SFOC mentioned in a brand new report that South Korea’s Boryeong Blue Hydrogen Project, led by Korea Midland Power Co. (Komipo) and SK E&S, leading to important methane emissions. “This discovering contradicts claims by the federal government and the vitality trade that blue hydrogen is a local weather resolution,” SAYS SFOC. The $4 billion initiative goals to supply 250,000 tons of blue hydrogen per 12 months, primarily for energy technology at three current gas-fired energy crops and one new facility. “While the plan goals to exchange 30% of gasoline use in these services, the anticipated discount in emissions is barely 11%, in line with the research,” SFOC mentioned. “The new gasoline plant, with a deliberate co-firing charge of fifty%, it’s anticipated to attain solely 22% emissions diminishedn.” It admits that the restricted constructive influence on the local weather principally on account of low vitality ranges that hydrogen could make each quantity of gas in comparison with gasoline.
TE H2 and Verbund agreed to review the implementation of the H2 Notos inexperienced hydrogen undertaking in Tunisia for large-scale pipeline exports to Central Europe. TE H2, a three way partnership between TotalEnergies and the Eren Group, SAYS that the H2 Notos undertaking goals to supply inexperienced hydrogen by electrolyzing desalinated seawater utilizing renewable electrical energy from onshore photo voltaic and wind farms. Initially, the undertaking plans to supply 200,000 tons of inexperienced hydrogen per 12 months, with a possible enlargement to 1 million tons per 12 months in southern Tunisia. H2 Notos can profit from the SoutH2 Corridor, a devoted pipeline linking North Africa to Italy, Austria and Germany, which is scheduled to be commissioned round 2030.
PowerCell signed an order for 2 100 kW marine fuel-cell methods from OS Energy for the Transship II sustainable vessel undertaking. “This vary represents a big enlargement of in PowerCell choices to the section of smaller business and leisure vessels, together with retrofits and new builds, and exhibit that the expertise is prepared for wider use,” SAYS Sweden-based PowerCell.
Maritime Transfer obtained a certificates of inspection (COI) from the US Coast Guard, permitting Sea Change to start out zero-emission public ferry providers. The ship, powered by hydrogen gas cells, can journey as much as 300 nautical miles at a velocity of as much as 15 knots. Maritime Transfer SAYS that Sea Change is the primary hydrogen-fuel vessel within the United States to obtain this approval.
Shell and HD Hyundai revealed plans to collectively develop applied sciences for a liquefied hydrogen provider, in line with South Korean media experiences. HD Korea Shipbuilding will concentrate on massive liquefied hydrogen tanks and cargo working methods, whereas HD Hyundai Heavy Industries will develop hydrogen engines and design carriers.
