The zinc-hydrogen storage system should be able to be produced at a tenth of the cost of lithium batteries and feed hydrogen into the energy cycle on demand, say Fraunhofer IZM researchers. Initial laboratory tests have been very successful.
Until now, hydrogen has been produced from fossil resources or with the help of electrolysis. But what potential do biogenic residues offer? This is what the BiReMiH2 project of the HY2.ZERO network in southern Germany is investigating.
The European Commission recently announced the projects that have won the European Hydrogen Bank’s first competitive auction to provide financial support for renewable hydrogen projects and DH2 Energy’s project Hysencia located in Spain is one of the winners.
Where is large-scale battery storage heading? How are the market and costs developing? How strongly are photovoltaics and storage growing together? An industry event in Madrid provided exciting insights into these questions.
The German-Italian manufacturer Enapter is expanding its portfolio with the AEM Flex 120, an AEM electrolyser that enables the rapid construction of H2 pilot projects in the industrial and refuelling sector.
HPS Home Power Solutions has presented a new product generation of the Picea solar storage system. The focus of the development was on better customer benefits, greater performance and more efficient maintenance and installation. The device now uses lithium batteries instead of lead.
For the first time, glass manufacturer Schott has implemented a glass melting process that is continuous over several days and does not use natural gas. The company aims to be climate-neutral by 2030 and is pursuing these two approaches:
Home Power Solutions (HPS) has inaugurated a solar hydrogen house in Schöneiche near Berlin, Germany. The highlight: The project is intended to demonstrate the technical possibility of a home being self-sufficient in heat and electricity with good insulation.
The project pipeline is expected to further increase to 20 gigawatts by 2025. Most of these are solar plants. However, Q Energy also wants to expand its share of storage and enter the hydrogen market.
The Berlin-based company Home Power Solutions has upgraded its Picea home storage system to be more versatile and has also announced the launch of a new version of the app.
The emergence of a global hydrogen marketplace of about 6 times the current market size now looks inevitable. This is according to a new major study called Global Hydrogen Market Forecast to 2050 published today by Rethink Energy.
The development of a transport infrastructure for captured CO2 is the focus of the pipeline industry. But in some cases it is breaking new ground and there are still a number of challenges and unanswered questions, as an international conference in Berlin showed.
The finalists for The smarter E Award 2023 have been nominated. The winners will be awarded at June 2023 in Munich, one day before The smarter E Europe exhibition starts.
Sales of the Picea all-season power storage units have increased rapidly in recent months. Now HPS wants to expand production capacities, also to shorten delivery times.
The first electrolyzer for European Energy’s hydrogen production facility in Maade, Esbjerg/Denmark, is going to be supplied by Stiesdal – a Danish climate technology company.
The first international trade fair for industrial and commercial decarbonisation, Decarbxpo, came to a successful close today. Around 100 exhibitors from 15 countries presented their technologies and solutions in Hall 9 of Düsseldorf’s exhibition centre.
BayWa r.e. has been selected by the Communauté de Communes Haute-Saintonge, a municipal district committed to renewable energy development, to implement an ambitious energy transition project in the Charente-Maritime department in southwestern France.
Hydrogen is set to play an important role in the energy transition in the future. The northern German CHP manufacturer RMB Energie has therefore recently tested blending green natural gas with conventional natural gas.
So far, green hydrogen has mostly been discussed in connection with large-scale industrial applications. But with a modern energy system in a settlement in Switzerland, the Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ) show that hydrogen is definitely also a part of the decentralised energy transition.
From May 11 to 13, 2022, the smarter E Europe 2022 will open its doors. Visitors will not only find products and innovations there, but also an exciting supporting program. What can you expect in Munich?
Following on from their ‘toolbox’ on high energy prices in 2021, today the European Commission set out a highly anticipated RePower EU Communication that seeks to address the dual energy security and price challenges facing Europe right now.
Over the next few years, MAN Energy Solutions will invest up to 500 million euros in its subsidiary H-Tec Systems to transform the hydrogen specialist into a mass-producer of PEM electrolysers as quickly as possible.
Fronius’ presentation at this year’s The smarter E will mostly be looking forward to a more sustainable future. But with the 30-year-anniversary and 20 years in hydrogen, there will also be some looking back at what has been achieved since then.
BloombergNEF has just published its hydrogen market outlook for the first half of 2022. It shows strong growth to decarbonize the industry.
Global investment in the energy transition totaled $755 billion in 2021 – a new record - BloombergNEF (BNEF)reports.
