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.
Chevron (NYSE:CVX) plans to spend about $2.5 billion building up its hydrogen business this decade as the oil major accelerates investment in low-carbon technologies.
Governments must make “urgent, significant” policy interventions to ensure hydrogen opportunities don’t fade, a report has warned.
Industrial sites and chemicals plants are rarely portrayed as the new clean industries of the future, but many are now at the sharp end of the energy transition.
“This is not a free-for-all of ‘let’s have hydrogen at any cost’,” insists Angela Needle, vice president of trade body Hydrogen UK and strategic director at gas network Cadent.
BP and Linde have announced plans to build a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas, with a view to supporting low-carbon hydrogen production at Linde’s Houston facilities.
Scotland’s net zero secretary said the country's oil and gas expertise and close links with Europe would open new hydrogen export opportunities, but stressed it must also bring local investment.
