NextChem subsidiary KT Tech has been awarded a licensing, process design package and engineering services contract by a major international energy company for the application of its proprietary NX eBlue™ (electric steam methane reforming) technology for the production of low-carbon hydrogen in the Southwest of the United States. NX eBlue™ technology, part of NextChem’s technological portfolio for syngas and hydrogen production, features an innovative electric steam methane reforming reactor along with a dedicated process scheme to produce low-carbon hydrogen. This technology significantly reduces CO2 production and incorporates integrated carbon capture to further minimise CO2 emissions, all allowing for operational flexibility and scalability.

Norwegian state-owned power group Statkraft says that it is moving ahead with plans for a 400 MW green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in the Shetland Islands, after securing a land lease near the disused Scatsta Airport. Known as the Shetland Hydrogen Project 2, the facility will use electrolytic hydrogen to produce green ammonia for a range of industrial applications, including use as a sustainable marine fuel and to help decarbonise fertiliser production.

JCB says that it has passed a significant milestone on its hydrogen technology development programme after securing the first full EU type-approval of its hydrogen engine for use in non-road mobile machinery. This means that JCB’s hydrogen engine has been approved for sale and for use in machines and third-party OEM equipment in each of […]

Renewable hydrogen producer Hy2gen AG has completed an additional funding round of €47 million from existing shareholders. The round was led by Hy24, via its Clean Hydrogen Infrastructure Fund, alongside engineering and technology company Technip Energies, and individual founding investor BenDa (the family fund of Hy2gen’s Chair Dana Kallasch). The capital will be used to […]

BASF says that it has signed a cooperation agreement with Plug Power to offer BASF’s advanced DeOxo catalysts as part of Plug Power’s hydrogen liquefaction plants globally to enhance their market offerings, improving reliability and cost efficiency. DeOxo catalysts, including the Purivate™ Pd15 product, offer exceptional performance at low temperatures, reducing the need for expensive […]

The SA-H2 Fund – a partnership between climate finance investor Climate Fund Managers and Dutch development financing institution Invest International – has committed up to $20 million in development funding to complete the final stage of development of the Hive Hydrogen Coega Green Ammonia Project – South Africa’s first large-scale green ammonia production facility. SA-H2 […]

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, says that construction of its new green ammonia plant in Saudi Arabia has reached 80% completion across the hydrogen plant, wind and solar farm and transmission grid, with milestone equipment being received and installed, including wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, […]

A round-up of current and proposed projects involving non-nitrogen synthesis gas derivatives, including methanol, synthetic/substitute natural gas (SNG) and gas- and coal to liquids (GTL/CTL) plants.

VK Arora of KPI examines the technical and operational challenges of decarbonising legacy and new ammonia plants, drawing on a European case study of full-scale conversion supported by robust process and integration design. It also presents three US case studies exploring partial strategies, such as green hydrogen blending and oxygen enrichment, to reduce CO2 emissions and improve throughput. Together, these examples highlight a phased, cost-effective approach to decarbonisation, with blue hydrogen serving as a near-term transitional feedstock.
