International logistics expert HOYER has consolidated its full-service portfolio of service station logistics and specialized gas logistics. The provision of transport services to the European service station networks is now also available for alternative fuels such as hydrogen (H2).
BASF has worked with Shell to evaluate and de-risk BASF’s Puristar® R0-20 and Sorbead® Adsorption Technology for use in green hydrogen production. The two technologies purify and dehydrate the product hydrogen stream from the water electrolysis process which can then be used for liquefaction and transportation, as an energy source or chemical feedstock. The Puristar and Sorbead technologies are now in Shell’s portfolio for potential use in Shell’s global green hydrogen projects.
Norwegian energy company Equinor has sought funding to build a second major low-carbon hydrogen production facility in the northeast region of England. The new facility will help further reduce carbon emissions in the region.
Linde said the new plant will reinforce the company’s robust supply network. and allow it to meet growing demand from aerospace, electronics, manufacturing and mobility customers.
A significant portion of NextEra Energy's plan to eliminate carbon emissions is designed to take place at Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). Natural gas would be displaced by green hydrogen in some of its existing generating units. FPL would convert 16,000 MW of existing natural gas units to run on green hydrogen. The conversion of these modern, efficient units to green hydrogen is expected to be a cost-effective solution for customers
