Vynova has recently installed a hydrogen-fired steam boiler at its Tessenderlo site in Belgium and is also planning to add another boiler by the year end. With these, the firm intends to reduce CO2 emissions by 10,000 tons per year at its site.

Sasol has joined Aireg, the Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy which aims to encourage de-fossilization of the aviation industry. Sasol will bring its expertise with the Fischer-Tropsch process not only to the member companies but also to firms across the entire value chain for producing sustainable aviation fuels.

Ammonia is commonly used in fertilizer because it has the highest nitrogen content of commercial fertilizers, making it essential for crop production. However, its production releases carbon dioxide. Electrochemical processes could reduce this impact on the climate.

ABB has secured a contract by Plug Power to supply electrical systems to two hydrogen plants in New York and Georgia respectively. On completion of the project, the plants are expected to produce 60 tons of green hydrogen daily.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of March 2022’ from all over the world. Right from Exxon Mobil constructing one of the world’s largest CCS projects in USA to an Aramco JV establishing a mega refinery and petrochemical complex in China, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Air Products has plans to build, own and operate a green liquid hydrogen production plant in Arizona, USA. The 10 metric ton per day facility will supply hydrogen to the mobility market in California and other regions with an aim to decarbonize its transportation sector.

Cummins’ new Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems Production Center has started operations in Herten, Germany. With this facility, the company aims to speed up the adoption of hydrogen technologies across Europe.

Pertamina, PT Pupuk Indonesia, and Mitsubishi Corporation have collaborated under an agreement to develop the green hydrogen and green ammonia value chain and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) businesses in Indonesia. The move is in line with the country’s aim of reducing emissions by 29 % by 2030.

Under a MOU, Johnson Matthey (JM) will team up with 8 Rivers Capital to commercialize a clean hydrogen process. The collaboration will also make use of 8 Rivers Capital’s carbon capture technology along with JM’s LCH technology for the project.

In a recent report by Vertex Hydrogen, the company has provided the details of developing the low carbon hydrogen production project in the UK. Under the project, natural gas, refinery fuel gas will be converted into low carbon hydrogen and carbon dioxide will be captured and permanently stored under the sea bed.
