PROJECTS UPDATE
EUROPE
Shell starts up Europe's
largest PEM electrolyzer
Europe's largest PEM H2
electrolyzer
commenced operations at Shell's Energy
and Chemicals Park Rheinland in July,
producing green H2
. Plans are underway
to expand capacity of the electrolyzer
from 10 MW to 100 MW at the Rheinland
site, near Cologne. The Rheinland
electrolyzer will use renewable electricity
to produce up to 1,300 metric tpy of
green H2
. The H2
will initially be used to
produce fuels with lower carbon intensity.
NextChem, Mytilineos study
green H2
plant in Italy
Maire Tecnimont subsidiary
NextChem and Mytilineos plan to jointly
develop engineering activities for the
implementation of a green H2
Under the agreement, Mytilineos
will leverage NextChem's and Maire
Tecnimont Group's engineering
expertise in H2
in the H2 business. The project will
convert renewable energy from one of
Mytilineos' solar plants into green H2
.
Air Liquide to transform
German H2
network
Air Liquide is planning to build a
green H2 production plant in Oberhausen,
Germany. With a total capacity to reach
30 MW, the first phase of the project is
expected to be operational by early
2023 with 20 MW.
The world-scale PEM electrolyzer will
be built by a partnership of Air Liquide
and Siemens Energy. By 2023, the
two partners will implement a 20-MW
electrolyzer plant that will produce
renewable H2
and renewable O2
. In a
second phase, Air Liquide has planned to
increase the plant capacity to 30 MW.
ASIA-PACIFIC
FFI studies green H2
in New Zealand, India
Fortescue Future Industries and the
Murihiku Hapu people have entered
into a collaboration agreement to study
and potentially construct a large-scale
green H2
generation project in Southland,
New Zealand. The project seeks to build
NORTH AMERICA
Entergy plans H2
/gas plant
in Texas
Entergy Texas Inc. is seeking approval
to construct the Orange County Advanced
Power Station, a 1,215-MW, dual-fuel,
combined-cycle power facility. The plant
will be capable of powering more than
230,000 homes with a combination of
natural gas and H2
.
In addition to meeting customer
needs across Southeast Texas, the
Orange County Advanced Power Station
will be built with a focus on long-term
sustainability in an economy where many
stakeholders and customers are focused
increasingly on decarbonization.
If the Public Utility Commission
approves Entergy's application,
construction will begin in 2Q 2023.
Entergy Texas expects the plant to be
in service by summer 2026.
CF Industries to build green
ammonia plant in Louisiana
Thyssenkrupp has entered into an
engineering and supply contract with
CF Industries to deliver a green H2
for the production of green ammonia
technologies to grow
plant in Italy.
A. BLUME, Editor-in-Chief
a large-scale H2 plant, with the goal of
starting production in early 2025 and
expanding in stages in the future.
FFI has also entered into a framework
agreement with JSW Future Energy Ltd.
to explore opportunities to develop green
H2
projects in India. Under the agreement,
FFI and JSW Energy will study potential
projects for the production of green H2
for steelmaking, mobility, green ammonia
and other industrial applications in India.
Study for H2
supply chain
in South Australia
ENEOS Corp. has signed an MOU with
Neoen Australia to conduct a study on
a collaboration for the construction of a
CO2
-free H2
and South Australia.
Neoen will study stable renewable
energy supply and water electrolysis
cells for H2
production. ENEOS will be
responsible for more efficient production
of methylcyclohexane (MCH) and
maritime transport of MCH as a form of
H2
storage and transport from Australia
to Japan.
supply chain between Japan
at the Donaldsonville manufacturing
complex in Louisiana. Under the contract,
thyssenkrupp will engineer and deliver a
20-MW H2
production unit based on its
alkaline water electrolysis, as well as all
necessary utilities.
The plant will utilize renewable energy
from the grid to produce green H2
,
which then will be converted to 20,000
tpy of green ammonia. Engineering
and procurement activities have been
initiated, and the start of production is
scheduled for 2023.
MIDDLE EAST/AFRICA
HYPORT Duqm develops
green ammonia in Oman
Oman's green H2
project, HYPORT
Duqm, has signed a cooperation
agreement with Uniper. Under the
cooperation, Uniper will be joining the
project team to provide engineering
services and negotiate an exclusive
offtake agreement for green ammonia.
In the first phase, the HYPORT
Duqm project will develop a 250-MW to
500-MW green H2
facility in the Special
Economic Zone at Duqm. The facility is
planned to come into operation in 2026
and will respond to global demand for
green H2
and its derivatives. HYPORT
Duqm Phase 1 will establish a complete
power-to-product value chain at utility
scale to produce competitive green H2
and green ammonia.
SOUTH AMERICA
Howden provides H2
compression for green
methanol plant
Howden has been selected to deliver
an H2 compression solution to Johnson
Matthey (JM) for the world's first
methanol plant to harness energy from
the wind, in Patagonia, Chile. The Haru Oni
project will enable production of e-fuels to
supply Europe and other regions.
The JM-designed unit will take
atmospheric CO2 as feedstock for the
conversion to e-methanol. This CO2
will
be recovered by direct air capture and
combined with green H2
produced by
plant
PEM electrolysis. The new production
unit will deliver around 900,000 l/yr of
e-methanol as early as 2022, with future
full-scale production units ready by 2026
delivering 550 MM l/yr of e-fuels.
