SFOC stated in a brand new report that South Korea’s Boryeong Blue Hydrogen Venture, led by Korea Midland Energy Co. (Komipo) and SK E&S, will end in important methane emissions. “This discovering contradicts claims by the federal government and the power trade that blue hydrogen is a local weather resolution,” stated SFOC. The $4 billion initiative goals to supply 250,000 tons of blue hydrogen per 12 months, primarily for energy era at three current gas-fired energy crops and one new facility. “Whereas the plan goals to exchange 30% of fuel use at these services, the anticipated discount in emissions is barely 11%, in response to the research,” stated SFOC. “The brand new fuel plant, with a deliberate co-firing price of fifty%, is predicted to realize solely a 22% emissions reduction.” It claimed that the restricted optimistic local weather impression would primarily be as a result of decrease quantity of power that hydrogen can produce per quantity of gas in comparison with fuel.
T.E. H2 and Verbund have agreed to review the implementation of the H2 Notos inexperienced hydrogen mission in Tunisia for large-scale pipeline exports to Central Europe. T.E. H2, a three way partnership between TotalEnergies and the Eren Group, stated that the H2 Notos mission goals to supply inexperienced hydrogen by electrolyzing desalinated seawater utilizing renewable electrical energy from onshore photo voltaic and wind farms. Initially, the mission plans to supply 200,000 tons of inexperienced hydrogen per 12 months, with potential growth to 1 million tons per 12 months in southern Tunisia. H2 Notos may gain advantage from the SoutH2 Hall, a devoted pipeline linking North Africa to Italy, Austria and Germany, which is scheduled for commissioning round 2030.
PowerCell has signed an order for 2 100 kW marine fuel-cell methods from O.S. Vitality for the Transship II sustainable vessel mission. “This order represents a major growth of PowerCell’s choices into the section of smaller business and leisure vessels, together with each retrofits and new builds, and reveals that the know-how is prepared for wider uptake,” stated Sweden-based PowerCell.
Swap Maritime has secured a certificates of inspection (COI) from the US Coast Guard, permitting the Sea Change to start zero-emission public ferry providers. The vessel, powered by hydrogen gas cells, can journey as much as 300 nautical miles at speeds as much as 15 knots. Swap Maritime stated that Sea Change is the primary hydrogen-fuel vessel in the US to obtain this approval.
Shell and H.D. Hyundai have revealed plans to collectively develop applied sciences for liquefied hydrogen carriers, in response to South Korean media studies. H.D. Korea Shipbuilding will give attention to giant liquefied hydrogen tanks and cargo working methods, whereas H.D. Hyundai Heavy Industries will develop hydrogen engines and design the carriers.
