Horizon Fuel Cell Group announced plans last week (September 10) to build an electrolyser assembly gigafactory in India, under a new joint venture with Indify Fuel Cell.

Shell’s GameChanger programme will support Advanced Ionics’ pilot hydrogen production project, which will use its water-vapour electrolyser technology, dubbed Symbion.

Höegh LNG has rebranded to Höegh Evi, reflecting its expanded focus beyond LNG imports to include hydrogen and ammonia.

China’s Hygreen Energy has launched its new anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyser system and secured its first domestic customer.

“Gas detection is a critical component of safety strategies, whether for direct hydrogen detection or monitoring hydrogen stored in another form, such as ammonia,” H2 View hears.

The first Japan Hydrogen Fund has been launched with over $400m committed by Japanese industrial and financing majors, along with TotalEnergies.

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has earmarked $18m for nine projects focused on hydrogen hazards.

To ensure that hydrogen remains safe, gas detectors and flame detectors are used as the primary tools among many layers of a detection system, writes Cristin Krause, Global Marketing Manager at Dräger Safety.

The Canadian fuel cell firm said the measures were necessary to reduce corporate spending to maintain balance sheet strength as the adoption of hydrogen technology continues to face delays.

Plug Power will provide 25MW of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers to H2DRIVEN, an 80,000 tonnes per year methanol project in Portugal.
