China started up the world’s largest green hydrogen plant to date last year, the 260MW Kuqa facility in Xinjiang which supplies H2 for oil refining, although this project has faced significant technical issues owing to a tighter working range for its electrolysers than initially promised by manufacturers. But while the country accounts for around 30% of global H2 demand, which is currently met primarily via coal gasification, some analysts have warned that China could be on track for oversupply of electrolytic hydrogen. https://lnkd.in/ejBFp3Hn

Australia has all the ingredients to be a global leader in cleaner, greener fuels – and it seems more and more businesses are taking note. In February we heard that Jet Zero Australia and LanzaJet – the sister firm of long-time AIBN collaborator LanzaTech – have their eyes on sustainable jet fuel facility in #Townsville. Now the South Australian government has teamed up with British firm Zero® Petroleum to explore an exciting project of their own. A memorandum of understanding has been signed between Zero and SA to explore how a new production plant for hydrogen-based synthetic fuels could work. According to Brandon How at InnovationAus.com, the proposed South Australian plant would use green hydrogen, renewable power, and carbon capture technologies to produce between six and 12 million litres of carbon neutral gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel annually. What’s more, Zero would also consider purchasing the hydrogen It needs from the state’s renewable hydrogen production facility in Whyalla, which is currently slated to open in 2026. Here in #Queensland, the emergence of the local hydrogen industry in places such as Gladstone is seen as crucial to sustainable, industrial-level production of cleaner fuels. AIBN researchers are certainly excited about the potential of the green hydrogen boom – both in Queensland and South Australia – and the potential to use the gas a crucial feedstock in the fermentation process that gives us cleaner higher-value aviation fuels such as isobutanol. “There is no doubt we are uniquely positioned to develop a thriving gas fermentation industry to produce sustainable hydrocarbons from renewable gas feedstocks,” says AIBN PhD scholar Karen Rodriguez Martinez. #AIBNatUQ #UQ #cleanenergy #sustainability #netzero #greenhydrogen

Brazil's new decree on natural gas regulation could transform the market by providing cheaper energy and ethane-based feedstocks, benefiting the chemicals industry. The decree grants the oil and gas regulator, ANP, more power to regulate gas reinjection, pushing for the use of gas byproducts from crude oil production rather than reinjecting them. While some fear government intervention may deter investments, Brazil's chemicals trade group, Abiquim, supports the move, seeing it as a long-awaited opportunity to enhance industry competitiveness in the medium to long term. #gas #biofuels #Brazil N.B. Brazil's energy mix includes around 12-13% from natural gas and 18-20% from biofuels, with biofuels playing a key role in the transportation sector. Brazil is a global leader in ethanol production, mainly derived from sugarcane. Both natural gas and biofuels are essential to Brazil's efforts for energy diversification and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/dFYSCp7v

🔊 The results of the #H2Global pilot auction for the #renewableammonia lot have been published!   📝 Fertiglobe, a joint venture between OCI Global and ADNOC Group, has signed a 7-year Hydrogen Purchase Agreement (HPA) with Hintco, running from 2027 to 2033. Under this HPA, Fertiglobe will deliver at least 40,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia per year from their plant in Ain Sokhna to the Port of Rotterdam, with potential delivery increases to between 17,500 and 33,000 tonnes annually on Hintco’s demand.   🚢 The renewable ammonia will be transported to storage tanks at Ein El Sukhna Port via an existing 7km pipeline, while Fertiglobe International Trading will oversee the seaborne delivery to #Europe.   💶 The winning bid was priced at 1000€ per tonne of ammonia, including shipping, with a production cost of 811€ per tonne (around 3.5€ per kilogram of hydrogen). This leads to a total contract value of 397 million €. 💧 The project will feature a 100 MW alkaline #electrolysis setup, fed by 273 MW of new #renewableenergy, with a production capacity of 13,000 tonnes of #hydrogen and 73,000 tonnes of #ammonia annually.   🌿 The auction attracted 22 bidders, all planning to use alkaline electrolysis, with an average electrolysis size of 145 MW per bid. The average production price bid was 1,048 EUR per tonne of ammonia, translating to nearly 5€ per kilogram of hydrogen.   By targeting support for the most competitive global projects and by building strong price signals, H2Global Foundation will optimise its funding efficiency and contribute to build a functioning, global #RFNBO market. We look forward to hearing from the renewable methanol pilot auction results and the launch of the competition based sale process!   Read the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/deAWwAsq
