   Bilfinger Supporting Gasunie’s Hydrogen Storage Project
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   22 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   Hydrogen is an important source of green energy because it has a high energy density, low capital costs and can be easily transported using the existing energy network. To store the green energy for peak demands, hydrogen is filled into caverns in deep layers of the earth. European energy infrastructure company Bilfinger is supporting with the engineering of an underground hydrogen storage facility near Zuidwending in the Netherlands. This new green hydrogen storage facility will store green energy from sources such as wind parks or photovoltaic installations that is available in the short and long-term and will offset any future imbalance in supply and demand of green hydrogen. Bilfinger will deliver the Basic Engineering for the entire plant, including equipment, piping, pipelines, buildings, infrastructure etc. The facility will inject the green hydrogen into caverns into deep underground salt layers.
   
   Bilfinger will provide the basic engineering for the above-ground installation. This will give Gasunie a precise picture of the storage facility with all technical, safety and environmental requirements. Bilfinger and Gasunie have been working together for many years and are benefitting from the knowledge and experience gained from former natural gas storage facilities.
   
   The compressor stations will inject around 76 million cubic meters of hydrogen gas into each of the four planned caverns. The aim is to establish a total storage capacity of approximately 26 million kg of hydrogen. The large-scale hydrogen storage site is a completely new approach and will be managed by a multidisciplinary team at Bilfinger with extensive technical knowledge and experience. The installation and first hydrogen cavern is scheduled to be operational by 2026 and will be an important part of the hydrogen infrastructure in the Netherlands.

   Ook ik zit in dit aandeel en al een hele poos. Helaas te lang blijven zitten, dus ik zal nu ook blijven zitten. Die 100 euro die ik nog overhoud, is het risico ook nog wel waard.
   
   Ik heb nog steeds een redelijk goed gevoel bij dit aandeel. Waterstof gaat de toekomst worden en zal ook gebruikt kan worden bij het zware vervoer. Dit is allemaal nog in de beginfase, waardoor ook dit bedrijf nog kans van slagen heeft. Over een jaar of 3 kan ik pas bepalen of dit een blunder van mij was of dat ik de goede keuze heb gemaakt om te blijven zitten.
   
   Daarnaast geeft het mij een positief gevoel, dat dit aandeel hard steeg op de aankondiging dat BMW in 2023 (?), een waterstofauto op de markt wilt zetten. Helaas is deze stijging weer teniet gedaan, maar toch.
   
   Als laatste doet de koers het bij mij nog wel.

   Hier een andere waterstof liefhebber!
   
   Ik ken deze niet. Maar lees dat ze 100 h2 stations in de usa hebben voor auto's en vrachtwagens. alleen nog geen inkomsten!
   
   Heb diverse scandinavische en us aandelen van waterstof bedrijven. Zoals nel, everfuel, hydrogenpro, hexagon purus, plugpower, ballard, fuelcell.
   
   Deze hebben mi ook grote potentie, alleen je moet wel veel geduld hebben gezien de koersontwikkelingen de afgelopen jaren. Het is mi voorlopig nog een industrie waar de r&d kosten hoog blijven en de revenues laag. Maar dat maakt het ook weer interessant om ze te volgen. En te gaan zien welke het gaan maken en welke niet!
   
   Succes

    H2 Green Steel & BMW Sign Pact for Delivery of CO2-Reduced Steel
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Aug, 2022, 6:46 am
    
    Global auto giant BMW Group and Swedish start up H2 Green Steel have signed a final contract on the delivery of CO2 reduced steel. The agreement addresses BMW Group’s upstream scope 3 emissions and includes recycling and end-of-life management measures. As part of solidifying a binding agreement, BMW Group and H2 Green Steel have also agreed on technical cooperation which will include several measures that address BMW Group’s Science Based Targets and contribute to meeting its ambitious CO2 reduction timeline.
    
    H2 Green Steel is committed to the Scope 1, 2 and upstream Scope 3 requirements as defined in the GHG Protocol. The company has a gross embodied carbon emission intensity obligation per tonne of steel, included in its customer contracts. H2 Green Steel’s work to reduce emissions will impact BMW Group’s material supply chain and its upstream Scope 3 emissions.
    
    Additionally, recycling scrap is an important part of the equation which further ensures circularity. In a pioneering move, both companies have therefore agreed to have 40% of the pre-consumer steel scrap of the volumes returned to H2 Green Steel's electric arc furnaces for re-cycling.
    
    According to H2 Green Steel’s definition of green steel, actual CO2 reductions and improving circularity are both key. Therefore, green steel must be produced from a combination of a significant amount of green virgin iron and scrap in a production process which uses electricity from renewable energy sources. The total CO2 emissions in such a process must be more than 90%t lower than that of traditional steelmaking in a blast furnace process.
    
