ENGIE Investing in Hydrogen Project with Yara in Australia Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:30 am ENGIE has taken the Final Investment Decision in the development of one of the world’s first industrial-scale renewable hydrogen projects, to be located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the first phase of the Yuri project will produce up to 640 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year as a zero carbon feedstock for Yara Australia’s ammonia production facility in Karratha. This will be key to developing a “Pilbara Green Hydrogen Hub”, serving local and export markets, and building on existing export infrastructure and abundant renewable energy resources in the region. Yuri project is being developed with the support of AU 47.5 million grant from The Australian Government’s ARENA Renewable Hydrogen Deployment Fund and a AUD 2 million grant by the Western Australian Government’s Renewable Hydrogen Fund. ENGIE has executed an agreement with Mitsui & Co, pursuant to which Mitsui has agreed to acquire a 28% stake in the joint venture company for the Yuri project, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the agreement. ENGIE and Mitsui intend to operate the Yuri project through this joint venture company. The project will include a 10 MW electrolyser powered by 18 MW of solar PV and supported by an 8 MW battery energy storage system, generating renewable hydrogen for use in Yara Australia’s ammonia facility at Karratha. Permitting is completed, a 100% offtake contract is in place with Yara and construction is set to commence by November 2022, thanks to a consortium made of Technip Energies and Monford Group selected as EPC contractor for the project. Once commissioned it will be amongst the largest renewable energy powered electrolysis in the world, which will provide lessons to accelerate the hydrogen industry in Australia and demonstrate the ability to integrate electrolysers with ammonia plants. The project will also share knowledge and experiences in the areas of community engagement, permit processes and industry participation.
EC Approves Support for Hydrogen Value Chain IPCEI Hy2Use Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:32 am The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a second Important Project of Common European Interest to support research and innovation, first industrial deployment and construction of relevant infrastructure in the hydrogen value chain. The project, called “IPCEI Hy2Use” was jointly prepared and notified by thirteen Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden. The Member States will provide up to USD 5.2 billion in public funding, which is expected to unlock additional USD 7 billion in private investments. As part of this IPCEI, 29 companies with activities in one or more Member States, including small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups, will participate in 35 projects. IPCEI Hy2Use will cover a wide part of the hydrogen value chain by supporting (i) the construction of hydrogen-related infrastructure, notably large-scale electrolysers and transport infrastructure, for the production, storage and transport of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen (ii) the development of innovative and more sustainable technologies for the integration of hydrogen into the industrial processes of multiple sectors, especially those that are more challenging to decarbonise, such as steel, cement and glass. The IPCEI is expected to boost the supply of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, thereby reducing dependency on the supply of natural gas. Several projects are expected to be implemented in the near future, with various large-scale electrolysers expected to be operational by 2024-2026 and many of the innovative technologies deployed by 2026-2027. The completion of the overall project is planned for 2036, with timelines varying in function of the project and the companies involved.
American Airlines Invests in Universal Hydrogen Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:33 am American Airlines has announced its strategic equity investment in Universal Hydrogen, a company building a green hydrogen distribution and logistics network for aviation. The investment supports American’s science based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, and ultimately its commitment to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050. This investment makes American the first US airline to make two direct investments focused on the development of both hydrogen-electric propulsion technology and the future of hydrogen distribution logistics. Universal Hydrogen’s fuel distribution network uses modular hydrogen capsules that are handled like cargo, eliminating the need for new fueling infrastructure at airports and speeding up fuel loading operations. Universal Hydrogen anticipates starting hydrogen deliveries for regional aircraft in 2025, with plans to expand its services to larger, single aisle aircraft, first for auxiliary power in the late-2020s and then as a primary fuel by the mid-2030s. Because these segments represent two-thirds of aviation emissions, and with green hydrogen being a true zero-carbon fuel , these advances put aviation on a path to meet Paris Agreement emissions targets. American joins Airbus Ventures, GE Aviation and Toyota Ventures, as well as several major hydrogen producers and aircraft lessors, as strategic investors in Universal Hydrogen.

