Backed by £14m in funding, Supercritical claims its “ultra-efficient” membraneless electrolyser delivers hydrogen at pressures exceeding 220 bar with over 99% hydrogen purity.
Utility believes the technology could produce hydrogen for “immediate industrial use,” such as reductants in blast furnaces or in direct reduce iron (DRI) plants.
Capable of producing “several hundred” kilogrammes of hydrogen and up to 1,000kg of graphene per day during 24/7 operations, the pilot plant will inform Graphitic’s commercial plant designs.
The European Commission is supporting electrolyser and hydrogen development in Austria and Lithuania through state aid funding worth €400m and €36m respectively.
“Projects have to make sense; only then people are going to inject money so they move forward,” Splitwaters’ Deepak Bawa told viewers, as electrolyser manufacturers struggle to achieve profitability.
The drilling programme aims to assess subsurface hydrogen and helium concentrations while analysing the reservoir’s characteristics.
“We continue to believe that this potential could have been realised had the financing been secured.”
Simon Hyde, CEO at FAUN Zoeller; Hannah Bryson-Jones, Director at Delta H Consulting Ltd; and Charlie Ker, Senior Director, Business Development at Cespira discuss the opportunities and challenges in hydrogen shipping and the requisite legislation,...
Optimal Group supplied a 700kW PEM electrolyser to BOC Australia’s Lutana site, which has a reported capacity of up to 262kg of green hydrogen per day.
With uncertainty mounting, the industry must brace for policy shifts, but hydrogen’s bipartisan appeal – and its ties to natural gas – could yet secure its survival.
