Green Hydrogen, Waste Hydrogen Both In Play For Rapid Decarbonization

Now that all the big carmakers are on board with electrification, what are they going to do about all that carbon entwined with the steel supply chain? And what about decarbonizing the rest of the automotive supply chain? So many questions! Somewhat ironically, the answer appears to be hydrogen — green hydrogen, that is. Recycled waste hydrogen is also beginning to flesh out the mobility decarbonization picture.

ArcelorMittal Spanish steel plant starts grey hydrogen injections

ArcelorMittal Asturias completed its coke-oven gas injection project for Blast Furnace B in its Gijón plant, Spain, in February. The project was linked to the use of coke-oven gas, where the company started the injection of grey hydrogen (hydrogen which is recovered from various gases, including natural gas and coke-oven gas) into its blast furnace. The use of this technology is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 125k tonnes annually.

Australian green hydrogen vessel deemed ‘highly competitive’

A scoping study has found that Global Energy Ventures’ compressed hydrogen ship is technically feasible and ‘highly competitive’ to transport the hyped future fuel at distances that conveniently connect Australia to Asian markets.

AFC Energy launches new fuel cell test facility at its Surrey HQ

AFC Energy PLC (LON:AFC) has launched its dedicated Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Fuel Cell test facility hosted at the company's Surrey headquarters.

The design of the new dedicated AEM fuel cell facility was completed in the second half of 2020 with full fit-out now complete in advance of full operation, AFC Energy said.
