Lhyfe is set to produce the first kilograms of renewable green hydrogen at quay and then sea, operating automatically, in the most extreme conditions through a new pilot site. Having already inaugurated the world’s first site for the production of hydrogen from onshore wind turbines last year, it has now done likewise for offshore, having […]

The UK is uniquely positioned to lead on the development of a vibrant net zero energy economy, though this will call for rapid investment in technology innovation throughout the next 10 years, which are set to prove crucial, according to the Technology Leadership Board, Net Zero Technology Centre and Accenture. Setting the scene within their […]

Image: Announced investments by maturity, direct hydrogen investments until 2030, USD billion – Hydrogen Council While the global pipeline of hydrogen projects is continuing to grow – 680 large-scale project proposals have been unveiled thus far in 2022 – actual deployment is lagging, with the urgency to invest in mature hydrogen projects now “greater than […]

Alstom has revealed its hydrogen-powered train was able to cover 1,175 kilometres in Germany without having to refuel its tank, representing a “new global milestone for clean, alternative drives in rail transport”. Its Coradia iLint train, which is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell that produces electrical power for traction, started out in Bremervörde, having […]

Eni UK has unveiled plans for a Bacton Thames Net Zero Initiative after applying for a carbon storage license for the depleted Hewett field in the Southern North Sea (SNS). The Bacton Thames Net Zero Initiative, launched in support of the application, will strive to decarbonise and unlock new greener growth opportunities for the automotive, […]

However, progress to date remains limited and that must […]

The UK is set to exceed its 2030 low carbon hydrogen target with blue hydrogen projects alone, based on the current pipeline, according to analysis. On 14 September, Westwood Global Energy Group published research, setting out how blue hydrogen projects represent over 16GW of total announced hydrogen capacity in the UK and Norway. There are […]

Image by NakNakNak from Pixabay The European Commission (EC) has signalled its ambition to create a new €3bn European Hydrogen Bank. It came as the EC broke cover with proposals for emergency market intervention, aimed at reducing energy bills for Europeans, made up of “exceptional electricity demand reduction measures” and measures to redistribute surplus revenues […]

Back in October of last year, Cadent released its “Hydrogen Ten Point Plan”, where it signalled its ambition to make hydrogen a safe, fair and reliable choice for consumers, and set out how it will go about delivering that. It has now published a first update to that plan, detailing its progress over the last […]
