Hydrogen Blending Could See Energy Bills Rise by 16 Percent: Study
Mixing hydrogen into existing gas supplies, an emission-cutting strategy being considered by the UK government, could cause household energy bills to rise by 16 percent, a new study has suggested. The British government said last year that it would work with industry to “assess the safety, technical feasibility, and cost effectiveness of mixing 20 percent…
GM Targets Hydrogen-Powered Generators in Expansion of Fuel Cell Business
General Motors on Wednesday said it plans to expand its hydrogen fuel cell business beyond vehicles by supplying hydrogen-powered generators for uses including at construction sites, music festivals, data centers and the military. The wider application of hydrogen fuel cells will allow GM to leverage and scale existing hydrogen investments and refine the technology, GM…
Western Australia Explores Underground Storage Solutions For Massive Hydrogen Yield
The Western Australia (WA) government has spent $1 million on exploring the feasibility of using depleted oil and gas wells, salt caverns, and underground mines to store the vast quantities of hydrogen it plans to produce in the near future. The state which has its eyes on becoming a hydrogen-making giant and is set to…
Australia, Japan Spearhead Future of Hydrogen Trading
Australia is solidifying its ambitions to become the world’s hydrogen powerhouse, establishing a new trade pact with Japan in a bid to ramp up Australia’s hydrogen production and export capabilities. The government views hydrogen as a potential boon for the nation’s economy, with estimates outlining the industry could generate more than $50 billion (US$35.8 billion)…
Plan for Australian Hydrogen to Electrify Parts of Asia
Australian oil and gas giant Woodside has announced plans it may be making and shipping hydrogen to power Singaporean data centres and Japanese cities as the world transitions away from carbon dioxide-emitting energy. Hydrogen transportation technology involves liquefying and, in effect, shrinking the gas by cooling it to below minus 253 degrees Celsius, which allows…
‘Big Battery’ to Help Northern Territory Achieve 50 Percent Renewable Energy Target
The Northern Territory Government’s goal of achieving 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 came a major step closer on Monday as a tender was awarded for the 5MVA (megavolt amps) Darwin-Katherine Battery Energy Storage System (DK BESS) to be utilised in the Darwin-Katherine grid. Hitachi Energy will provide components for, and build the $45 million (approx. US$32 million)DK BESS,…
Northern Territory Government Backs ‘Truly’ Green Hydrogen Project
The Northern Territory Government has granted “major project status” to a $15 billion (US$10.75 billion) project to produce green hydrogen in the Australian outback. Expected to be at full capacity by 2027, the 10GW project will see the production of hydrogen at less than $2.80 (US$2) per kilogram, with a 410,000 metric tonne output capacity…
World’s Top Coal Export Hub Turns To Hydrogen
The Australian government is funding half of a $3 million (US$2.2 million) study to assess whether its largest coal port could become a gateway to the nation’s global hydrogen export ambitions. The study will consider the best location for hydrogen infrastructure in the Port of Newcastle in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales—a bustling…
Ultra Low Cost Solar Joins Australia’s Clean Tech Plan
Drastically lowered solar costs will be a new priority under the Australian government’s plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The federal government has underpinned Australia’s path to net zero via its Technology Investment Roadmap, which will now feature low cost solar amongst carbon capture and storage (CCS), soil carbon, hydrogen, energy storage, and…
