Emerson’s BM6X Series Slam-Shut valve has now been certified for use in hydrogen applications by Bureau Veritas Italia. This means that the valve can be used for gas transmission networks, regulating stations, and end use infrastructure.

Solvolysis and pyrolysis are two established technologies for chemical recycling. Both of these technologies involve demanding tasks for the mixing technology. This article summarizes the practical approaches to address these challenges — from lab, through piloting and demonstration scale, before building a commercial reactor or plant system.

Under the ‘Plasco2 project’, Evonik along with its three partners aim to turn the greenhouse gas CO2 into a raw material which can then be used for the production of C4 chemicals. The partners are working together to extract synthesis gas from CO2 and hydrogen by means of a plasma reactor using a newly developed process.

John Cockerill has plans to develop a gigafactory for manufacturing electrolyzers which will help in the establishment of an integrated green hydrogen industry in Morocco. The factory will produce high-powered alkaline electrolyzers on a large-scale.

Hycc has chosen Kraftanlagen Energies & Services to carry out the basic design and engineering (Feed) while Nel has been selected for supplying electrolysis stacks to the green hydrogen project H2eron. The project comprising a 40-megawatt plant will be developed in the Netherlands and will support the production of SAF.

Lanxess has plans to source sustainable raw materials from Covestro, which have a significantly reduced carbon footprint, to produce key basic chemicals at its Lower Rhine sites in Germany. The partnership will result in reducing CO2 emissions by up to 120,000 tons per year at the site.

Where will the gas for tomorrow come from? Not from Central Europe - at least not on its own - everyone actually agrees on that. Even and especially in the brave new world of green energies, the Old World will be dependent on imports, perhaps even more than before. For this reason, wind- and above all sun-rich and sparsely populated countries are getting into position to supply Europe with much sought-after hydrogen. Namibia could play a key role in this...

Turning electricity into gas: a closer look at the key technology of the hydrogen revolution. Whether alkaline, PEM or high-temperature electrolysis, the oldest electrochemical process is to make the world of tomorrow possible. By 2021, projects with over 200 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity will be on the agenda. But what is behind these figures? What technologies are there, and where is the journey heading now?

Topsoe and Fidelis have formed a global alliance for technology used in the production of carbon neutral hydrogen. Topsoe’s hydrogen process portfolio along with Fidelis’ H2 technology will be paired in the alliance in order to reduce the lifecycle carbon emissions involved in hydrogen production.

BP has plans to assess the feasibility of establishing a new hydrogen hub at Wilhelmshaven, Germany as the location is also expected to witness the construction of a large-scale ammonia cracker. The cracker project has the potential to supply up to 130,000 tons of low-carbon hydrogen from green ammonia annually.
