In Texas, hydrogen has drawn attention in recent years as a potential source of clean energy because it burns without producing climate-damaging emissions. However, traditional hydrogen production methods have a substantial carbon footprint, and cleaner methods are expensive and technically complex. Now researchers are reporting a significant advance, a two-electrode catalyst that relies on one […]
In the UK, the University of Hull has been awarded £245,000 to investigate the possibility of producing hydrogen from the waste streams produced by biorefineries. The funding was awarded by the UK Government’s Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) through phase one of their Hydrogen BECCS Innovation Programme, which has been funded by […]
In the UK, funding for researchers at Cranfield University to look at new ways to generate hydrogen energy from biomass has been announced by the Government. The technology would allow biomass – organic products such as wood, grasses or used brewery hops – to be used to generate hydrogen while capturing CO2 emissions at the […]

In Texas, Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., the USA affiliate of Nippon Sanso Holding Corporation, Tokyo, has signed a long-term Supply Agreement to meet hydrogen requirements for a 75,000 bpd refinery in Mobile, Alabama owned by Vertex Energy. The Matheson Facility will have a nameplate capacity exceeding 30 mmscfd hydrogen production and the capability to process a […]
In Finland, a new hydrogen research forum has been established with the aim to promote Finnish hydrogen expertise via common visions for the future and to represent academic actors alongside other fields. VTT is launching the Hydrogen Research Forum Finland together with several research and education institutions in the field. The goal is to build […]
In South Dakota, the Purdue Research Foundation completed a licensing agreement with an international energy company for the commercialization of a new process discovered at Purdue University Northwest for the biological production of hydrogen from food waste. A second licensing agreement with a company in Indiana is under negotiation. This new process uses food waste […]
In Germany, TES announced the start of the ‘Open Season’ to assess market interest for hydrogen and green gas import capacity at its Wilhelmshaven Green Energy Hub. The non-binding phase has now concluded, and bi-lateral discussions will commence with all parties that expressed their interest. The terminal at Wilhelmshaven will be incorporated separately and branded […]
Big names with big news today – Chevron U.S.A., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, announced definitive agreements to supply fuel linked to renewable natural gas for a Walmart demonstration of Cummins’ new 15-liter natural gas engine for heavy-duty trucks. In today’s Digest, what the agreements entail, how Walmart’s heavy-duty trucks will be using RNG, […]
In Colorado, perovskite materials may hold the potential to play an important role in a process to produce hydrogen in a renewable manner, according to an analysis from scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The NREL scientists analyzed an emerging water-splitting technology called solar thermochemical hydrogen (STCH) production, which can be potentially more energy […]
