire in UK.