    H2 Green Steel was founded in 2020 with the ambition to accelerate the decarbonization of the steel industry, using green hydrogen. Steel, which is one of the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitters, is the company’s first business vertical. The founder and largest shareholder of H2 Green Steel is Vargas, which is also co-founder and one of the larger shareholders in Swedish battery maker Northvolt. H2 Green Steel is headquartered in Stockholm in Sweden, with its first green steel plant under development in Boden in northern Sweden. After receiving the permissibility for its 5 million tonne steel plant in northern Sweden on 1 July, the company moves into the construction phase of its journey towards producing green steel.

    Brazil Establishes National Hydrogen Program
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    Brazil’s National Energy Policy Council CNPE has established the National Hydrogen Program PNH2. According to the governance structure of the PNH2, the coordination and supervision of the planning and implementation of activities will be the responsibility of a Management Committee, made up of various bodies and entities of the Federal Public Administration. The objective is to strengthen the hydrogen market and industry as an energy vector in Brazil.
    
    In recent years, the hydrogen market has become a priority in the climate and energy strategy of several countries, as it provides an alternative for sectors that are difficult to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, hydrogen is also an energy vector, which enables storage and favors the coupling of the energy sector with those of industry and transport.
    
    Brazil has great potential to stand out in this market, given the competitive advantage presented, with more than 80% of the electricity matrix coming from renewable sources. In addition, Brazil has a wide range of energy resources that can be used for the production of low-carbon hydrogen through different technological routes.
    
    The use of hydrogen as an energy vector still presents significant technological and market challenges, throughout its entire energy chain production, transport, storage and consumption. This imposes the need for a structured look at market and industry development. In this way, the strategic orientation aims to develop a hydrogen economy in Brazil in harmony with the other sources of our energy matrix.

    Works Begin at Dakin University's Hydrogen R&D Facility
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    Works have begun at Australia's first hydrogen fuel cell research and development facility at Deakin University's Warrnambool campus, with construction expected to be completed in late 2023. Hycel Technology Hub, a cornerstone facility within Deakin’s AUD 23 million hydrogen research and innovation program, including co-funding by the Victorian Government AUD 9 million and Deakin University AUD 5 million. The Hycel Technology Hub will see the development, assembly, testing, and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cells, with a focus on developing fuel cells for heavy vehicles, starting with heavy haulage trucks, and potentially progressing to other larger scale uses including trains or boats.
    
    The project includes the construction of a new 2200 sqm facility at the Warrnambool campus with specialised fuel cell assembly and testing equipment and a heavy vehicle integration bay, along with training facilities and a multi-functional space for education and demonstration activities.
    
    The facility will form part of a broader hydrogen precinct on the campus which currently includes the existing Hydrogen Test Beds, where researchers from Deakin’s Institute of Frontier Materials are testing the efficacy of plastic piping to understand if Australia's gas network can safely transport 100 per cent hydrogen in the future.
    
    Other proposed hydrogen projects within the precinct include a hydrogen boiler demonstration using 100 per cent hydrogen fuel for domestic hot water and hydronic heating, as well as potentially supporting Warrnambool Bus Line’s new hydrogen bus refuelling station and depot as they convert their fleet from diesel to hydrogen fuel cell buses, making it the first public bus deployment of its kind in Australia.
    
    The Hycel Technology Hub is being built by southwest Victorian group Fairbrother Construction, with construction expected to be completed in late 2023. It will support up to 200 jobs over the life of the project, including around 50 construction jobs and 16 in the energy sector.
    
    Hydrogen fuel cells convert hydrogen into electricity that can then be used to power vehicles and similarly in stationary applications to power or heat homes, businesses, and industry.

    Sibanye Stillwater & Heraeus Join Hands for Electrolyser Catalysts
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    South African miner Sibanye-Stillwater and leading provider of precious metals services and products Heraeus Precious Metals have agreed to jointly collaborate on research and development of novel Platinum Group Metals containing electrocatalysts with high activity and stability for Proton Exchange Membrane electrolysers utilised in the production of Green Hydrogen, amongst others. The project will be equally funded by the parties over a three-year period. The results will be mutually commercialized, and the parties will cooperate on communication and marketing of the novel catalyst.
    
    Platinum and iridium are cunently essential components of electrocatalysts for the generation of green hydrogen by means of PEM electrolysis. Iridium, however, is one of the scarcest PGMs and its limited availability is a potential constraint on the future widespread adoption of PGM PEM electrolysers. Reducing iridium loadings in PEM electrocatalysts is key to ensuring a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem, enabling PEM technology to be cost competitive to make triple digit giga-watt-scale a reality within the next decade.
    
