TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT
GREEN H2
Raven SR to build first
waste-to-H2
plant
Raven SR Inc., a renewable fuels
company, has selected POWER Engineers
Inc. and Stellar J Corp. to complete the
final design, engineering and fabrication
of the company's first commercial
renewable fuels production facilities, to
be located in the San Francisco Bay area.
The facilities will convert a blend of green
waste and food waste into green H2
for
the commercial transportation market.
Raven SR's first commercial systems
will produce up to 10,000 kg/d of
renewable H2
from a blend of green waste
and food waste that is being diverted
from landfilling. Raven SR's patented
steam/CO2
it one of the only non-combustion
waste-to-H2
reformation process makes
processes in the world.
Raven SR's first commercial systems
can reduce landfill waste by up to 200
tpd, converting it to nearly 10 tpd of
renewable H2
the first two H2
, which is enough to power
around 200 heavy-duty trucks per day.
The Bay Area sites will also serve as
hubs in a partnership
between Raven SR and Hyzon Motors
Inc. to fuel regional Hyzon fleets, and to
supply H2
for commercial fuel stations
in the region. Hyzon and Raven SR have
announced the co-development of 100
H2
hubs in the U.S. and internationally.
LIQUEFACTION
Joule Processing commercializes
ultra-efficient H2
liquefaction
Joule Processing has signed an
exclusive partnership agreement with
JTurbo Engineering and Technology to
provide its twin-expander refrigeration
technology for H2
liquefaction.
Joule will utilize the technology to
bring an ultra-energy-efficient H2
liquefaction plant to market.
The plant is the newest addition to
Joule's suite of modular process systems.
The plants are capable of liquifying H2
for transportation at near-atmospheric
pressure and temperatures below
-400°F, with a minimum specific energy
consumption.
Joule's H2
liquefaction plant is
designed specifically for the new H2
economy, featuring a compact, simple
design. The technology liquefies H2

Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies
GmbH and Johannes Østensjø Dy AS
recently founded the JV company
Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime AS. The
aim is to develop and market emissionsfree
liquid organic H2
carrier (LOHC)based
applications for shipping and to
have a commercial product ready for
operation from 2025.
The focus is onboard LOHC/fuel
cell propulsion systems on a MW scale.
By binding the H2
to the LOHC, it will
be a particularly safe technology.
Hydrogenious' LOHC applies to
conventional bunkering facilities
onboard, as well as in ports.
Funding agency Enova, owned by
the Norwegian Ministry of Climate
and Environment, will support the
JV's initial project, HyNjord, with
NOK 26 MM (€2.5 MM).
very low energy consumption, utilizing
JTurbo's patent-pending twin-expander
processes for both precooling and
liquefaction and subcooling refrigeration
cycles. At present, Joule is offering
standardized H2
liquefaction plants at
capacities of 10 metric tpd, 15 metric tpd
and 30 metric tpd of liquid H2
.

and demand side of liquid H2
production.
Under the MOU, RenewH2 plans to reform
biogenic methane gas to generate H2. The
H2 would then be liquefied and delivered
to H2 fueling stations, which are expected
to be developed in collaboration with
Hyzon. Through this collaboration, the
stations can be located near Hyzon
customers to help provide consistent
demand for the fuel.
Both companies are interested in
expanding liquid H2 infrastructure due to
gas. Because of

. The range
to 1,000 mi, based on Hyzon's recently
announced agreement to develop ultraheavy-duty
liquid H2
The greater range means fewer
fueling stations, thereby reducing the
need for liquid H2
to be transported to
many locations. In addition, the refueling
infrastructure capital and operating
costs are expected to be lower when
compared to gaseous H2
, due to the
elimination of the compression and
refrigeration equipment.
RenewH2
is expected to begin
producing H2 at its Wyoming facility
in 2023, with ultimate capacity of
300 tpd using steam methane reformers.
In addition to producing liquid H2
RenewH2 expects to store and deliver
,
the fuel. Per the MOU, the fuel could be
delivered by a fleet of Class-8 Hyzon
trucks, owned and operated by RenewH2
Hyundai to develop
H2
fuel cell for mobile power
Hyundai Motor Co. signed an MOU
with Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems
Co. to develop an H2
fuel cell package
for mobile power generation. Under
the MOU, the two parties will develop
an H2
fuel cell package dedicated for
mobile power generators and alternative
maritime power (AMP) supply solutions,
based on Hyundai Motor's polymer
electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
system that is used in Hyundai Motor's
fuel cell vehicles.
The new fuel cell-based package
system is expected to be a gamechanger
in the mobile generator market,
which is dominated by diesel generators.
Environmentally friendly, distributed
power solutions like the one planned can
address carbon-neutral electric needs
