Researchers from China University of Petroleum have reported on the interactions between hydrogen and microorganisms in underground storage, while Sungrow Hydrogen has won a $4.1 billion bid for an integrated hydrogen, ammonia and methanol project.
Chinese Petroleum University researchers have analyzed underground hydrogen storage in aquifers, depleted reservoirs and salt caverns, focusing on interactions between hydrogen and microorganisms. They said at “Integration of underground green hydrogen storage in hybrid energy generation” that there is a need for geological analysis and risk mitigation to ensure stable, affordable green hydrogen storage. Underground storage is seen as essential for managing seasonal energy demand, with hybrid energy systems being advocated to exceed stand-alone hydrogen storage limits.
Sungrow hydrogen won the tender for ‘the largest integrated green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol project in the world’. The Chinese company will supply its 1000 Nm³/h ALK hydrogen production system to the Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park project in Jilin, China. “Of $4.1 billion total investment, this project to be expected to produce 110,000 tons of green hydrogen, 600,000 tons of green ammonia and 60,000 tons of green methanol annually in the future,” said Sungrow hydrogen.
HDF energy said that the European Commission has approved French financial support for its industrial project in Blanquefort under the IPCEIs (Important Projects of Common European Interest). “The grant, worth up to 172 million euros, will be spent on the development and industrialization of high-performance hydrogen fuel cells at HDF Energy’s factory near Bordeaux,” said the fuel cell manufacturer and developer of large-scale hydrogen infrastructure, adding that the fuel cells will target the heavy maritime and rail mobility sectors, as well as electricity production for public power grids.
Shell Canada said it has made a final investment decision (FID) for Polaris, a carbon capture project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Scotford, Alberta, Canada. It said The project aims to capture around 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the Scotford refinery and chemicals complex.