    Technologies that reduce or replace iridium with for example ruthenium offer significant potential. The partners aim to develop a new, robust solution based on looking at the substitution of iridium with other metals, as well as developing more sophisticated metal oxide structures.
    
    Heraeus Precious Metals is an established and recognized international technology group with significant technical and intellectual expertise in the design of electrocatalysts for PEM electrolysis and in innovative solutions for the sustainable and cost-effective use of precious metals catalysts.
    
    Sibanye-Stillwater, as a leading provider of green metals, including platinum, iridium, and ruthenium invests in market development and in innovative technologies that enable sustainable demand for the metals it produces.

Aurora Hydrogen’s technology uses microwave energy to convert methane to hydrogen and solid carbon without generating CO2. Williams’ investment will support scaling production to 200 kg of hydrogen per day, with the development of a demonstration plant by 2023. Williams was joined by Energy Innovation Capital, Chevron Technology Ventures, Shell Ventures and the George Kaiser Family Foundation in the investment in Aurora Hydrogen.
    
    Hydrogen production from the Aurora technology has the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions significantly while using less electricity than other methods of hydrogen production and avoiding the need for CO2 sequestration. Additionally, the process does not require water as a feedstock, preserving another critical resource.
    
    Williams made its investment through its Corporate Venture Capital program, which is intended to support efforts to commercialize emerging technologies including clean hydrogen, solar, carbon capture utilization and storage and next generation natural gas.
    
    Through the CVC, Williams has also committed approximately USD 40 million toward venture funds and direct investment in emerging technology companies at the forefront of energy transition. This includes a recently funded partnership with Context Labs to offer differentiated services to customers across the natural gas value chain. The initiative will overlay advanced sensors, satellite monitoring and blockchain technology to provide end-to-end measured, verifiable and transparent emissions data for real-time decision-making.

    Nel ASA has decided to build a new fully automated production line at Herøya in Norway, doubling its capacity for production of alkaline electrolyser stacks to about 1 GW. The new production line is expected to be in operation from April 2024. Total capex commitment for the equipment will be approximately EUR 35 million.
    
    Nel’s facility at Herøya is the world’s first fully automated electrolyser manufacturing factory, and was officially opened by Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Lien Aasland, in April this year. The factory is currently running on three shifts and is setting weekly production records. Towards year end the company expects to have five shifts running. While the current production capacity is 500 MW, it can be expanded to 2 GW, which will also generate a significant amount of new direct and indirect workplaces in the area around Herøya and Porsgrunn, Norway.
    
    The investment decision was made only weeks after the company received a record size order for 200 MW of alkaline electrolyser stacks from an US customer.

    Doral Energy & H2Pro Ink Pact for Hydrogen Electrolyzers
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Aug, 2022, 5:30 am
    
    H2Pro and Doral Energy have announced the signing of a strategic purchase agreement. Doral, as a global renewable energy developer, with 15 GW of renewable assets under development, is planning to execute a large green hydrogen project pipeline worldwide. To support this plan, Doral secured access to 200 MW of H2Pro's E-TAC systems for its projects in Europe, the United States and Israel and will purchase minimum quantities subject to E-TAC system performance.
    
    Beyond investing in H2Pro via Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, Doral's Corporate VC, the first step of the partnership is already taken as H2Pro and Doral launched the project of a pilot system of 0.4 MW scheduled for 2023 in Kibbutz Yotvata, Israel. The project is supported by the Israeli Ministry of Energy. Green Hydrogen will be produced by H2Pro's E-TAC technology. Doral develops a photovoltaic plant which will produce electricity for the project. The hydrogen will be blended with natural gas for use in the nearby Yotvata dairy factory.
    
    Alongside its partners, Doral is also leading the efforts to develop a subsequent project extension into a 30 MW Hydrogen hub based on H2Pro's technology. After these first projects, H2Pro will continue supplying E-TAC electrolyzers according to the agreement until 2030.
    
    Founded in 2019 and based in Caesarea, Israel, H2Pro develops E-TAC - a revolutionary method for producing green hydrogen by splitting water that is over 95% efficient, safe and cost-competitive with fossil-fuel hydrogen. H2Pro's technology, known as E-TAC (Electrochemical - Thermally Activated Chemical), uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. However, unlike electrolysis, hydrogen and oxygen are produced at separate steps. This eliminates the need for a costly membrane, allows for a simpler construction and significantly lowers power consumption compared to electrolysis.
    
    H2Pro is backed by leading investors and strategic partners, such as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Temasek, Horizons Ventures, ArcelorMittal, Yara Growth Ventures, Hyundai, Sumitomo Corporation, Bazan and New Fortress Energy. E-TAC is based on years of research conducted by its founding team at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. H2Pro is the winner of Shell's 2020 New Energy Challenge.
