   RWE & Equinor Join Hands for Energy Security & Hydrogen
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   9 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
   
   Equinor & RWE have agreed on a strategic energy partnership between their companies. The agreement includes large scale projects that will contribute to the European energy supply as well as to the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in Germany and the EU. In addition, the partnership will strengthen the long-term security of supply of a decarbonised European power sector. The investments are contingent on the construction of a hydrogen pipeline between Norway and Germany and a German hydrogen downstream infrastructure. In anticipation of this infrastructure, Equinor and RWE propose a series of investments that would be major building blocks for European hydrogen supply and its utilization in the power sector from 2030 onwards.
   
   Equinor has the ambition to invest in clean hydrogen to Europe projects with an initial 2 gigawatt (GW) of low-carbon (blue) hydrogen production capacity in Norway by 2030 and up to 10 gigawatts by 2038. These facilities are to feed into a pipeline to Germany, which is currently being assessed by Gassco, Equinor and third parties. Provided this pipeline is in place, Equinor will transport the blue hydrogen, which RWE will purchase and use in hydrogen-ready gas plants.
   
   In addition to this, RWE and Equinor will collaborate in projects aimed at generating green hydrogen. Offshore wind energy is by far the most effective form of renewable power generation. Combined with electrolysers it will play an important role for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy. In this context RWE and Equinor are planning to jointly explore possibilities for offshore production of renewable hydrogen in Norway, Germany and countries adjacent to the proposed hydrogen pipeline. Both companies are already engaged in developing AquaSector – a project in the North Sea aimed at creating a 300 MW offshore wind farm connected to offshore electrolysers that produce green hydrogen.
   
   RWE and Equinor also plan to jointly invest in flexible hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants in Germany with a total capacity of 3 gigawatts by 2030. Hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants are based on technology that is available at scale to balance the fluctuating electricity generated from renewables and electricity demand.

   Vopak Focuses on Hydrogen Imports in Rotterdam with Hydrogenious
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   9 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
   
   Tank storage company Vopak and German Hydrogen Company Hydrogenious are starting a joint venture in the storage, transport and supply of hydrogen via hydrogen carrier benzyltoluene. Through LOHC Logistix, the companies are committing to building a plant in Rotterdam that can initially decouple 1.5 tonnes of hydrogen per day from this carrier.
   
   No final decision on the investment has been made yet. This will first require, among other things, the licensing process to be completed successfully. Both parent companies have, however, committed financially to the project. In June 2022, Vopak announced that it would invest €1bn in new energy and sustainable commodities until 2030. LOHC Logistix’s ambition is to ‘take hydrogen logistics to the next level’. It does so based on the LOHC technology developed by Hydrogenious.
   
   LOHCs (liquid organic hydrogen carriers) facilitate the transport and storage of hydrogen by binding it to a chemical compound, a hydrogen carrier such as a paste or oil. Without such a carrier, the transport of hydrogen would require a temperature of minus 253 degree Celsius. By comparison, for LNG (liquefied natural gas) this is minus 160 degree Celsius. In addition, storing hydrogen without a carrier requires tanks that can withstand extremely high pressures. When using an LOHC, this is not necessary.

   Nederland waterstofland: honderden uitvindingen hier gedaan
   Door THEO BESTEMAN
   
   Updated 3 uur geleden
   Vandaag, 00:01
   in FINANCIEEL
   
   AMSTERDAM - Waterstof is de schoonste energiedrager, maar nog is nog jaren van massale invoering verwijderd. In Nederland worden na Duitsland en Frankrijk wel de meeste nieuwe patenten voor de ontwikkeling van die technologie zonder uitstoot vastgelegd.
   
   Deze ’groene’ variant van waterstof, gemaakt uit energie van wind- en zonneparken, is echter nog jaren van massale invoering verwijderd. Maar de waterstof gemaakt met gas zorgt als energiedrager al voor een opmars van toepassingen, ook voor nieuwe typen auto’s en grote transportsystemen, stellen het Europees Octrooibureau (EOB) en het Internationaal Energieagentschap (IEA) woensdag in een nieuwe studie.
   
   Koplopers
   Shell en Philips zijn met respectievelijk 63 en 22 stuks koplopers met hun in Nederland vastgelegde octrooien. Daar achter zijn hordes bedrijfjes actief, deels voortkomend uit Nederlandse universiteiten en onderzoeksinstituut TNO.
   
