#1: Rolls-Royce: A new aviation milestone with the world’s first run of a modern aero engine on green hydrogen

Chief Technology Officer at Rolls-Royce announced their breakthrough with the world’s first run of a modern aero engine on green hydrogen as a part of their ongoing partnership with easyJet. This historic test run took place at an outdoor test facility at MoD Boscombe Down, UK. The test team used a converted Rolls-Royce AE 2100-A regional jet engine with green hydrogen supplied by EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre) generated using electricity generated by Tidal power at a facility on Eday in the Orkney Islands, UK.

As CTO, Grazia Vittadini said on her Linkedin profile;

This achievement not only represents a technological breakthrough but demonstrates a tangible step towards proving that hydrogen could be a zero-carbon aviation fuel of the future.

#2: ITM Power (AIM: ITM), a leading manufacturer of electrolysers for the green hydrogen industry announced its new CEO - Dennis Schulz

A leading manufacturer of electrolysers for green hydrogen, ITM Power announced its newest CEP, Dennis Schulz who will resume duties on the 1st of December 2022. He is moving to ITM from Linde Engineering after serving the company for over 14 years in the capacity of functions including project leader, head of the strategy and chief financial officer.

“I am delighted to appoint Dennis as our next CEO,” said Sir Roger Bone, Chairman of ITM Power.

#3: Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power signed an agreement for a 7 billion USD project that will produce green hydrogen in Thailand

The Saudi-based ACWA Power signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the national energy group PTT Public Company Limited (PTT) and the state-owned Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) to construct a facility with the capacity to produce 225,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen. The initial plan is to produce Green Hydrogen for local use, however, they expect the project will able to capture the export market as well.

#4: Indian PM Modi claims Green Hydrogen is the fuel of the Future

PM Narendra Modi said, “I want to make Gujarat the biggest hub of green hydrogen (in the world). A new eco-system for that sector will come up on Gujarat’s coastline, be it in Kutch or Bhavnagar or in Junagadh. Green hydrogen is the fuel of the future… The entire world will experience a total transformation,” said Modi.

Thermocyclic Ammonia Production: A Sustainable Path for Hydrogen Storage and Transport

A Deep Dive into Thermocyclic Ammonia Production Introduction Thermocyclic ammonia production represents an innovative approach in energy storage and transport, positioning ammonia as an efficient hydrogen carrier. This process envisions a cyclical system where ammonia is synthesized, transported, and later decomposed back into nitrogen and hydrogen, enabling it to function

Transforming Carbon Emissions into Valuable Resources: Harnessing Green Hydrogen for Methane and Methanol Production

Introduction As the global push for decarbonization intensifies, converting captured carbon into valuable resources has gained traction as an effective strategy for emissions reduction. The integration of green hydrogen in transforming carbon dioxide (CO₂) into synthetic fuels like methane and methanol is a promising development. This process involves the use

Opportunities for Hydrogen Production with CCUS in China: Path to Carbon Neutrality

As the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, China faces enormous pressure to decarbonize its economy while sustaining rapid economic growth. In its ambitious quest to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone of China's energy transition. However, the majority of China's

Electrolysis vs. Fossil Fuels with CCUS: A Comparative Analysis for Low Carbon Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen is emerging as a key energy carrier for a sustainable future, with significant potential to decarbonize several industrial sectors. Currently, hydrogen is primarily produced through fossil fuel-based methods, especially from natural gas, which contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and
