Gasunie has entered into a long-term frame agreement with Mokveld Valves to supply control #valves for its #hydrogen delivery stations. This agreement is part of Gasunie’s plans to develop Hynetwork, a nationwide hydrogen network in the #Netherlands. The project involves converting existing natural gas #pipelines to transport hydrogen. The network will supply hydrogen to large consumers, such as industrial plants located near the delivery points.

📢 The December issue of Hydrogen Tech World is almost here – and just one click away from landing in your inbox! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ga5MXn4n Subscribe for 🆓 now and be among the first to explore an abundance of insightful content when the issue goes live later this week! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store: In an exclusive interview, Sebastiaan Surie and Willem Frens of Climate Fund Managers (CFM) discuss the critical role of blended #finance in overcoming the high upfront costs of #hydrogen #projects and ensuring their #scalability in regions with abundant #renewable resources but limited access to #capital. They also emphasise how 🤝 strategic #partnerships between local and international stakeholders are essential to unlocking the potential of 🌍#greenhydrogen and its #derivatives to drive the global #energytransition. Two standout projects demonstrate this transformative potential: 📌 The Hyphen project in #Namibia, a landmark endeavour to produce green hydrogen and #ammonia for export, demonstrates how developing countries can harness their vast renewable #energy resources for large-scale #decarbonisation. 📌 Similarly, the HyIron project, also in Namibia, showcases the use of green hydrogen in producing green direct reduced #iron (#DRI). Both projects highlight the vital role of green hydrogen in revolutionising industries while fostering local economic growth.

XINTC, a Dutch initiative funded entirely by private #Dutch investments, has unveiled a revolutionary #electrolyser design featuring an all-plastic gas module (#stack). This innovation eliminates the need for critical #metals, #membranes, and #seals, paving the way for the mass production of virtually maintenance-free electrolysers.   This breakthrough could significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen production, unlocking new opportunities to scale up hydrogen adoption on a global scale.   Thanks to intelligent electronics, XINTC’s gas modules can switch on and off at high frequency – up to hundreds of thousands of cycles – without experiencing significant wear and tear. This allows the system to extract up to 25% more hydrogen from a single solar field compared to other manufacturers’ solutions. XINTC’s target market includes mid-range systems ranging from 500 kW to over 100 MW, making the technology suitable for a wide array of applications such as #ammonia production, #steel furnaces, #fertiliser manufacturing, industrial #heating, #biomethanisation, and #mobility solutions.   Production of gas modules and system assembly will take place on multiple continents, supported by a global network of distributors. The company has already received significant interest from international stakeholders eager to adopt this innovative electrolyser technology.   On 9 December 2024, the H2 Experience Centre in Kootwijkerbroek, the #Netherlands, will officially open, marking the global launch of XINTC’s pioneering electrolyser design. Established in collaboration with Energeion, the facility serves as a testing and demonstration hub, showcasing the electrolyser’s ability to be directly coupled with #solar fields and to adapt in real time to fluctuations in #renewable energy sources.

Syensqo has increased the production capacity for its Udel® polysulfones (PSU) sulfone #polymers at its Marietta, Ohio, US, facility by more than 25%. These polymers are used in critical health, water, and #energy applications, including #greenhydrogen production systems.   Read the full story ⬇️

Sunfire will deliver 50 MW of #electrolyzer capacity for Ren-Gas’s e-methane plant in Tampere, #Finland. The delivery will comprise five 10 MW pressurized #alkaline #electrolysis modules, which will play a pivotal role in converting #renewable #electricity into #greenhydrogen for e-methane production.   The German electrolyzer manufacturer will oversee the design, production, testing, delivery, supervision of installation and commissioning, as well as performance testing of the equipment.   Ren-Gas’s Tampere facility is set to produce renewable e-methane for heavy road and maritime transport. In the e-methane production process, approximately 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide captured from the Tarastenjärvi waste incineration plant’s flue gases will serve as raw material, along with green #hydrogen produced using Sunfire’s electrolyzer. The plant is expected to generate approximately 200 GWh of renewable fuel for heavy transport annually, in addition to 180 GWh of carbon dioxide-free district heating for Tampere’s district heating system.

Hystar today hosted an event at the Kårstø Gas Processing Plant in Rogaland, #Norway, to formally open its field project, HyPilot. The Kårstø plant is hosting the HyPilot project at its K-Lab test centre. HyPilot is the in-field demonstration of Hystar’s 1.5-MW containerized PEM #electrolyser. The project will provide performance data from various operating regimes, including #intermittent power supply.    The event was attended by the Norwegian Minister of Energy, Terje Aasland, who cut the ribbon, marking the official opening of HyPilot. Project partners were also present, including representatives from Equinor, Yara Clean Ammonia, Gassco AS, and ABB, as well as representatives from Enova, which has provided funding for the project.
