When is H2 = RFNBO? Renewable hydrogen and “green” e-fuels in the EU (Part 1)

1. Rise of the RFNBOsDirect use of electricity from renewable or other zero carbon sources may be the ideal way to decarbonise, but if you turn zero-carbon electricity into a liquid or gaseous energy source, you can decarbonise some hard-to-abate applications faster, particularly in the transport and heavy industry sectors. This is one of the attractions of making hydrogen with renewable electricity,...

Storing Renewable Energy, One Balloon at a Time

Central Sardinia is not generally considered a hotbed of innovation: Arid and rural, some of its road signs riddled with bullet holes made by target-practicing locals, the setting recalls a Clint Eastwood western. Yet in Ottana, on the brownfield site of a former petrochemical plant, a new technology is taking shape that might help the world slow climate change. The key component of this technology is as...

Gas Turbine and Hydrogen Technologies Grow Together

The future of gas turbines and hydrogen are intricately intertwined. Gas turbine manufacturers know that they need their equipment to be ready to operate on higher levels of hydrogen as electrolysis technology advances, production projects come online, and clean hydrogen becomes more readily available to help end-users decarbonize their power systems. In May 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection...

German AEM electrolyser manufacturer Enapter has reported a 730% year-on-year order increase in Q1 2024.The first quarter of this year saw incoming orders reach €9.29m ($9.97m) compared to €1.27m ($1.36m) in Q1 2023, with 60% of orders coming from new customers and 75% being attributed to its AEM NEXUS megawatt-class electrolyser.Enapter has said “a large portion” of the orders came from Europe,...

Germany Commits €20 Billion To Hydrogen Fuel Network Amid Energy Transition

In a bold stride towards an innovative energy future, Germany has solidified its commitment to hydrogen power, outlining a comprehensive €20-billion ($21.6-billion) plan for an extensive hydrogen network that extends a staggering 9,700 km. The robust strategy, integrating 60% of the existing gas pipelines, spells a significant shift as the country deals with the urgent need to diverge from its heavy...

Bloom Energy Fuel Cell Platform Approved to Enter European Market

Bloom Energy’s fuel cell platform is now certified to meet Conformité Européenne (CE) requirements and ship to the European Union (EU) and its growing market for fuel cells and reliable, clean energy. CE certification is a major milestone toward ensuring that Bloom Energy’s fuel cells are available to meet EU energy needs. The EU will need to scale reliable sources of...

Are Rectifiers Green Hydrogen’s Unsung Hero?

Lisa Moughan, Director of Marketing – March 21, 2024 Our Director of Hydrogen, Bryan Allen, recently joined host Lisa Ann Pinkerton on the Earthlings 2.0 podcast to discuss if rectifiers are green hydrogen’s unsung hero. They covered many other topics around green hydrogen…below are some excerpts from the conversation. Check out the full podcast here: https://earthlings-podcast.castos.com/...

Chart: Tesla’s EV charging lead isn’t going anywhere

Tesla’s distant competitors ChargePoint, EVgo and Blink Charging raised capital on public markets, only to watch their stock prices crumble like a crouton in the last year. But the charging market, as with the EV market overall, are still in early, dynamic days. Tesla is opening its Supercharger network to other EV makers, starting on a limited basis. In July of last year BMW, General Motors,...

Certification – Roadmap to RFNBO status Renewable hydrogen and “green” e-fuels in the EU (Part 2)

1. Certification overview Our previous article, When is H2 = RFNBO? Renewable hydrogen and “green” e-fuels in the EU (Part 1), provided an overview of the requirements to be met under RED II1 and the Delegated Acts2 to enable e-fuels, particularly hydrogen and its derivatives, to qualify as a renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) in the regulatory regimes of the European Union (EU)...
