A report by Hydrogen Council explores hydrogen, examining three critical areas. By using new data on the material intensities of key technologies, the report estimates the amount of critical minerals needed to scale clean hydrogen.

Iwatani, Toyota Tsusho, and JGC Holdings have signed an agreement to explore a joint business in the Nagoya Port area, Aichi Prefecture, concerning low carbon hydrogen production using waste plastic gasification facilities.

During January, technicians from Valenciaport, the National Hydrogen Centre and Carburos Metálicos are expected to carry out this operation in the hydrogen plant located on the Xità quay.

Wärtsilä has entered into a joint development agreement with Hycamite TCD Technologies, to enable cost-effective production of hydrogen from LNG onboard marine vessels.

The first ship in a series of highly efficient shortsea cargo vessels entered service at the end of 2022. Namely, the Vertom Patty was designed to anticipate future trends, as its electric power plant is ready for conversion to methanol fuel or hydrogen power.

Shell, ENGIE, Vopak and Anthony Veder have reached agreements to develop hydrogen chain from Sines to Rotterdam. The aim is to start producing hydrogen in Portugal and ship it in liquid form to Rotterdam.

Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Hyundai Heavy Industries announced that they have successfully completed performance verification of the ‘1.5MW class LNG/hydrogen hybrid engine (HiMSEN)’ developed with their own technology.

Hydrogen is “not a panacea” for cutting carbon emissions and plans to require all new boilers to be hydrogen-ready in four years time are unrealistic, warned MPs on the Science and Technology Committee last week. 

RINA awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) of a first very large crude carrier (VLCC) vessel using an innovative propulsion arrangement that reduces the ship’s resistance by 5-10%. The vessel will meet the IMO targets for 2050 through the use of the ship’s fuel (LNG) combined with hydrogen produced onboard.

The world’s first commercial shipment of certified clean blue ammonia arrived in South Korea from Saudi Arabia. Namely, a vessel carrying the 25,000 metric tons of cargo docked in Ulsan.
