Centre rolls out norms for green hydrogen

The union ministry of new and renewable energy rolled out the guidelines for the much-anticipated incentive schemes for green hydrogen and electrolyzers. The incentive schemes were announced after the union cabinet approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission earlier this year with an aim to produce 5 million tonne green hydrogen annually and make India a

HP to formulate green hydrogen policy

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu said a green hydrogen policy would be formulated to promote its use and make the state a leading hub of its production. The primary aim is to attract investments in large-scale renewable energy projects, ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply of green electricity for electrolysis. The state government has

Ørsted building commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels

Danish energy company Ørsted is building Europe’s largest commercial production facility for carbon-neutral marine fuels in northeastern Sweden. At the heart of the FlagshipONE plant is a technology package from Siemens Energy comprising four proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers with a total capacity of 70 megawatts, as well as the plant-wide electrification and automation systems,

New device for producing hydrogen fuel from humid air

Scientists have come up with a new prototype device that can harvest water from humid air, before splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen. What’s more, it’s capable of operating in areas where the humidity – the concentration of water vapor in the air – is as low as 4 percent. The device put together by

Cepsa, Ohmium agree for developing green hydrogen technology

Cepsa, and Ohmium International have announced an agreement to develop highly efficient green hydrogen projects in the Iberian Peninsula. The companies will collaborate to develop and build initially small-scale projects aiming to develop a green hydrogen platform using Ohmium’s advanced modular PEM electrolyzers, with the possibility of providing Cepsa up to 300 MW of installed

Reliance on the lookout for inexpensive green hydrogen technologies

Reliance Industries targets to produce green hydrogen at $1 per kilogram by the end of this decade. For this the Indian company is assessing new technologies for making electrolyzers in its efforts to produce low-cost green hydrogen in the country. As part of the push, the company also plans to bid for any production-linked incentives