Tevva Unveils 19-Tonne Hydrogen Electric Truck Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:36 am Electric and hydrogen truck OEM Tevva has unveiled its 19 tonne hydrogen-electric truck and announce its strategy for mainland Europe at the IAA Transportation show in Hanover in Germany. The company is partnering with its wide portfolio of customers, including Kinaxia Logistics, Codognotto and FM Logistic, to showcase its range of full-electric and hydrogen-electric medium-duty (7.5t to 19t / Class 5 to 8) truck solutions designed for the European market. Its largest truck platform launch to date, Tevva’s 19t hydrogen-electric model represents a significant milestone and highlights the scalability of its technology. As with the 7.5t hydrogen-electric model, the 19t variant benefits from the company’s revolutionary dual energy system, combining lithium-ion batteries and a hydrogen fuel cell range extender. The truck is expected to have a range of up to 500km depending on the number of hydrogen cylinders specified, which can be refilled in 10 minutes. Tevva is pioneering a practical hydrogen fuel cell application that is unique to medium-duty trucks. By adding a hydrogen fuel cell range extender that replenishes the battery throughout the day, Tevva has created zero-emission urban trucks that eliminate range anxiety and can replace diesel trucks on all routes. The dual energy system also futureproofs Tevva and its customers as Europe transitions away from fossil fuels and looks to decarbonise the transportation sector. The company has already started production at its UK facility where it has begun to build European vehicles. Work is underway for a second facility in mainland Europe, which will utilise Tevva’s agile low-capex, rapid implementation production system and double manufacturing capacity to 6,000 trucks per year by 2024. Each facility will produce 7.5t to 19t (Class 5 to 8) trucks for customers in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Benelux. Tevva is targeting these markets before expanding its reach into other parts of Europe, North America and the Middle East.
Volvo Trucks to Begin Customer Testing Of Fuel Cell Trucks in 2025 Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:37 am Volvo Trucks are running tests of fuel cell electric trucks that only emit water vapour and have an operational range comparable to diesel trucks, up to 1,000 km. A second pilot phase is to follow in a few years’ time and will see customer tests on public roads. The testing of fuel cell electric trucks in commercial traffic will start in 2025 with selected customers in Northern Europe, followed by additional trucks in more countries over the coming years. The goal of the pilot tests will be to look at all different aspects of the truck’s operation including working components, handling and driver experience. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric trucks will be especially suitable for long distance and heavy, energy-demanding assignments. They could also be an option in countries where battery charging possibilities are limited. A fuel cell generates its own electricity from the hydrogen onboard instead of being charged from an external source. The only biproduct emitted is water vapour. Volvo’s electric trucks will use two fuel cells with a capacity to generate 300 kW of power and will have a refuel time of less than 15 minutes.
Iberdrola & Foresa to Lead Green Methanol Production in Spain Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:39 am Iberdrola and Foresa have taken a step forward to lead the production of green methanol in Spain. Both companies, in their commitment to promote a sustainable energy transition, have joined forces to act as a key agent in the transformation of the industrial fabric of our country.To this end, they are promoting renewable methanol projects, which will be the first step in a profound decarbonisation process in Galicia based on the replacement of grey methanol with renewable methanol. The first of the projects they are working on is Green UMIA, a project located in the town of Caldas de Reis (Pontevedra) that will reduce 58,000 tons of CO2 during its first 10 years of operation, as a result of the production of 2,900 tn/year of renewable methanol per year, which will be used by Foresa itself to incorporate them into a wide variety of industries. The Green UMIA project will involve an investment of over EUR 40 million For methanol to be considered green, the energy supply necessary for the production of green hydrogen must come from newly constructed renewable generation sources. For this purpose, an energy supply agreement will be established from the Castro Valente wind farm located 12 km from the future methanol plant. The wind farm is located in the municipalities of Padrón (A Coruña) and A Estrada (Pontevedra), and consists of the installation of 3 wind turbines of 6 MW each, with a total power of 18 MW. The construction of this wind farm will involve an investment of approximately 14 million euros.

Xcel & Bloom Energy to Produce Hydrogen at Nuclear Facility Strategic Research Institute Published on : 17 Oct, 2022, 3:44 am Bloom Energy announced plans to install an electrolyzer at Xcel Energy’s Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in Welch in Minnesota. The installation is designed to augment existing clean energy nuclear infrastructure to create immediate and scalable pathways to produce cost-efficient, clean hydrogen, supporting the growing hydrogen economy while enhancing value for operators of zero-carbon nuclear facilities. Bloom Energy’s electrolyzer, built on its solid oxide platform, operates at high temperatures to convert water into hydrogen. Pairing solid oxide electrolysis with nuclear energy’s technology is a preferred method of unlocking unmatched efficiencies. The high heat and steam produced by Xcel Energy’s Prairie Island facility feeds into Bloom Energy’s electrolyzer to produce zero-carbon hydrogen more efficiently than low temperature electrolysis alternatives like polymer electrolyte membrane or alkaline. These low temperature alternatives require roughly 40% more electricity, providing the Bloom Electrolyzer an efficiency advantage that is expected to significantly drive down the cost of hydrogen production. The Prairie Island facility, one of Xcel Energy’s two nuclear power plants that produce nearly 30% of the electricity provided to its customers in the Upper Midwest, faces extreme winter weather annually, leading Xcel Energy to specifically turn to Bloom Energy for its resiliency benefits. Operating reliably and efficiently with an expected 99% uptime, we believe the installation will demonstrate how electrolyzers can leverage the energy output from nuclear to support hydrogen production even during harsh conditions.