   BEKIJK OOK:
   Waterstof knalt als energiebron in Nederland
   
   Groene waterstof, een reukloos gas zonder vervuilde uitstoot, geldt in laboratoria als de heilige graal als alternatief voor fossiele brandstoffen zoals steenkolen, gas en olie. Met waterstof zou Nederland de klimaatakkoorden om in 2050 geen vervuilende uitstoot meer te hebben kunnen halen.
   
   „Nederland is een van de grootste grijze waterstof gebruikers in Europa. Nederland doet in de kopgroep goed mee met grijze waterstof, vooral nog gemaakt met gas”, zegt ook Hyuyng-Ja de Zeeuw, analist bij Rabo Research. „We gaan naar groene waterstof, uit wind- en zonne-energie. Al staan we daar aan het begin.”
   
   Shell steekt 1 miljard euro in de bouw van de grootste fabriek van Europa voor groene waterstof. „Hoewel grijze waterstof nog dominant is, komen de investeringen in groene waterstof in Nederland in een stroomversnelling”, zegt Olof van der Gaag, directeur van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Duurzame Energie.
   
   BEKIJK OOK:
   Gas blijft duur: dit zijn alternatieve manieren om je huis warm te houden
   
   De Europese Unie is wereldwijd met 28 procent koploper bij alle aanvraag van octrooien voor waterstof, en Nederland is binnen dit gebied derde. Tussen 2011 en 2020 kwam al 3 procent van alle wereldwijde octrooien uit Nederland, 283 stuks in totaal. Waterstof wordt ook gebruikt voor de aanmaak van ammoniak. Die stof gaat na enkele bewerkingen in Nederland weer als krachtige kunstmest de wereld over.
   
   Verschuiving
   De verschuiving van grijze waterstof uit gas, naar de groene waterstof uit energie van windmolen- en zonnecelparken is ’bemoedigend’, aldus voorzitter António Campinos van het Europees Octrooibureau.
   
   Europese landen hebben haast: ze willen liefst morgen af van al het gas van het Kremlin, dat een bloedige oorlog in Oekraïne voert. Het kabinet stelt 35 miljard euro beschikbaar om gas en olie als brandstof te vervangen. Het gaf eind vorig jaar al zeven grote Nederlandse waterstofprojecten samen 784 miljoen euro subsidie.
   
   BEKIJK OOK:
   Gascentrale Engie voegt waterstof toe: ’Snel gaten vullen als er geen wind is’
   BEKIJK OOK:
   ’Amerikanen kapen met miljarden schone Europese waterstof weg’

   Pusan Scientists Elucidate Heat Flows in Liquid Hydrogen Tanks
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   11 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
   
   Hydrogen is widely considered as the fuel of the future. However, there are still challenges and safety limitations to improving the storage efficiency of liquefied hydrogen fuel when it comes to its large-scale, commercial transport and storage. Presently, hydrogen fuel is transported as high-pressure gas in specialized tanks. But this technique is both inefficient and poses serious safety concerns. Liquified hydrogen fuel can only be transported in cryogenic tanks, which maintain temperatures below minus 253 degree Celsius, the boiling point of hydrogen. Despite thermal insulation, the liquefied fuel in a cryotank experiences a degree of vaporization. The flow rate of vaporization is measured as Boil-Off Gas. Too high BOG can result in excess internal pressure inside the tank, leading to cracks and fissures. This makes understanding and controlling BOG a key factor in cryotank design. To address this challenge, researchers are increasingly looking at the use of liquified hydrogen fuel.
   
   To this end, a research team, led by Professor Jong-Chun Park of Pusan National University in South Korea, has investigated how BOG varies with another critical design parameter called tank filling ratio, the ratio of the mass of liquefied fuel in the tank to the capacity of the tank at 15 degree Celsius. In study, researchers performed experiments, as well as simulations, to analyze the thermodynamic characteristics of the tank
   
   From their experiments, the researchers found that BOG increases quadratically with FR. They also found that while the temperature within the liquid phase remained constant, the temperature of the vapor phase decreased non-linearly with FR. The researchers then performed multiphase-thermal flow simulations of the tank using computational fluid dynamics. This allowed them to easily visualize the heat transfers, thermal flows, and vaporization within the vacuum-insulated tank. "We adopted the Rohosenow's phase change model for the simulations, which allowed us to reproduce the vaporization process within the tank. From our simulations, we were finally able to reveal the mechanism of BOG as a result of vaporization," explains Prof. Park. The researchers validated their simulations using the data from the experiments conducted through collaboration with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co

