As the first in the world, NEO Monitors has developed a solution for measuring hydrogen in-situ using traditional infrared (IR) tunable-diode-laser (TDLAS) absorption spectroscopy.

Clariant's Catalysts business has formed an alliance with clean energy company, Hydrogenious Technologies, to provide reliable, scalable and safe hydrogen supply solutions for a wide variety of applications.

Asahi Kasei Europe started a demonstration project for the production of green hydrogen at the Hydrogen Competence Center h2herten in Herten, Germany. The project will transform simulated electric power from wind energy into hydrogen.

Clariant hosted a Grand Opening Event for their new facilities based in Clinton, Oklahoma. The site is a strategic location to support the growing oil and gas industry within the Mid-Continental (Mid-Con) region with a focus on the Stack and Scoop, the company announced.

Akzo Nobel Specialty Chemicals announced that it will upgrade its Rotterdam chlor-alkali plant to strengthen development of the local industrial cluster.

Thyssen Krupp has been awarded a contract to perform a feasibility study for a new green hydrogen project by the Australian hydrogen infrastructure company Hydrogen Utility (H2U). As part of the project, a 30 MW water electrolysis plant as well as a facility for sustainable ammonia production are planned to be constructed near Port Lincoln in South Australia.

The company’s new Escorez hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins plant with a capacity of 90,000 tonnes per year will produce hot-melt adhesives and is expected to be the world’s largest whereas, the other 140,000-tonnes-per-year butyl plant is anticipated to produce premium halobutyl rubber.

Covestro is planning to build its own chlorine production plant in Tarragona (Spain) and will use oxygen-depolarized cathode technology, which consumes around a quarter less energy than the conventional method.

Under the terms of the contract, Technip FMC is expected to support Kem One’s licensing efforts as well as prepare its Process Design Packages.

One solution for handling fluctuations in the generation of solar energy is to store the energy in the form of hydrogen. For the economical application of this technology, it is however necessary to increase the efficiency of direct solar water-splitting. An international team of scientists has now succeeded in increasing this value to a new record level.
