BASF has commissioned a PEM electrolyzer of 54 MW at a place in Germany, while Sungrow hydrogen has obtained an important order for alkaline hydrogen production equipment from China Coal Ordos Energy.
Bass a 54 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer has ordered the Ludwigshafen site after two years of construction. The electrolyzer, which includes 72 installed piles, can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the main factory of BASF by a maximum of 72,000 tons per year. The German company said It invested € 25 million ($ 27.3 million) in the project, with the European Union contributing € 124.3 million. Hydrogen from the system will be used in the production of ammonia, methanol and vitamins.
Sungrow -Hydrogen has the largest share of alkaline hydrogen production equipment orders from China Coal Ordos Energy Chemical for its 100,000 tonnes of “Liquid Sunshine” demonstration project. Sungrow said It delivers 16 sets of 1,200 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzers with gas-liquid separation and treatment systems. The green hydrogen will combine with refined carbon dioxide from chemical installations to produce methanol. The CNY 4.9 billion ($ 690 million) project in Inner Mongolia will have 625,000 KW new energy capacity and a hydrogen production capacity of 21,000 tons per year.
The European Commission has selected a project of Vale and Green Energy Park (PEP) as a flagship initiative of the Gateway program of the EU in the Climate and Energy category. Valley said The project will produce green HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) in Brazil to deliver European markets for green steel, supplied via dcarbonized shipping corridors. The initiative will help steel production in Europe, with Green Energy Park, an integrated hydrogen company, to be relaxed, cooperation With Vale on the project since October 2024.
Australia has Aud 750 million ($ 479 million) in public financing to speed up the development of new technologies in the metal production sector. As part of the Aud 1.7 billion future in the Australia Innovation Fund announced in the 2024-25 budget, the aim is to support financing in advanced innovation, in particular in low emissions technologies, with four of the 10 priorities aimed at hydrogen.
The Port Authority of Venice has authorized the construction of a new green hydrogen plant in the facility of Sapio in Marghera. The Electrolyzer factory will work autonomously from the production cycles of Sapio and will be powered by renewable energy. The authority said The factory, built on a Brownfield site using the existing infrastructure, will set up Porto Marghera as the first hydrogen valley in Italy, with a total investment of € 2.5 billion, of which € 30 million is provided by the Veneto region.