Bedrijven rollen productie uit dankzij extra offshoreparken voor onze kust Waterstof knalt als energiebron in Nederland Door THEO BESTEMAN Gisteren, 20:48 in FINANCIEEL AMSTERDAM - In stilte rolt Nederland een immens netwerk voor waterstof als energiebron uit. Dankzij de hoge gasprijs versnelt de invoering. Kilometers aan oude gasleidingen worden omgebouwd. Grote industriegebieden leggen eigen leidingen richting havens aan, waar de waterstof van een toenemend aantal windmolenparken als energiebron wordt geïmporteerd. Consument tankt nog nauwelijks waterstof, maar dat gaat komende decennia veranderen. ANP / HH „Het is nog niet zichtbaar voor consumenten, maar dit wordt in 2050 een van de grootste energiemarkten”, zegt onderzoeker René Peters van TNO. „Nederland heeft een behoorlijk voordeel. We zijn gezegend met veel zee voor grote windmolenparken, we hebben goed toegeruste havens en een landelijk gasnetwerk dat als transporteur kan dienen. Ook voor export naar de rest van Europa.” Via elektrolyse-machines wordt de kracht van windmolenwieken via turbines omgezet van elektrische energie naar de waterstof. Een standaard elektrolyse-container voor 2,2 megawatt vermogen kost rond €2,5 miljoen. Het eindproduct wordt al vaker bij windturbines zelf opgeslagen, of via pijpleidingen getransporteerd. „Het voordeel van waterstof is dat je daarvoor de oude gasbuizen kunt gebruiken. Zo belast je het al volle elektriciteitsnetwerk veel minder”, aldus Peters. Waterstof stond lang op achterstand. Op 6 mei 1937 explodeerde de met waterstof gevulde zeppelin Hindenburg na kortsluiting boven New Jersey. Het duurde jaren voordat het gas weer volledig werd ingezet, en dan nog uitsluitend in de industrie, schetst Peters. Sinds 2003 rijden er Nederlandse waterstofstadsbussen. Waterstof is in zijn puurste vorm een kleurloos, geurloos en niet-giftig gas. Het wordt ook geleverd voor de aanmaak van ammoniak en kunstmest. En zelfs voor olieraffinage. Groen en grijs Veel waterstof wordt nu echter verkocht als groen, gemaakt van zon- of windenergie. Maar in realiteit is 95% van de waterstof nog ’grijs’, gewonnen uit aardgas en kolen. Of ’blauw’, waarbij van ’grijs’ de schadelijke CO2-uitstoot eerst wordt afgevangen. Begin oktober schrapte Brussel een serie beperkingen voor productie van groene waterstof, de Europese Commissie legde ook nog €5,2 miljard neer voor de inhaalslag. Desondanks is de opmars in volume nog beperkt. „Waterstof speelt nog nauwelijks een rol in de energievoorziening van Nederland”, schetst Sanne de Boer, analist bij RaboResearch en auteur van het boek De energietransitie uitgelegd. „Kleinverbruikers kunnen geen waterstof afnemen van een energieleverancier.” De politiek subsidieert een omslag. Volgens het in 2019 gesloten Klimaatakkoord moet er in 2030 zeker 4 gigawatt groene waterstof komen. Regeringspartijen VVD en D66 en oppositiefracties vragen het kabinet nu om een verdubbeling. Vooral om snel de afhankelijkheid van Russisch gas te beperken. Met landen rond de Noordzee sprak minister Jetten (Klimaat en Energie) ook af 20 gigawatt aan waterstof te produceren. Werna Udding, bij Gasunie verantwoordelijk voor offshore waterstof, onderzoekt daarom inmiddels de aanleg van een compleet offshore waterstofnetwerk. Want aanleg van stroomkabels vanaf de windmolens naar land zou €36 miljard kosten; transport via buizen of verpakt op schepen is veel goedkoper. Verdubbeling „We hebben niet genoeg stroom in Nederland om daarmee de economische groei op te vangen. Dat tekort was er ook al voor de Russische aanvallen in Oekraïne”, zo verklaart directeur Olof van der Gaag