Under a MOU signed between BP and the Government of Mauritania, both the parties will explore the potential for large-scale production of green hydrogen in the country. BP will conduct numerous studies to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of producing green hydrogen in Mauritania.

S&B Engineers and Constructors has begun constructing Plug Power’s Peachtree green hydrogen project in Georgia, USA. The engineering company has been awarded an EPC contract for the project which is expected to produce 15 tons of liquefied green hydrogen daily.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser has secured an alkaline electrolyzer equipment contract from Woodside Energy for its H2ok hydrogen project which will be set up in Ardmore, Oklahoma, US. Woodside’s project will produce liquid hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial and heavy transport vehicles.

Evos, Hydrogenious LOHC technologies and the Port of Amsterdam have entered into a MOU under which the partners will develop large-scale hydrogen import facilities at the Port of Amsterdam. The project will include a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) dehydrogenation plant, which will have a capacity of up to 100-500 tonnes of hydrogen daily, as well as related storage and handling facilities.

SGP Bioenergy has plans to establish Latin America’s largest renewable fuels plant in Panama. For this project, the company has selected Topsoe to support the production of low-carbon fuels. Once complete, the biorefinery is expected to produce 180,000 barrels per day of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, and 405,000 metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

Neom has already attracted eyeballs from across the globe for its landmark projects including the development of a green hydrogen based green ammonia production plant. The 5-billion-dollar project is claimed to establish the world’s largest green hydrogen plant in order to produce 650 tons of hydrogen everyday which will be synthesized to produce 1.2 million tons of green ammonia annually.

Asahi Kasei has commenced the construction of an alkaline water electrolysis pilot test plant for sustainable hydrogen production in Japan. The pilot plant will comprise several ‘Aqualizer’ electrolyzer modules which will help to perform various trial operations.

With an aim to expand the green hydrogen economy within Europe and across the globe, Cummins has plans to develop a new gigawatt PEM electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Guadalajara, Spain. The project is expected to produce 500 MW of electrolyzers annually and can be scalable to produce more than 1 GW every year.

Time is running out and we are still struggling to achieve the net zero emissions deadline by 2050 but there’s still hope. The industrial sector, one of the most carbon-intensive industries, is consciously making an effort to decarbonize itself and one of the methods which the sector is adopting is by switching to the production of clean green hydrogen as well as low carbon hydrogen i.e. blue hydrogen.

Eni and Enel Green Power have plans to develop two green hydrogen projects in Italy under its joint venture South Italy Green Hydrogen. The European Commission has approved a funding of 5.2 billion euros under its Ipcei Hy2use fund for the development of both the projects.
