   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   1 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   Green Hydrogen International has announced its second giga-scale green hydrogen development in Nova Scotia in Canada. The project centers on a series of hydrogen storage facilities the company is planning in the salt formations that lie beneath the province. Underground salt storage is a critical lynchpin of large-scale green hydrogen production, allowing for significantly lower production costs and the ability to guarantee delivery to customers.
   
   When fully expanded to 500GW in size, Spirit of Scotia will be able to produce over 43 billion KG of H2 per year, equivalent to over 450TWh of energy. This could power 73% of Germany's electricity needs and is comparable in energy terms to the amount Qatar exports in natural gas every year.
   
   GHI intends to work with the Canadian and Nova Scotian Governments, The Mi'kmaq People, and local communities around the province to develop the project and help build a green hydrogen future in a sustainable way.
   
   GHI has acquired extensive mineral exploration licenses across Nova Scotia in most of the known storage-grade salt formations in the province.

   Invinity Energy Starts Battery System at EMEC Hydrogen Lab
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   1 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   Leading manufacturer of utility-grade energy storage Invinity Energy Systems has successfully delivered, installed and energised a 1.8 MWh VS3 flow battery system at the European Marine Energy Centre hydrogen R&D facility on the island of Eday in the Orkney Islands in UK. Comprising 48 Invinity VS3 battery modules, with a combined capacity equivalent to the daily energy consumption of over 210 UK households, this innovative project will see Invinity's flow batteries integrated with tidal generation to optimise green hydrogen production at EMEC's hydrogen production plant
   
   Tidal generation is predictable yet variable, with two high and two low tides occurring each day. Once the integrated system has been fully commissioned, the battery will 'smooth' the power from the tidal generation by storing during high power periods and releasing during low power periods to ensure EMEC's 670 kW hydrogen electrolyser has a stable, renewable power supply, allowing the continuous production of green hydrogen.
   
   Manufactured at Invinity's facility in Bathgate in West Lothian, the energy storage system was delivered in stages via road and ferry to the island located off the north coast of Scotland. The project is currently in its final commissioning phase with integration of the tidal turbine and electrolyser expected to complete shortly. Full demonstration of the integrated system is due to take place this autumn.

   SK E&S, Plug Hyverse & KOEN Join Hands for Hydrogen Production
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   2 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   SK E&S and SK Plug Hyverse will work with Korea Southeast Power Generation KOEN to cooperate with green hydrogen and green ammonia projects based on renewable energy resources in Korea and abroad. SK E&S signed a memorandum of understanding with SK Plug Hyverse and KOEN regarding cooperation for carbon neutrality and the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia which will be consumed for co-firing at KOEN's natural gas and coal-based thermal power plants, by using electrolyzers to be produced in Korea by SK Plug Hyverse.
   
   Green hydrogen and green ammonia co-firing are gaining attention as an eco-friendly and relatively low-cost solution for existing thermal power plants that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
   
   According to the company, the significance of this MOU lies in the fact that SK Plug Hyverse, which is collaborating with Plug, a global hydrogen company, and Korea South-East Power, a public power company that accounts for approximately 10% of the total electricity supply in Korea, have joined forces in the green hydrogen and ammonia business, which is garnering attention as one of the future's most important energy sources.
   
   PEM electrolyzers that SK Plug Hyverse plans to supply are the only commercially proven technology with a quicker start-up time than the alkaline electrolyzers and superior load response capability, which enables it to work more effectively with the intermittently produced renewable energy to produce green hydrogen. In addition, PEM electrolyzers are known for high energy density and moderate cost of maintenance.

    Actis Inks Pact with Egyptian Government for Green Hydrogen
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    2 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    Leading global investor in sustainable infrastructure Actis has saigned a memorandum of understanding with the Egyptian government for green hydrogen development. The MoU will give Actis an entry point into what could be one of the largest hydrogen markets in the region. While not alone in pursuing green hydrogen, Egypt has a comparative advantage due to its renewable resources and proximity to European and Asian markets. This opportunity is an attractive proposition for Actis as it develops its hydrogen strategy and evolves the next generation of investment platforms.
    
    Hydrogen is widely used globally in commercial industry, for example in the production of ammonia for fertiliser, methanol for plastics and in oil refining. Currently almost all of the world’s hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels, with a significant amount of carbon dioxide emitted as a byproduct of the process.
    
    Green hydrogen is far superior from a sustainability perspective, because it is generated by electrolysing water using renewable electricity and has zero emissions. The production cost of green hydrogen depends on two factors – the cost of renewable power and the cost of the electrolysis equipment – and is currently more expensive than fossil fuel-based hydrogen production. However, with an expected decrease in the cost of both renewable electricity and electrolysing equipment, countries such as Egypt are seizing the opportunity to lead the way.

