Verdagy collaborated with Shell to successfully complete a rigorous safety review along with a detailed design and technology development review of Verdagy’s electrolyzers. These electrolyzers claim to provide the lowest levelized cost of hydrogen by combining high current densities, the widest operating range in the industry and fast response, to enable seamless coupling with renewable power sources.

MOL Group has updated its long-term strategy and now aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 via a smart transition. The updated strategy focuses on renewable fuels, green hydrogen, biomethane and geothermal energy and the firm will spend more than 4 billion dollars on green investments.

Organosulfur skeletons are crucial in many fields, including pharmaceuticals and electronics. Synthesizing organosulfur skeletons requires o-bromobenzenethiols. However, conventional methods face challenges due to quick oxidation and formation of highly reactive intermediates. In a new study, researchers from Japan developed a new method for synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates via bromothiolation. This method can pave the way for the synthesis of new organosulfur compounds with applications in diverse fields.

Solenis has gone ahead and acquired the professional cleaning solutions supplier firm Lilleborg from Orkla. With this move, the company aims to expand into the Norwegian water treatment market by offering its food and beverage customers with an expanded portfolio of solutions.

Heirloom has plans to build two Direct Air Capture facilities in Louisiana, USA. The projects aim at eliminating nearly 320,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

The same developments happening in the rest of the world are also reshaping laboratories: the increasing use of technology, digital tools and, of course, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). All these trends often go hand in hand with a greater awareness of environmental issues. In this trend report, we present a summary of the fruits these developments are already bearing and will bear in the future.

With an aim to accelerate and scale green hydrogen production, Bekaert and Toshiba have collaborated for the membrane electrode assemblies technology which is a vital component for PEM electrolyzers.

Results from the Eclif3 study have revealed the impact of using 100 % sustainable aviation fuel in both engines of a commercial aircraft. It shows a reduction in soot particles and formation of contrail ice crystals as compared to using conventional Jet A-1 fuel.

With this acquisition, Repsol has plans to enter the biomethane market. The agreement between Repsol and Genia Bioenergy includes 19 of its biomethane plants which are under development, with a total capacity of 1.5TWh per year, which will generate renewable gas from agricultural and livestock waste in Spain and Portugal.

Wood has successfully completed preliminary engineering for the first phase of the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) hub in Saudi Arabia. The project is the brainchild of Aramco and is called the Accelerated Carbon Capture and Sequestration project.
