Honeywell and ZoneFlow Reactor Technologies conducted pilot plant testing of the ZoneFlow Reactor in ZFRT’s large-scale pilot plant at Université Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.

Jericho Energy Ventures (JEV) announced that a prominent Western University has elected to adopt JEV's state-of-the-art, zero-emission DCC H₂-fueled steam boiler for deployment within the university's district heat system.

As engineers design H₂ production facilities, they must focus on creating well-constructed fluid systems to ensure peak performance of the plant. In fact, effective fluid systems can significantly influence the safety, productivity and profitability of H₂ production facilities. 

From an operational perspective, the basic function of a compressor control system is to provide startup and shutdown sequencing, operational and process control, human-machine interfacing and monitoring, and equipment safety alarms and shutdowns.

For nearly seven decades, H₂ generation has predominantly been the domain of the fertilizer and petroleum industries. The fertilizer industry drove commercial production due to nitrogenous fertilizers being made from ammonia (NH₃) directly synthesized from H₂ and nitrogen.

A powerful distributed control system that is connected with homogeneous smart devices and Internet of Things technologies provides assistance by bringing complex, variable data into one place.

Bipolar plates are essential components of proton exchange membrane, solid oxide, molten carbonate, direct methanol and phosphoric acid fuel cells.

Enhancing the energy efficiency of existing assets via modernization has proven to be one of the fastest ways to reduce a facility’s emissions profile incrementally. Modernization projects can have a positive impact, with many delivering CO₂ reductions at costs as low as €10/t–€30/t.

The August H₂Tech Tech Spotlight explores technological advances in H₂ technology, such as an electrolyzer module to optimize the design and maximize the efficiency of H₂ production units, bipolar plates, advanced H₂ sealing materials and equipment to introduce green H₂ in the gas transmission network.

As part of a debottlenecking procedure, a refinery in Oklahoma (U.S.) was interested in analyzing its H₂ recycle compressor performance, thinking it may need rerating to improve plant capacity.

AFC Energy and Speedy Hire announced the proposed launch of a dedicated H₂-powered generator plant hire business.

The CertifHy Non-Governmental Certification Scheme offers certified proof of origin for H₂ throughout Europe. CertifHy aims to facilitate and advance the production, procurement and use of non-renewable, renewable and low-carbon H₂.
