Darcy Partners’ Post

Today we celebrate the successful closure of the HyScaling project https://lnkd.in/emn7m-44 HyScaling, part of the Hydrohub Innovation Program, brought together partners from the Netherlands to develop new processes to reduce costs, and increase durability and efficiency of green hydrogen production. "PEM Water Electrolyzer (PEMWE) is a key technology for green hydrogen production, owing to its high efficiency and flexibility. However, PEMWE suffers from short lifetime, high costs and critical raw materials (CRM) usage, in particular Platinum Group Metals (PGM)." – Lennart van der Burg, Cluster Manager Green Hydrogen – TNO https://lnkd.in/eMj3WRuA   “Our ultra-low Iridium catalyst demonstrated benchmark performance at only 0.1 mg/cm2 in a 1000h degradation test, involving both steady-state and accelerated stress profiles. This 20x reduction in Iridium is critical for enabling the terawatt scaling of PEMWE”- Aron Ruszin, Senior Researcher and HyScaling Project Manager at Powall.    Want to know more?

🔥 Turning the power of iron into profit - an interview with Philip De Goey, a man on a mission 🔥 Since 2015 Professor Philip De Goey, has been pushing the development of iron powder as a medium for large-scale, long-term storage of sustainable energy. With a relentless pursuit of innovation, De Goey and his team have not only made strides in academia but also in bridging the gap between research and real-world application. Through initiatives like Metalot, they've brought together academia, government, and industry to accelerate the pace of sustainable, circular developments in metal-based renewable energy. What's remarkable is how this research has evolved from a mere concept to tangible solutions with commercial potential. Student teams like team SOLID and startups such as RIFT and Iron Plus are already making waves, demonstrating the feasibility and scalability of iron power technology. Now, with everything in place - scientific expertise, practical know-how, and strategic partnerships - the focus shifts to scaling up these technologies for widespread adoption. The goal? To revolutionize energy storage and distribution, particularly for heat-intensive industries, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. 🌍 Read more in this article: https://lnkd.in/gw433PnS #ironpower #metalfuels #innovation #research #renewableenergy

📈 This week's #ChartofTheWeek comes from Murray Douglas, our VP Hydrogen and Ammonia Research. Douglas says total contracted hydrogen volumes worldwide are now 8.3 million tons per year (Mtpa). That is only about 6% of total announced #hydrogen capacity of 135 Mtpa, and only about a quarter of that contracted volume has progressed to firm SPAs. He adds: “With more than 300 deals signed, it is increasingly important for developers to identify offtake opportunities and move them towards binding deals that provide the foundation for project financing and development.” Read the full analysis here: https://okt.to/ho8XgE

California headquartered gas containment company Luxfer Gas Cylinders has been awarded a clean technology grant by Alberta Innovates to support the development of a new Type 4, 700 bar hydrogen cylinder in Canada. Via Alberta Innovates’s Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, Luxfer will construct a polymer-lined high pressure hydrogen cylinder, capable of playing a crucial role in the lightweight and high-volume hydrogen storage solution markets. Being developed at Luxfer’s Calgary facility, the system will be able to store gaseous pressure up to 700 bar. The company expects to use its experience in developing Type 3 and 4 high pressure hydrogen cylinders for fuel cell vehicles.

Tetramer has been selected to lead a 3 year, $5MM DOE program to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production along with partners Arkema, Nel Hydrogen and Georgia Institute of Technology. This project seeks to optimize Tetramer's proprietary non-PFSA membrane for performance and durability while reducing costs through manufacturing improvements. "This program represents a significant step forward in demonstrating Tetramer’s PFSA-free ionomer membranes in commercial electrolyzer systems. Success in this effort will support the growth of the hydrogen economy with a stable supply chain of commercially-available ionomer membranes which have a reduced environmental impact and improved performance, ultimately leading to lower cost hydrogen," said Tetramer CEO, Jeff DiMaio The program is funded through the Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office. Read the DOE official announcement here: https://lnkd.in/e3BWGKhP “Congratulations to Tetramer Technologies on being selected for a Department of Energy grant that was authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. South Carolina’s workforce, university system, and entrepreneurial spirit have proven time and again that we are well-positioned to lead advancements in hydrogen technology,” said U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
