Wooden Mackenzie said in a new report that the United States will secure its position as the leading producer of blue hydrogen by 2025, driven by policy developments under a potential second Trump administration. predicted a surge in blue hydrogen investment, with at least three large-scale projects reaching final investment decisions (FID), making U.S. blue hydrogen projects more than ten times the size of green hydrogen projects expected to reach FID in the same year. Globally, the research firm identified Latin America, the Middle East, India and China as frontrunners for large-scale green hydrogen projects. It also said Chinese electrolyzers will account for at least a third of orders outside Europe and North America, as Japanese companies prepare for contract-for-dive auctions.
Siemens Mobility said the first Mireo Plus H hydrogen trains have been approved for passenger service and are ready to start service. “Their approval marks another important milestone for zero-emission mobility in the regions of Berlin-Brandenburg and Bavaria Hydrogen-powered trains will be used for the first time,” said the German company. The train has a range of up to 1,200 km, is powered by an H2 traction system that delivers 1.7 MW for acceleration of up to 1.1 m/s², and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h.
Thyssenkrupp Nucera has reported a 73% increase in green hydrogen revenues for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. “The The strongest growth impulses again came from the alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) segment.,” said the German company. “Customer orders for the highly efficient green hydrogen production technology rose sharply by 73% to €356 million ($373.9 million).” It added that it is working with Fraunhofer IKTS to add solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology to its portfolio and has secured a 700 MW water electrolysis project for Europe’s first large-scale green steel mill, developed by Sweden’s Stega .
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a method to estimate the global warming potential (GWP) of hydrogen using a model with a detailed chemical mechanism. In their analysis, the GWP of hydrogen was compared to the GWP of methane. “We note that the intensity of hydrogen emissions (which weighs on the basis of methane reduction or the greenhouse effect).), cross zero at a methane leakage of approximately 1.2%; Exceeding methane leakage from blue hydrogen production would mean that replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen would increase the methane burden in the atmosphere and increase global warming.” said the researchers in a recent study Boundaries.
