Hydeal España, the world's largest integrated renewable and competitive hydrogen hub has selected four EPC companies – Vinci Construction, Técnicas Reunidas, Power China Guizhou Engineering and TSK to carry out the technical design, architecture and supply chain of the first Hydeal España plants in order to produce renewable hydrogen.

Daring to do something new, but preserve the tried and tested values. That is the motto of Dechema Managing Director Dr Andreas Förster. In recent years, the professional society has become more practical and application-oriented. And there are even more ideas. Förster reveals what these are in the PROCESS interview.

China's chemical industry has begun to remove one of the major hurdles to commercialising fuel cell. For the first time, a chemical company in China has succeeded in developing its own process for the production of highly pure by-product hydrogen.

Egypt’s Alexandria National Refining and Petrochemical Company has awarded an engineering contract to Honeywell for upgrading its existing naphtha complex. With this move, the company intends to enhance the quality of its gasoline blend stock and produce feedstock for petrochemical production as well as increase its gasoline production in the country.

BP has entered into strategic partnerships with Adnoc and Masdar for its blue hydrogen project, H2Teesside as well as its green hydrogen project, Hygreen Teesside respectively in the UK. Under the contracts, the Gulf firms will acquire stake in both the projects with an aim to develop low carbon hydrogen hubs in the country.

Exxonmobil has developed an innovative methanol-to-jet SAF technology by using renewable methanol as feedstock. The move is aimed at decarbonizing the aviation industry and achieving a net-zero future.

A subsidiary of CVR Energy will be utilizing Honeywell’s technology to carry out a feasibility study for low-carbon hydrogen production in Coffeyville, Kansas, USA. The aim of the study is to assess the application of carbon capture and hydrogen purification as a potential solution for reducing emissions.

Plug Power will be delivering a 1 GW electrolyzer to H2 Energy Europe for a green hydrogen production complex in Denmark which is expected to produce up to 100,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually to power the region’s transportation sector.

With Chemours’ growing hydrogen economy business, the company has plans to explore capacity investments in ionomers which will further support the development of water electrolysis and fuel cells.

BP and Linde will be developing a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas, USA which will capture and store CO2 from Linde’s hydrogen production facilities in the region to produce low carbon hydrogen.
