Project Management

AVEVA Process Simulation enables growth of global H₂ production market through faster and more efficient design of solid oxide electrolyzer cells.

Fortescue has entered a Memorandum of Understanding with China Baowu Steel Group to work together on reducing emissions associated with iron and steel making, using Fortescue iron ore and green H₂.

At Gulf Energy Information's Carbon Intel Forum 2023, Todd Gibbs, Marketing Manager – North and South America, Atlas Copco Gas and Process Division, delivered a presentation titled, "Blue hydrogen with carbon capture: Outlining the challenges with design due to wet CO₂."

Most industry analysts forecast a stark rise in H₂ demand over the next 25 yr. According to the International Energy Agency, global H₂ demand was approximately 91 MMt in 2021. Several industry forecasts show global H₂ production reaching anywhere between 300 MMtpy and 650 MMtpy by 2050.

When it comes to the benefits that an integrated security solution offers to suppliers in the energy sector, the first topic of discussion is almost always centered on minimizing risk to physical site assets and data. In the event of a security breach, these areas can become victims of significant and widespread disruption, as well as financial and reputational loss to the business.

Advanced process control (APC) and other production optimization technologies improve safety, energy efficiency and overall operation stability. Additionally, as green H₂ technologies are deployed, microgrid management can maintain the reliability of the energy supply to maximize power availability for H₂ production.

Fortescue Metals plans to develop a 300-MW green ammonia and fertilizer complex in Naivasha, Kenya. Once operational, the facility will increase domestic supplies of fertilizers and provide green H₂ to the nation’s electric grid.

DNV has opened its new Technology Centre on Groningen’s Zernike campus, a vibrant ecosystem of education, business and research activities. The new, sustainable facility is equipped with the latest testing equipment to support DNV’s research into the decarbonization of energy systems.

Three areas tend to be particularly vulnerable when it comes to land mobile radio communications for H₂ processing applications: turnarounds, disaster-based outages and dead zones can be weak links in otherwise strong networks.

As part of a debottlenecking procedure, a refinery in Oklahoma (U.S.) was interested in analyzing its hydrogen recycle compressor performance, thinking it may need rerating to improve plant capacity.

International energy company Uniper and Shell UK have awarded Shell Catalysts & Technologies a contract to deliver a process design package for the Humber H₂ub project, using the Shell Blue H₂ Process.

In this episode, H₂Tech sat down with Rich Craig, Vice President of Technical and Regulatory Affairs for the Compressed Gas Association (CGA). The conversation covers CGA's Safe Hydrogen Project initiative, safety hazards when handling H₂ and the future of industry standards when building H₂-based infrastructure.
