Scatec ASA’s Egypt Green Hydrogen project, in collaboration with Fertiglobe, Orascom Construction, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt, and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, has achieved a significant milestone. Fertiglobe has secured a green ammonia offtake agreement with Hintco in Germany through the inaugural H2Global auction. Consequently, Fertiglobe and Egypt...
The cost of producing hydrogen has been cut by 20% thanks to an AI programme developed by aviation start-up ZeroAvia.The firm, which is developing hydrogen-fuelled aircraft, said that real-world testing of its Smart Hydrogen AI Production Software (SHAIPS) can achieve the reduction in the cost of green hydrogen production compared to an electrolyser that generates based on the average electricity...
Hydrogen has been considered for years an environmentally friendly replacement for fossil fuels. Despite billions poured into research and vehicle development, the hydrogen-as-a-fuel project is barely alive and is probably living its last moments. Sky-high costs and sparse refueling infrastructure have caused businesses to reconsider their hydrogen bets. It's time for everyone to admit that hydrogen is a...
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is planning to bolster hydrogen production by turning a little known subsidiary, the Energy Solutions Company (ESC), into a national champion, adding to its large and growing suite of industrial subsidiaries that seek to diversify the Kingdom’s economy, according to MEED.ESC has operated quietly since it was formed. Its only...