   H3 Dynamics Develops Hydrogen Stations for Drones & UAVs
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   11 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
   
   H3 Dynamics is announcing the global launch of H2FIELD-1, a new hydrogen station capable of producing hydrogen in the field for unmanned aerial vehicles of all shapes, sizes and configurations. Now hydrogen-powered airships, multi-rotors, vertical take-off and landing UAS and various fixed wing systems will be able to benefit from 24/7 hydrogen supply anywhere, anytime.
   
   H2FIELD’s rugged IP-65 trailer-based solution brings hydrogen production to different drone operation locations. It can also be dismounted as a permanent installation and connect to solar panel arrays. H3 Dynamics can supply various configurations, with slow or fast charge options down to minutes per fill - depending on client requirements. H3 Dynamics’ system is extremely compact and can produce hydrogen on site - not just dispense it from other storage forms.
   
   For hydrogen drone operators, H2FIELD-1 solves fundamental hydrogen accessibility in remote areas, unlocking a major logistical barrier for a growing base of hydrogen drone operators in industrial, defense, or even academic sectors. The only feedstock input is water.
   
   H3 Dynamics has been working on a first transatlantic hydrogen-electric flight using liquid hydrogen storage systems currently being tested in France with ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse. Last week H3 Dynamics announced its hydrogen propulsion partnership with French airship maker HyLight, and the week prior with Australian VTOL UAV producer Carbonix whose airframes are made by Quickstep - Australia’s leading aerospace composites producer.

    Deal voor waterstofroute van Abu Dhabi naar Amsterdam
    Door THEO BESTEMAN
    
    2 uur geleden
    in FINANCIEEL
    
    AMSTERDAM - Vier Nederlandse bedrijven hebben voor de import van grote hoeveelheden waterstof een principe-overeenkomst getekend voor levering met Masdar, dat eigendom is van het grote staatsoliebedrijf Adnoc uit Abu Dhabi.
    
    De haven van Amsterdam en de bedrijven SkyNRG, Evos en Zenith Energy melden donderdag met Masdar uit de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten de logistiek voor opwek en transport van groene waterstof tussen de haven van Abu Dhabi en Amsterdam te gaan verkennen.
    Het bedrijf Masdar, waarin naast Adnoc, investeringsfonds Mubadala en het in Nederland actieve energiebedrijf Taqa investeren, wil tegen 2030 jaar een miljoen ton waterstof per jaar produceren.
    
    BEKIJK OOK:
    Waterstof onstuitbaar als energiedrager: ’Industrie kan veel schoner werken’
    
    De energiedrager groene waterstof, zonder uitstoot van vuile stoffen, zou in Nederland gebruikt gaan worden voor bijvoorbeeld duurzame vliegtuigbrandstof en het bunkeren voor de scheepvaart. Tata Steel, de grootste staalmaker, hoopt daarnaast met groene waterstof veel vervuilender steenkool gaan vervangen voor al zijn productie in IJmuiden. Het heeft €65 miljoen uitgetrokken voor de voorbereiding van die waterstofproductie.
    
    Transport
    „Nederland wil graag groene waterstofcorridors ontwikkelen met grote toekomstige exportlanden als de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten. Ons land is sterk gepositioneerd om een waterstofhub te worden voor de Noordwest-Europese markt”, aldus minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Wopke Hoekstra.
    
    De bewindsman is op bezoek in het Midden-Oosten bij de Emiraten en de grote gasleverancier Qatar om relaties te versterken. Nederland wil meer vloeibaar gemaakt gas (lng) afnemen van de organisator van het WK voetbal. Het kabinet zou ook de slechte situatie van de mensenrechten aankaarten.
    
    BEKIJK OOK:
    Weinig hoop op gasdeal voor Hoekstra in Qatar: ’Nederland is gewoon te laat’
    
    Amsterdam kan voor de groenewaterstofroute zijn locatie aan de kust benutten, aldus het havenbedrijf. De bedrijven zullen van daaruit ook gaan leveren aan Europese afnemers. Dat gebeurt dan via pijpleidingen - waarvan een deel bestaande gasnetwerken zou gaan - trucks en de binnenvaart. Daarvoor zijn nieuwe transportmethodes nodig, die de bedrijven hebben afgesproken te verkennen. De groene waterstof wordt als energiedrager gemaakt met elektriciteit van hernieuwbare bronnen als wind en zon. Via elektrolyse worden water en zuurstof gescheiden.
    
