Exciting developments in hydrogen technology.

Exciting developments in the hydrogen economy! The focus on mass production of bipolar plates is crucial for advancing fuel cell technology.

Our view is that solid oxide electrolytic cell #electrolyzers (SOECs) will only make a significant dent in the market after 2030. But a recent announcement from Estonia highlights the stage the hydrogen industry is in – in which a disruptive technology can have quite the impact and change things overnight. That’s not to say that Elcogen has changed things overnight, but it definitely brought an impressive product closer to the market which underscores the potential for SOECs. The Estonian #hydrogen company has unveiled plans for a 350 MW factory in Tallinn to manufacture solid-oxide electrolyzers and fuel cells. This facility, slated to commence operations by mid-2025, is the first big take-off for Elcogen’s production capacity, previously limited to 10 MW annually across Estonia and Finland. Most notably, the company claims its electrolyzers can produce 1kg of hydrogen with a mere 33 kWh of electricity, outperforming competitors like SunFire, Bloom Energy, and Topsoe which are some of the big SOEC names out there. https://lnkd.in/eABj3zCf

Berlin Electrolyser Conference 2024 - 26th to 27th Novemeber 2024 - Berlin This 7th edition of our highly focused electrolyser conference series, taking place in Berlin and North America, will again bring together electrolyser manufacturers, component specialists, industrial users, engineering experts and researchers to discuss the development, manufacturing, deployment and integration of the next generation of industrial electrolysers. The technical program will be chaired by Prof. Bruno G. Pollet, President of Green Hydrogen Division of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE) and Board of Directors member of the Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA). KEY TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED   Deployment and cross-sectoral integration of large-scale electrolysers   Status and potentials of different electrolyser technologies: Alkaline, PEM, SOEC, AEM   Techno-economic optimization of large-scale electrolysers   Advanced components for large-scale electrolysers   Supply chains for electrolysers and challenges of large-scale manufacturing   Regulation, standardization and safety issues Composites Excellence Centre of Asia - cecaasia.org #composites #composite #cecaasia #hydrogen #hydrogencylinder

What can you do with 500kg of the green #hydrogen, produced through the PEM electrolysis of water using #renewable #energy sources and PEM Stack built by Schaeffler: 1. Transportation Fuel: - Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs): Hydrogen can be used to power fuel cell vehicles. For instance, a typical hydrogen fuel cell car consumes about 1 kg of hydrogen per 100 km. Therefore, 500 kg of hydrogen could potentially fuel a fleet of vehicles for approximately 50,000 km per day. - Public Transport: Buses and trucks that run on hydrogen fuel cells could also benefit. One hydrogen fuel cell bus might use around 10-15 kg of hydrogen per day, so 500 kg could support about 33-50 buses daily. 2. Industrial Applications: - Refining and Chemicals: Hydrogen is used in refining processes and the production of chemicals like ammonia and methanol. This quantity could support various industrial processes that require hydrogen as a feedstock or reducing agent. 3. Energy Storage: - Grid Balancing: Excess renewable energy can be converted into hydrogen and stored, then reconverted into electricity using fuel cells or hydrogen turbines when needed. 500 kg of hydrogen can store a significant amount of energy, roughly equivalent to 16.65 MWh (since 1 kg of hydrogen holds about 33.33 kWh of energy). 4. Heating: - Residential and Commercial Heating: Hydrogen can be blended with natural gas or used directly for heating applications. This quantity could provide heating energy for several homes or buildings, depending on their energy efficiency and consumption patterns. 5. Power Generation: - Hydrogen Turbines or Fuel Cells: Hydrogen can be used to generate electricity in turbines or fuel cells. 500 kg of hydrogen could generate approximately 16.65 MWh of electricity, enough to power several hundred homes for a day, depending on average consumption rates. 6. Research and Development: - Pilot Projects and Innovation: Universities and research institutions could use this hydrogen supply for R&D purposes, developing new technologies and improving existing hydrogen applications.

Join us at the Belgian Hydrogen Council next week, where I will have the pleasure to speak about what we are doing at Agfa to build a solid supply chain for the Green Hydrogen economy. A very important topic at a moment when uncertainties are hitting certain projects and ambition levels of governments are being confronted with the reality of implementation. Yes, the technologies are proven and available today to make this Green Hydrogen economy a reality, and we are very proud to be a key player in making this happen. In my presentation I will cover the following topic: "Making Green Hydrogen Affordable – High Performance Membranes for Alkaline Electrolyzers."

🚀 The UK’s Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII) is paving the way for a robust hydrogen economy by tackling the key challenges in small-scale distribution. In their latest report, they describe the innovative solutions on the horizon, and outline how the UK is set to lead in hydrogen technology development and deployment. 🌍💧 #HydrogenInnovation #SustainableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #RenewableEnergy #UKHydrogen #CleanTech #HX #HII https://lnkd.in/e5mhkKxJ

We have found a collaboration partner for delivery of stacks to our upcoming 1 MW Dynamic Electrolyser Unit, scheduled for delivery in Q3/25. Looking forward to the journey ahead, SolydEra Group! Read more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/dqtX8zsU

Today we had the opportunity to discuss our H2iseO project, jointly developed by #FNM, #Ferrovienord and #Trenord, with the students of IIS (technical high school) Tassara Ghislandi in Breno, a town in Valcamonica where our #hydrogen trains will call every day in the next future. An interesting discussion about hydrogen, the project and career opportunities in the hydrogen world

🚀 Exciting developments in the world of hydrogen electrolysis! As thyssenkrupp nucera announces its expansion into high-temperature solid-oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), it's clear that the future of clean energy is heating up. Their strategic partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (Fraunhofer IKTS) aims to leverage advanced chromium-based alloy stacks for superior efficiency and durability. At H2Electro, we applaud this innovation and share a similar vision. Our own SOEC technology, built on the strength of all-ceramic fuel electrodes, is designed to maximize efficiency and sustainability, even under challenging industrial conditions. By converting CO2 and water into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, our systems contribute significantly to the production of e-fuels and the decarbonization of industries like steel and ammonia. We believe that collaborations and advancements in SOEC technology are pivotal for a sustainable energy future. Join us in supporting these groundbreaking initiatives and stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in hydrogen electrolysis! 🌍💧⚡ Read more about thyssenkrupp nucera's expansion here: Thyssenkrupp Nucera expands into solid-oxide hydrogen electrolysers #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #SOEC #Innovation #Sustainability #GreenHydrogen #H2Electro