    First Hydrogen Applauds Hydrogen Alliance with Germany
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    2 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    First Hydrogen has congratulated Canadian Prime Minister Mr Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Mr Olaf Scholz on the monumental hydrogen alliance formed between Canada and Germany. The Company has expanded its Green Hydrogen production plans to North America, initial focus will be on Canada with its enormous resources of renewable energy (hydropower, solar and wind) that can be used to produce green hydrogen yielding no carbon emissions. Canada has identified the domestic deployment of hydrogen as a key to meeting its climate change commitments.
    
    On 6 July 2022, the Canadian government released its Clean Fuel Standard, which will aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the use of clean technologies and fuels. It was followed up with an announcement of funding for Medium-and-Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles, the iMHZEV program will provide CAD 547.5 million of funding over four years. This new policy commitment will aid in creating new demand for commercial vehicles using green hydrogen.
    
    First Hydrogen Energy is now commencing the development of four key green hydrogen production facilities in the UK following positive progress to date. The North American expansion is part of First Hydrogen's strategy to develop green hydrogen production in regions with strong policy support for green hydrogen and/or abundant renewable energy sources. The green hydrogen produced will be distributed nearby the production sites thereby minimizing distribution costs and also providing climate change, pollution reduction and energy resiliency benefits within the green hydrogen site's region.

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    2 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    World leader in zero-emissions transition New Zealand-based Fabrum and British engineering consultancy Filton Systems Engineering have joined forces with GKN Aerospace to help shift aviation towards hydrogen flight with end-to-end hydrogen fuel system technology.
    
    GKN Aerospace is the world’s leading multi-technology tier 1 aerospace supplier; with 38 manufacturing locations in 12 countries, they serve more than 90% of the world’s aircraft and engine manufacturers. This collaboration leverages FSE’s aerospace capability in fuel systems and designing fuel, air, hydraulic, inerting and engine systems, and Fabrum’s cryogenic and fuel tank storage technology and expertise in hydrogen fuel systems.
    
    The announcement coincides with FSE’s upgrade to their existing hot and cold fuel test facility to now offer both gaseous and liquid hydrogen in a world-first commercial test environment in Bristol, which has become a focal point globally for hydrogen flight activity. These test facilities enable aerospace companies to produce and test liquid hydrogen as a fuel for hydrogen test flights, with FSE providing further support towards certification for flight status.
    
    At the FSE test facility, a ground-based demonstrator of a 2.4 kW liquid hydrogen system has been jointly designed with GKN Aerospace, and built by FSE, under the Innovate UK-funded Safe Flight project. This end-to-end system demonstrates the feasibility of liquid hydrogen as an aircraft fuel source and addresses many of the safety concerns raised by the introduction of such a novel fuel. The project has developed storage and dispensing technologies, optimised purging systems, and integrated fuel tank design with distribution on aircraft (including vaporisation and conditioning) through to supplying a fuel cell with gaseous hydrogen at the required temperature and pressure over a range of electrical loads representative of a typical flight.
    
    Fabrum developed the ground-based end-to-end liquid hydrogen production solution for the test facility, including hydrogen conditioning, liquefaction and liquid hydrogen storage. Further upgrades are planned, including combining Fabrum’s cryogenic technologies with a membrane-free electrolyser to remove dependence on gaseous hydrogen supply.

    BMW Starts Fuel Cell Making in Munich for BMW iX5 Hydrogen

    BMW has inaugurated fuel cell system production at the company’s competence centre for #hydrogen in Munich on 31 August. The reason for this occasion is the small series of BMW iX5 Hydrogen cars that will be entering service around the world from the end of this year for test and demonstration purposes. The combination of #fuel cell and high-performance battery is set to enrich the company’s portfolio by adding a unique form of drive system for the premium segment. The BMW Group is playing a visionary and pioneering role in this technology with the aim of achieving a more diversified transition to zero-emission mobility.
    
    The BMW Group will now be manufacturing highly efficient fuel cell systems at its in-house competence centre for hydrogen. This technology is one of the core elements in the BMW iX5 Hydrogen and generates a high continuous output of 125 kW/170 hp. It teams up with an electric motor featuring fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology and a high-performance battery purpose developed for this vehicle to enable its powertrain to deliver 275 kW/374 hp. The development team incorporated the powerful drive system – comprising two hydrogen tanks, the fuel cell and the electric motor – into the existing #BMW X5 platform for the small production run. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen already successfully demonstrated its excellent everyday usability, even at very low temperatures, during the final round of winter testing in Sweden at the start of this year.
    
    BMW Group sources the individual fuel cells required for manufacturing the BMW iX5 Hydrogen from the Toyota Motor. The two companies have enjoyed a partnership characterised by trust for many years and have been collaborating on fuel cell drive systems since 2013. Fuel cell systems are manufactured in two main steps. The individual fuel cells are first assembled into a fuel cell stack. The next step involves fitting all the other components to produce a complete fuel cell system.
    
