In November 2021, the Namibian government issued a notice of award stating its intention to appoint Hyphen Hydrogen Energy as the preferred bidder to develop a hydrogen project in the Tsau Khaeb National Park. The project, worth an estimated USD 9.4 billion, will produce 300,000 tons of green hydrogen per year and will see the installation of 3 gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity and 5 gigawatts of wind and photovoltaic generating capacity by the end of the decade. Hyphen is a joint venture between Nicholas Holdings and Enertrag South Africa, a subsidiary of German company Enertrag. This initiative is part of the H2Global program (see H2-international, October 2021).
Breathtaking racing championships often serve as a test bed for new technologies. But it’s not just Formula 1 or Formula E which are putting the latest engineering advances through their paces; off-road races are also getting a look-in. (more…)
In 2020 there was much talk of low-cost green hydrogen being readily imported from Morocco. Mooted in the country’s favor were its copious supply of solar energy, its connectivity to Europe via Gibraltar as well as its relative political stability. As of summer 2021 that has not been entirely the case. The sun is still shining but diplomatic relations have become frosty. (more…)
The production of hydrogen is now recognized as an emerging market right around the globe. Many diverse electrolyzer manufacturers are experiencing unprecedented demand. A great many new players are jumping on the bandwagon and increasing numbers of conventional energy suppliers are pivoting from traditional power sources to renewable energies and embedding hydrogen in their portfolios. So what is the current situation vis-a-vis electrolyzers and what can we expect in the future? This article seeks to shine a light on these and other questions by providing a general – though not necessarily exhaustive – roundup of recent developments. (more…)
French company Lhyfe has plans to establish large-scale hydrogen production at sea. That’s where the greatest potential lies, it believes. It’s an ambition that could be helped by the legacy pipes and connections from old oil and gas fields. The goal is to have a test facility up and running just off the French Atlantic coast by late summer 2022. (more…)
Until now, the energy supply mechanism in Germany and Europe has taken a centralized form. Massive power plants are responsible for generating electricity and heat which are then distributed via cables or district heating networks. When the boom in solar and wind generation began around 20 years ago, many in the sector hoped that decentralization would follow – a belief that led only to disappointment in many respects. While the number of distributed energy generation systems has indeed risen, the wholesale change once envisaged has yet to materialize. (more…)
