Massive Green Ammonia Project Set to Transform Europe's Energy Landscape
Berlin, Wednesday, 4 December 2024.
GIZ and RP Global are launching a 3GW electrolyser project in Argentina, powered by a 4.2GW wind farm. This initiative will produce green ammonia for European export, boosting renewable energy efforts.
Green Hydrogen Pioneer Breaks Ground: Avina's $10M Push to Revolutionise Global Shipping
United States, Tuesday, 3 December 2024.
In a bold move to tackle shipping’s 3% global emissions problem, Avina Clean Hydrogen is rapidly expanding its clean fuel solutions. Fresh from a $10M funding round, they’re not just talking about change - they’re building it. Their Texas facility, newly certified under EU standards, aims to transform maritime transport with e-Methanol and clean ammonia. What makes this particularly exciting is their timing: as shipping emissions have jumped 20% in the past decade, Avina’s expansion perfectly aligns with IMO’s ambitious 2030 targets. I find it fascinating that they’re targeting the shipping industry first - a sector that’s historically been one of the hardest to decarbonise.
Thailand's Bold Energy Revolution: From Fossil Fuels to Hydrogen and Nuclear by 2030
Bangkok, Monday, 2 December 2024.
In a groundbreaking shift, Thailand aims to revolutionise its energy landscape with a 51% renewable target, including an ambitious 5% hydrogen component. The plan, backed by industry giants EGAT, PTT, and Mitsubishi Power, tackles the growing energy demands of AI technology, which currently consumes power equivalent to 100 oil refineries. Small modular nuclear reactors will join the mix, marking Thailand’s most significant clean energy transformation since industrialisation.
Green Revolution in Oil Refining: Andalusia's Hydrogen Breakthrough Changes the Game
London, Monday, 2 December 2024.
In a groundbreaking development, Andalusia (Spain) has cracked the code for low-emission hydrogen production in oil refining. Their innovative approach using biomass gasification isn’t just greener - it’s actually cheaper than traditional methods. I’m particularly excited about how this could revolutionise the refining industry’s massive hydrogen consumption, potentially slashing global emissions while keeping costs competitive. This discovery proves that sustainable solutions don’t always come with a premium price tag.
Europe's Green Hydrogen Dream Hits Reality: Only 0.1% of 2030 Target Achieved
Europe, Monday, 2 December 2024.
Despite ambitious plans to revolutionise its energy landscape with hydrogen, Europe faces a stark reality check. With just 62 megawatts of electrolyzer capacity installed - a mere 0.1% of its 2030 target - and 99% of current hydrogen still produced from fossil fuels, the continent’s green hydrogen dreams need urgent acceleration. I’ve found that high production costs and lack of committed buyers are creating a classic chicken-and-egg problem that’s stalling progress.
Breaking Barriers: Women's Network Revolutionises Green Hydrogen Industry
Berlin, Monday, 2 December 2024.
I’m excited to share how Women in Green Hydrogen, founded in 2020, is transforming the male-dominated hydrogen sector. With over 12,000 LinkedIn followers and expanding chapters in Africa, Latin America, and India, they’re not just networking - they’re reshaping the future of sustainable energy. Their upcoming Cape Town event on 3 December 2024 showcases their commitment to mentorship and professional development. As someone passionate about both sustainability and equality, I find it remarkable how they’ve created a powerful platform that combines technical expertise with inclusive leadership. Their work demonstrates that diversity isn’t just about numbers - it’s about bringing fresh perspectives to one of our most crucial environmental challenges.
Green Hydrogen Revolution: Global Leaders Unite to Bridge the Skills Gap
Portaledge, Sunday, 1 December 2024.
In a groundbreaking forum at Portugal’s IPP, over 150 industry titans, academics, and policymakers joined forces to tackle the green hydrogen skills shortage. I’m excited about how this collaboration between education and industry is shaping tomorrow’s sustainable energy workforce. The forum spotlighted innovative training approaches and real-world industry needs, marking a crucial step towards accelerating the hydrogen economy’s growth. With major players like EDP and Fusion Fuel sharing their roadmaps, we’re seeing a clear path to powering our future sustainably.
