Our dedicated news department gathers news and press releases from around the world to bring our community the latest developments in hydrogen technology. Here you can find news involving the people and companies involved in the production, storage and transport of hydrogen.
Topics such as electrolyzers, materials, flow control, compressors, sealings and storage tanks are covered as well as interviews with specialists, manufacturers and end users alike.
If you wish to include your news items and press releases in our publication, email newsletter or on our website please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Water electrolyzers are electrochemical devices used to split water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passage of an electrical current. There are four main types of electrolyzers: alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are already mature, while anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide electrolyzers are still under development. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in cell design and variations within components. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of electrolyzer technologies, equipment and components. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Chinese company Weichai Power has launched a stationary power solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system based on the technology of its strategic partner Ceres. At the launch ceremony held in Jinan, China, Weichai announced that its SOFC system has passed the EU CE certification of TÜD SÜD.
DNV is launching the second phase of H2Pipe, a joint industry project (JIP) aiming to develop a new code for the design, re-qualification, construction and operation of offshore pipelines to transport hydrogen – either pure or blended with natural gas. Phase 2 will be kicked off in late March 2023 and is open for more partners to join.
LONGi Hydrogen, a wholly owned subsidiary of China’s solar giant LONGi Green Energy Technology, has launched its new generation of alkaline electrolyzers. The performance of the ALK Hi1 series products has been certified by third-party authorities such as Det Norske Veritas and DEKRA Testing and Certification (Shanghai).
FuelCell Energy and Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB), have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop large-scale solid-oxide electrolyzer facilities in Asia, New Zealand and Australia.
Bureau Veritas Italia has approved the Emerson BM6X series slam-shut valve for use in applications with up to 100% hydrogen and pressures up to 100 bar. The certification confirms the verification of material suitability, based on seal tests performed at the Emerson production plant in Bologna, Italy.
Lhyfe has obtained the construction permit for its second green hydrogen production site in the Morbihan region of Brittany, France, and is about to begin preparatory construction work. Lhyfe Bretagne will have the capacity to produce up to 2 tonnes of green and renewable hydrogen per day (5 MW).
In La Robla, Spain, Enagás Renovable and Naturgy plan to construct a renewable hydrogen plant with a production capacity of up to 280 MW. Scheduled to start up in 2026, the plant will be located on the site of Naturgy’s former thermal power plant, which is currently in the process of being decommissioned.
RMIT University researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater, skipping the need for desalination and its associated cost, energy consumption and carbon emissions. What is more, the new process generates no chlorine as a by-product.
