Eight major companies including Total Energies have come together to establish an international coalition which will aim at supporting the development of production and use of e-natural gas.

Plug Power has re-started operations at its existing hydrogen plant in Tennessee, USA. With this move, the firm has begun producing about ten tons per day of liquid hydrogen.

With an aim to accelerate its transition into a hydrogen economy, Baker Hughes has successfully achieved several milestones to support its ambitious goal. This includes the launch of a new hydrogen testing facility in Italy for validation of its Nova LT industrial turbines to run blends all the way up to 100 % hydrogen.

Green hydrogen has been intensively talked about since the past few years but now concrete actions are being taken to accelerate the growth of this key decarbonization solution. Industries which are hard-to-abate are especially keeping a close watch on the development of this clean and green solution.

Fluor has won an engineering, procurement and construction management services contract for the world's first renewable hydrogen-based integrated ‘green steel’ mill in Boden, Sweden. The unit is expected to produce five million tonnes of steel annually by 2030, with up to 95 % less CO2 emissions as compared to conventional methods.

Maire has won a Feed contract by MadoquaPower2X to develop an integrated green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in Portugal. The project aims to produce green hydrogen using the alkaline-water electrolyzer technology and green ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process.

Claimed to be the first of its kind, the Catalina Project is expected to combine 1.5 GW of wind and solar energy to power a 500-MW electrolyzer for producing green hydrogen. Wood will lead as a technical authority for the project and will be in charge of technology selection, preliminary studies, front end engineering and design and EPC tendering support.

Auma has added an explosion-proof actuator series Profox-X to its existing Profox actuator series. The versatile, future-proof actuators meet all the requirements of modern plant automation.

Lhyfe has already held a groundbreaking ceremony for developing a green hydrogen plant in Germany. The unit is expected to produce up to 1,150 tonnes of green hydrogen per year by using renewable energy such as wind and solar.

Clariant has recently launched Clarity Prime, an advanced digital service for AI-powered optimization of catalyst operation. Indorama has become the firm’s first customer to implement the new Clarity Prime service at its world-scale ammonia plant in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