van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Duurzame Energie (NVDE) de interesse bij ondernemers in uitbreiding. „Er is een verdubbeling van capaciteit nodig. Bedrijven willen wel.” Acht nieuwe waterstofprojecten kregen onlangs in Nederland €758 miljoen subsidie. Den Haag denkt dat de bedrijven vervolgens zelf nog eens €7 miljard investeren. „Onze potentiële energiecapaciteit is enorm. Nederland loopt in Europa redelijk voorop”, overziet ING-energiespecialist Gerben Hieminga de plannen. „Dankzij onze lange gashistorie”, nuanceert Cyril Widdershoven, energie-analist. „Een gasinfrastructuur opzetten, reguleren en investeren – waterstof is uiteindelijk doodgewoon een gas. Een gasmarkt hiervoor opzetten, dat kunnen we wel.” Terwijl Gasunie 1100 kilometer aan stalen gasleidingen en koppelstukken omzet voor gebruik van waterstof, broedt de Europese Unie op een nog ruimere markt. Bedrijven worden immers gedwongen hun uitstoot te beperken, wat met groene waterstof snel kan. „De industrie zal graag overgaan op waterstof”, zegt Van der Gaag van de NVDE. „Want daar is de grootste CO2-besparing voor ze te behalen.” Toenemend aantal Nederlandse windparken zorgt voor meer groene waterstof, maar import blijft nodig. ANP/HH Waterstofpoeder Dat gebeurt bij vijf grote industriële clusters van uitstoters: de Rotterdamse Maasvlakte, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, de regio Amsterdam, Eemshaven/Delfzijl en Chemelot in Limburg. „Al die clusters zijn via ons gasnetwerk te bedienen”, aldus de woordvoerder van Gasunie. Vooral in het noorden verzamelen zich nu veel start-ups in waterstof bij de havens. Zoals Electriq Global, dat waterstof in poedervorm levert. De meeste versnelling wordt verwacht van Shell, dat op de Maasvlakte voor €1 miljard aan elektrolyse-systemen bouwt. Tata Steel, de grootste uitstoter van CO2 in Nederland, stak onlangs €65 miljoen in de eerste fabrieksinstallaties die cokes en kolen vervangen en met waterstof ’groen’ staal moeten produceren. „Inmiddels sluiten veel meer bedrijven in de IJmond zich bij waterstofproductie aan”, aldus de woordvoerder. „Zo’n vraag van Tata, die over twee jaar wil beginnen, zet enorme druk op windsector om groene waterstof te leveren. Tata is goed voor zo’n 600 kiloton, dat is heel veel”, zegt Peters van TNO. „En zulke vraag naar waterstof komt nu uit heel Europa.” In de Botlek bouwt Air Products zijn tweede grote waterstoffabriek. In 2025 moet die zorgen voor verdubbeling van de Europese productie. De totale eigen groene Nederlandse waterstof is desondanks voorlopig nog niet voldoende, aldus de zegsman van Havenbedrijf Rotterdam. Dat heeft met de Spaanse leverancier Cepsa een deal gesloten om waterstof uit Algeciras aan te voeren voor de industrie. „We kijken ook naar import uit het Ruhrgebied”, aldus de Gasunie-woordvoerder. ’Klein spul’ Veel transporteurs experimenteren. Maar ze wachten op waterstofaanbod in grote volumes, anders loont het voor een waterstoftruckvloot niet. Ook de vervuilende scheepvaart heeft, met inwisselbare waterstofcontainers, een teen in het diepe gestoken. „Om de industrie voor komende jaren te laten investeren, het gaat vaak om miljarden, moet de overheid de onzekerheid wegnemen. Geef duidelijk aan wat we als bedrijven kunnen verwachten”, zegt Rik Harmsen van de branchevereniging van de windsector NWEA. Wat ook snel nodig is voor die bredere invoering van waterstof als energiebron is een handelsprijs, zegt energie-analist Widdershoven. „Zolang handelaren op de grondstoffenmarkten niet willen instappen op een prijs voor waterstof, dan blijft het klein spul.”www.telegraaf.nl/financieel/100152353...