    Stacking of the fuel cells is a fully automated process. Once the individual components have been inspected for any damage, the stack is compressed by machine with a force of five tonnes and placed in housing. The stack housing is manufactured in the light metal foundry at BMW Group Plant Landshut using a sand casting technique. For this, molten aluminium is poured into a mould made from compacted sand mixed with resin in a process specially designed for this small-series vehicle. The pressure plate, which delivers hydrogen and oxygen to the fuel cell stack, is made from cast plastic parts and light-alloy castings, also from the Landshut plant. The pressure plate forms a gas-tight and water-tight seal around the stack housing.
    
    Final assembly of the #fuel cell stacks includes a voltage test along with extensive testing of the chemical reaction within the cells. Finally, all the different components are fitted together in the assembly area to produce the complete system. During this system assembly stage, further components are fitted, such as the compressor, the anode and cathode, the high-voltage coolant pump and the wiring harness.

    Hydrogen Water Taxi Launched in Rotterdam
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    6 Sep, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    Watertaxi Rotterdam has expanded its fleet with a hydrogen water taxi. It is the first ship in Europe's largest port to sail on this sustainable energy. The 12-person MSTX 22 was developed by SWIM, a partnership between Watertaxi Rotterdam, maritime innovator Flying Fish and hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer zepp.solutions from Delft, and the Rotterdam venture building studio Enviu. The hydrogen water taxi was christened on 30 August by Mrs Chantal Zeegers, alderman for Climate, Building and Living in Rotterdam.
    
    Length: 8.80 meters
    
    Width: 2.70 meters
    
    Draft: 60 centtimeters
    
    Capacity: 12 people
    
    Propulsion: Hydrogen-electric
    
    Battery Capacity: 33 kWh
    
    Power delivered: 45kW
    
    H2 storage: 14kg
    
    Hydrogen storage capacity: 9 hours of cruising speed
    
    Cruising speed: 16km/h (8.8 knots)
    
    Maximum speed: 25 km/h (13 knots) Engine power: 100 kW
    
    Design: Triple Marine in collaboration with Huibert Groenendijk
    
    The new MSTX 22 will be included in the Watertaxi Rotterdam timetable as soon as hydrogen can be bunkered in the port of Rotterdam. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is now developing the infrastructure for this, which will be ready at the beginning of 2023. The hydrogen water taxi fits in with Watertaxi Rotterdam's assignment to make its entire fleet more sustainable. In addition to the MSTX 22, Watertaxi Rotterdam already has six electric vessels in service.
    
    The Port of Rotterdam Authority, Uniper and Shell are already investing heavily in production facilities for green hydrogen on the Maasvlakte. Shell expects to be able to open the first hydrogen factory here in 2023. The Port of Rotterdam Authority and Uniper want to have a second hydrogen factory operational by 2024, also on the Maasvlakte.

    Schepen/boten op H2: Go Go Go
    
    Ondanks de opleving van de economie is de NOx-uitstoot in NL in 2021 iets gedaald.
    Zeescheepvaart is verantwoordelijk voor 1/3 van alle NOx-uitstoot. Het aandeel van wegverkeer daalt door schonere motoren: in 2010 was dit 27%, in 2021 nog 19%.

    Thyssenkrupp wil fabriek bouwen die met waterstof staal gaat maken
    8 sept 21:42
    Het Duitse industrie- en staalconcern Thyssenkrupp wil een fabriek in Duisburg gaan bouwen die met waterstof zogeheten groene staal gaat maken. Het gaat om een investering van meer dan €2 mrd. Thyssenkrupp hoopt dat de Duitse overheid een (groot) deel van de investering voor zijn rekening wil nemen.
    
    Nog dit jaar moeten opdrachten voor de bouw van de fabriek worden verleend. Het doel is om met de productie van groen staal in 2026 te beginnen. De nieuwe fabriek moet een capaciteit van 2,5 miljoen ton (groen) staal krijgen, een kwart van de totale staalproductie. Thyssenkrupp hoopt in 2030 de CO2-uitstoot met circa 30% te hebben gereduceerd.
    
    Thyssenkrupp maakte donderdag bekend dat de raad van commissarissen zich achter een voorstel voor de bouw van de fabriek van het bestuur van het staalconcern heeft geschaard.
    
    Tata Steel plan
    
    In Nederland wil ook Tata Steel groen staal gaan produceren. Dat concern maakte eind augustus bekend met drie grote partijen contracten te hebben gesloten voor het ontwerpen van een nieuwe fabriek in IJmuiden die met waterstof staal produceert. Het Indiase moederbedrijf steunt de benodigde investering van €65 mln. Het duurzaam maken van staal in Nederland is hiermee een stap dichterbij gekomen.
    
    De grootste CO2-uitstoter van Nederland besloot na maatschappelijke en politieke druk vorig jaar in te zetten op het produceren van staal met waterstof. Er ging een streep door de eerder gekozen techniek om CO2 te reduceren door het op te slaan in lege gasvelden in de Noordzee. Tata Steel wil in 2045 CO2-neutraal zijn.
