Compact Syngas Solutions (CSS) says that it has completed work on a government funded demonstration project which aims to be “the next generation of waste-to-energy plants”. The new £4 million ($5.4 million) MicroHub plant, developed as part of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s (DESNZ) Hydrogen BECCS Innovation Programme, produces hydrogen and electricity from biogenic waste while capturing carbon emissions using water scrubbing. Unlike traditional methods that use chemical solvents like amines, CSS’s system uses water to remove carbon dioxide from syngas, which the company says is a safer and more sustainable solution.

UK and EU policymakers are trying to bring down fertilizer costs without losing control of safety, climate and trade risks.

Strait of Hormuz disruptions linked to the Iran war have choked off fertilizer shipments from the Middle East and pushed prices sharply higher, prompting a wave of emergency support and trade measures as governments try to shield farmers ahead of key planting seasons.

The partners in the HyLion network are planning to produce low carbon hydrogen from renewable energy in Scotland and convert it into methanol for use as a low carbon fuel in the shipping, aviation, and motorsport sectors in the UK and Europe. The HyLion project partners include ARUP, McPhy Energy, Bosch, E.On, CO2 Recovery Ltd, Mareneco Ltd, Cadeler A/S, and P1 Fuels. Management and IT consultancy MHP is providing strategic and operational advice on the development and digitalisation of an efficient supply chain. Around 9,000 t/a of hydrogen and around 45,000 t/a of green methanol are planned in the initial pilot plant, which will use 63,000 t/a of biogenic CO2 from E.On’s biomass power plant at Lockerbie and from local whisky distilleries for the production of methanol. Hydrogen will come from an 80 MW electrolyser supplied by McPhy Energy, using local wind energy, with pure water being supplied using Bosch technology. P1 Fuels’ technology will convert e-methanol into an e-fuel that fits seamlessly into the existing fuel infrastructure and offers a decarbonisation solution for the automotive industry, international and national racing series, and light aircraft, for example. Another customer for the e-methanol will be the shipping company Cadeler A/S. The plant is expected to start production at the beginning of 2028.