    Kunstmest
    De overeenkomst betekent volgens ceo Koen Overtoom van de Amsterdamse haven dat op zijn terreinen voorbereidingen getroffen worden voor de opslag en het transport van groene waterstof. Europese landen willen die groene waterstof massaal gaan inzetten in hun industrie om snel hun uitstoot te verlagen in lijn met afspraken in klimaatakkoorden.
    
    In de overeenkomst van donderdag is nog geen concreet investeringsbedrag genoemd.
    
    BEKIJK OOK:
    Nederland waterstofland: honderden uitvindingen hier gedaan
    
    In Nederland voegde in 2019 kunstmestleverancier Oci, genoteerd aan de Amterdamse beurs, een deel van zijn activiteiten in het Midden-Oosten en Afrika samen met de Adnoc, het staatsoliebedrijf uit Abu Dhabi.
    
    Eind 2021 bracht Adnoc zijn booronderdeel naar de beurs, Adnox Drilling, wat met $1,1 miljard de grootste notering in Abu Dhabi werd.

    PG&E & Energy Vault to Build Hydrogen Energy Storage in US
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    12 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
    
    A leader in sustainable grid-scale energy storage solutions Energy Vault Holdings and Pacific Gas and Electric Company are partnering to deploy and operate a utility-scale battery plus green hydrogen long-duration energy storage system BH-ESS with a minimum of 293 megawatt-hours of dispatchable carbon-free energy.
    
    The BH-ESS is designed to power downtown and the surrounding area of the Northern California City of Calistoga for a minimum of 48 hours during planned outages and potential Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), which is when the powerlines serving the surrounding area must be turned off for safety due to high wildfire risk.
    
    The energy storage system will be owned, operated and maintained by Energy Vault while providing dispatchable power under a long-term tolling agreement with PG&E. The system’s capacity may be expanded to 700MWh, which would allow it to operate for longer without refueling, enabling further flexibility for PG&E and the City of Calistoga.
    
    Energy Vault’s BH-ESS will replace the typical, mobile diesel generators used to energize PG&E’s Calistoga microgrid during broader grid outages. The project represents a major advance in community-scale microgrid development and a significant step toward realizing the CPUC’s vision of cleaner forms of microgrid generation.
    
    The system is anticipated to provide carbon-free energy for the Calistoga community of more than 2,000 electric customers for a period of 48 hours with a hybrid architecture that will allow for grid forming and black start capabilities, with the potential to further expand the project’s capacity in the future up to 700MWh.
    
    Construction is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2023 with commercial operation expected by the end of second quarter of 2024. Upon completion, this project is expected to be the first-of-its-kind and the largest utility-scale green hydrogen project in the United States.

    CityU Develops Novel Hydrogen Production Catalysts
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    13 Jan, 2023, 3:30 am
    
    Researchers around the world are looking for ways to enhance the efficiency and lower the cost of hydrogen production, particularly by improving the catalysts involved. A research team from City University of Hong Kong has developed a new, ultra-stable hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst, which is based on two-dimensional mineral gel nanosheets and does not contain any precious metals. The catalyst can be produced in large scale and can help achieve a lower hydrogen price in the future.
    
    Electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction is a widely used hydrogen-generation method. But commercial HER electrocatalysts are made from precious metals, which are expensive. On the other hand, single-atom catalysts have promising potential in catalytic HER applications because of their high activity, maximised atomic efficiency, and minimised catalyst usage. But the conventional fabrication process of single-atom catalysts is complicated. It generally involves introducing the targeted single-atom metal to the substrate precursor followed by thermal treatment, usually higher than 700 degree Celsius which requires a lot of energy and time.
    
    In this regard, a research team co-led by CityU materials scientists have developed an innovative, cost-effective and energy-efficient way to produce a highly efficient HER single-atom electrocatalyst that uses precious-metal-free mineral hydrogel nanosheets as a precursor.

