Topsoe will support the development of a hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in Rio Grande, Brazil.

Ohmium International is joining forces with two Indian organisations to establish the country’s “first” green methanol plant, powered by Ohmium’s PEM electrolyser technology for hydrogen production.

“Since it’s chemically identical to natural gas, we believe the future total accessible market potential for e-NG is massive,” Lei Chen, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at TES told H2 View.

The UAE’s TA’ZIZ chemicals hub has awarded over $2bn in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts to develop key site infrastructure, including a blue hydrogen-based ammonia export facility.

Lucideon has reportedly completed 100% hydrogen firing at the AMRICC Centre in Staffordshire, the UK.

Despite the IEA highlighting the EU’s REFuelEU Aviation policy as a “major driver” of the demand, in its STEPS scenario, just one-sixth of the 120GW will be installed in Europe.

RWE has secured construction and environmental permits to build a 100MW electrolyser adjacent to the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven, the Netherlands.

BASF could offtake up to 100,000 tonnes of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) certified ammonia from AM Green.

“These limitations prevent the full economic utilisation of an electrolyser of this size.”

The German government has allocated €2.8bn ($3bn) in funding to accelerate decarbonisation efforts, with up to five hydrogen-based projects expected to receive a share of the support.
