Under the agreement, bp and Oman
will also consider ways to collaborate
in several areas, including a renewables
strategy, regulation, the establishment
of a renewable energy hub, and the
development and reskilling of the
local workforce.

then support the Government of Oman
in approving the future developments
of renewable energy hubs at suitable
locations within this area to take
advantage of these resources. The
renewable energy resources could
also supply renewable power for the

expand its H2 fuel cell business beyond
vehicles by supplying H2-powered generators
for construction sites, music festivals,
data centers and military operations. The
H2
fuel-cell systems will be built by General
Motors' JV with Honda in Brownstown,
Michigan. Utah-based Renewable
Innovations will build the generators, with
production slated to start in 2023.
SoCalGas to transition its fleet
to H2
fuel cell electric vehicles
SoCalGas purchased nearly two
dozen Toyota Mirai H2 fuel cell electric
vehicles, with plans to increase the fleet
to 50. The purchase will help SoCalGas
decarbonize its fleet and support the
company's net-zero climate goal by 2045.
The initiative includes replacing 50% of
its over-the-road fleet with clean fuel
vehicles by 2025 and operating a 100%
zero-emissions fleet by 2035.

Woodside to develop H2OK
project in Oklahoma
In January, Woodside awarded
KBR an engineering services contract
for the company's H2OK liquid H2
production facility project in Ardmore,
Oklahoma. KBR will provide FEED for
the project. The project's first phase
includes the construction of a 290-MW
facility that will produce 90 tpd of liquid
H2
via electrolysis. The liquid H2
will be
used by the heavy transport sector.
The facility can be expanded to
550 MW, if needed.
Woodside plans to take FID on the
project in 2H of this year. If greenlighted,
operations should begin in 2025.
Covenant Logistics orders
zero-emissions fuel cell
electric vehicles to decarbonize
freight transport
Nikola Corp. announced it will supply
40 Nikola Tre fuel cell electric vehicles
and 10 Nikola Tre battery-electric
vehicles to Covenant Logistics Group.
The zero-emissions vehicles will help
Covenant decarbonize its transportation
operations. The Tre battery-electric
vehicle is best suited for short-haul,
metro-regional applications, while
the Tre fuel cell electric vehicle has an
anticipated range of 500 mi. Nikola will
begin delivering the zero-emissions
vehicles to Covenant this year.

stoves, supplying it to businesses for use in chemical processes like fertilizer
production, or using it to power vehicles.

Renewables received $50 MM in project
financing to build a renewable H2
plant for Calumet's renewable diesel
facility in Great Falls, Montana. Once
completed, the renewable H2
plant will
increase renewable diesel production
and further reduce the carbon intensity
of products from Montana Renewables.
The renewable H2
plant has an expected
operational startup in Q4 this year.
Calumet is increasing renewable diesel
production at its Great Falls facility from
5,000 bpd to 12,000 bpd.
