In our exclusive interview with Ruth Herbert, EET managing director for business development and strategic initiatives, Energy Voice editor Mark Selby discusses Ruth's career journey from public to private sector, and the decarbonisation journey that EET (formerly Essar Oil) is taking.
The UK hydrogen industry is calling on the government to deliver "pragmatism" and policy certainty to help the nascent sector overcome development challenges.
UK companies have a "major opportunity" to export their expertise in hydrogen development to the Australian market, according to a report from Xodus.
That wait is over! Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced at this week's Labour Party conference that GB Energy will be based in Aberdeen.
Green hydrogen has become a “premium clean fuel” due to the high cost of production, with the nascent fuel “energy intensive but expensive” and increasingly valuable as an energy store, according to UK National Infrastructure Commission commissioner Nick Winser.
What came first: hydrogen supply or demand? This is a question that has had hydrogen industry scratching its head for quite some time.
The Labour Government has now been in power for eight weeks. With this has come a renewed sense of hope for net-zero, energised by the Government’s desire to hit the ground running and launch in quick succession, amongst others, the removal of the de facto ban on onshore wind, the National Wealth Fund, Great British Energy, and the ‘superhighway’ Eastern Green Link 2 project.
Aberdeenshire firm Pier Solutions could see a "substantial increase" in revenue and turnover after forming a partnership with hydrogen technology firm H2scan.
Wood (LON: WG) has been awarded pre-front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) work on Oman's Blue Horizons hydrogen project by the UK supermajor Shell (LON: SHEL).
Germany’s freshly-approved strategy to import hydrogen has been criticized by industry groups for ignoring the lack of credible pipelines to bring supplies of the clean gas from other parts of Europe.
Gas-powered hydrogen production and carbon capture schemes risk derailing the UK's net zero targets, a new report has warned.
German energy firm RWE has announced plans to build a green hydrogen production plant at Grangemouth.
The study raises questions on whether depleted onshore and offshore gas fields can be safely and effectively used for hydrogen storage
Plans for a 1.35GW blue hydrogen production facility have been approved by a local council in Cheshire.
Significant progress was made in establishing a competitive hydrogen sector in 2023, but industry leaders say "it all hinges" on decisions made in 2024.
SSE Thermal will develop the scheme with Aberdeen-headquartered infrastructure firm Kellas Midstream.
The UK government will launch a consultation with industry on future gas supply and storage requirements as production from the North Sea declines.
Blue hydrogen is around half the price of green, he noted, after normalising for incentives and penalties. “The models show then that green hydrogen takes over, at around a decade out.”
There are really two options for dealing with carbon emissions. You either avoid them by stopping the burning of hydrocarbons and using something else or, try to collect them as you produce them and hide them away somewhere in the hope they won’t escape. The latter being CCS - carbon capture and storage.
A new report is warning that political instability and a lack of government clarity around support could stunt the rollout of hydrogen projects in the UK.
The UK’s offshore trade body said that the government’s energy transition ambitions do not match up with the ‘unpredictable’ fiscal policies surrounding oil and gas.
Once the right opportunities have been identified, achieving critical mass in terms of volumes is crucial for the economic feasibility of the valley.
INEOS has awarded engineering group Atkins the contract to design its “world scale” low-carbon hydrogen plant at Grangemouth, as it moves to meet net zero targets.
New analysis from Westwood Global has shone a light on the rapid expansion of blue hydrogen on both sides of the North Sea.
With its potential as an energy carrier that supports an increasingly renewable electricity grid, hydrogen can complement and accelerate other technologies required to deliver net-zero by 2050.