    Memorandum of Understanding signed with four Dutch companies – Port of Amsterdam, SkyNRG, Evos Amsterdam, and Zenith Energy – related to development of green hydrogen supply chain through Amsterdam.
    Green hydrogen could be used for sustainable aviation fuel, steelmaking, shipping, and wider offtake opportunities.
    ABU DHABI, UAE — Masdar, one of the world’s leading clean energy companies, Port of Amsterdam, SkyNRG, Evos Amsterdam and Zenith Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a green hydrogen supply chain between Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam to support Dutch and European markets.
    
    The MoU was signed by Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, Gert-Jan Nieuwenhuizen, Managing Director for the Port of Amsterdam, Maarten van Dijk, Chief Development Officer of SkyNRG, Bart van der Meer, Business Development Manager, Evos, and Ellen Ruhotas, Managing Director New Energies for Zenith Energy. The agreement was signed in the presence of HE Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, COP28 President-Designate, and Chairman of Masdar, and Wopke Hoekstra, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Netherlands.
    
    HE Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, COP28 President-Designate, and Chairman of Masdar, said, “This agreement builds upon the existing relationship between the UAE and the Netherlands and demonstrates our mutual commitment to exploring low- and zero-carbon energy solutions. The UAE aims to play a central role in the emerging green hydrogen economy and this partnership with the Port of Amsterdam and associated players in the green hydrogen space would help position Abu Dhabi as a key hub for green hydrogen development.”
    
    Wopke Hoekstra, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Netherlands, said, “”The Netherlands is keen on developing green hydrogen corridors with major future exporting countries like the UAE. Our country is well positioned to become a hydrogen hub for the Northwestern European market. I welcome the collaboration between Dutch and UAE businesses in the field of hydrogen and look forward to further intensifying the cooperation between our two countries.”
    
    Under this MoU, the parties will join their efforts to develop a green hydrogen supply chain, focusing on production in Abu Dhabi and export to the Netherlands through the port of Amsterdam. The exported green hydrogen will be delivered to key European sectors – sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), steelmaking, and bunkering for shipping – and will also be supplied to new, emerging European offtakers, via pipeline, truck and barge. Together, the parties will explore several hydrogen transportation methods, with a focus on liquid organic hydrogen carriers and liquid hydrogen.
    
    Mohammed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, said, “Masdar believes green hydrogen to be a promising energy source for hard-to-abate sectors in support of global decarbonization, which is why we launched our dedicated green hydrogen business last month. We are pleased to partner with Port of Amsterdam, SkyNRG, Evos Amsterdam, and Zenith Energy to leverage our synergies in the fuel and logistics sectors to see how green hydrogen can help us achieve our shared goals for decarbonization and sustainable economic growth.”
    
    Port of Amsterdam, the operator of Europe’s fourth-largest port, is committed to scaling up green hydrogen capabilities and is working closely with commercial parties active in its port on green hydrogen development. SkyNRG, a global leader in SAF, is developing a network of SAF production facilities that require green hydrogen as input. Zenith Energy and Evos Amsterdam are the operators of some of the most prominent blending and storage terminals in the port, with Zenith developing a liquid hydrogen supply chain, while Evos Amsterdam is working on a liquid organic hydrogen carrier supply chain.
    
    Koen Overtoom, CEO, Port of Amsterdam, said, “We are very pleased with this new collaboration. SkyNRG, Evos and Zenith Energy are driving forces behind the hydrogen developments in the port of Amsterdam and they are key in our goal of importing at least one million tonnes of green hydrogen annually. Joining forces with a party as renowned as Masdar, will bring this goal that much closer to realization. Together, we can bring the envisioned Abu Dhabi–Amsterdam connection to fruition.”
    
    Green hydrogen is produced with green electricity from renewables like wind or solar, in a process that separates water into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis. The International Renewable Energy Agency has stated that hydrogen will be an essential component of a net-zero energy system and has a key role to play in decarbonizing sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry and long-haul transport[1]. The global green hydrogen market is projected to reach US$72 billion by 2030, while PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), has estimated that by 2050, hydrogen demand could be between 150 to 500 million metric tonnes per year.
    
    Last December, Masdar announced its new shareholding structure and green hydrogen business unit, with a goal of achieving 100 GW renewable energy capacity and green hydrogen production of 1 million tonnes per annum annually by 2030. Masdar is actively involved in a number of projects related to green hydrogen production. Last year, Masdar signed agreements with leading Egyptian state-backed organizations to cooperate on the development of green hydrogen production plants in the country, targeting an electrolyzer capacity of 4 gigawatts by 2030, and output of up to 480,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.
