Researchers at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar have proposed a groundbreaking solar-powered freeze desalination and electrolysis system to produce freshwater and green hydrogen in remote desert areas. The innovative system integrates bifacial photovoltaics, brackish groundwater production, freeze desalination with ice storage air conditioning, green hydrogen production, storage, and a fuel cell to support agricultural activities in hot desert environments. The system, using LaNi5 as a storage medium, achieves significant energy and exergy efficiencies during the day and night, generating electricity, fresh water, air conditioning, and hydrogen for nighttime energy storage. The researchers highlight the need for further technoeconomic studies to enhance the system's efficiency and feasibility. In Germany, BP has announced a final investment decision for the Lingen Green Hydrogen project, a 100 MW plant located near its Lingen refinery in Lower Saxony. Supported by the IPCEI program, the project aims to produce 11,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, directly connected to the hydrogen core network. This project signifies BP's largest industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant, emphasizing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Meanwhile, SunHydrogen has successfully completed a demonstration of its green hydrogen technology at a 1m² scale, achieving promising solar-to-hydrogen efficiency levels. The company's collaboration with CTF Solar resulted in the demonstration of 10.8% efficiency at the Honda R&D facility in Japan. This milestone allows SunHydrogen to move forward with site selection for larger pilot demonstrations, further advancing the deployment of green hydrogen technology. These initiatives showcase significant advancements in green hydrogen production, energy efficiency, and sustainable water production, contributing to the global transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
