Innovative Green Methanol and Hydrogen Production Projects Across the Globe
Key Ideas
- Ohmium collaborates with Indian partners to produce green methanol from CO2 emissions, reducing carbon footprint and fossil fuel reliance.
- International Solar Alliance assesses African countries' potential for green hydrogen ecosystems, emphasizing hydropower's cost efficiency.
- Siemens partners with HiiROC to enhance hydrogen production technology using Thermal Plasma Electrolysis for clean hydrogen production.
- Seraphim Reshape and IAEA focus on green hydrogen projects in China, highlighting large-scale hydrogen production and nuclear power integration.
Ohmium International, in collaboration with Indian partners, is pioneering the production of green methanol by combining green hydrogen from PEM electrolyzers with CO2 captured from a thermal power plant. This project aims to reduce carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. The International Solar Alliance's study identifies Egypt, Morocco, Namibia, and Ethiopia as potential hubs for green hydrogen due to their renewable energy potential. The study emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of hydropower in these regions. Siemens and HiiROC are working together to advance hydrogen production technology using Thermal Plasma Electrolysis, which consumes less electricity and produces clean hydrogen. In China, Seraphim Reshape is constructing a large green hydrogen project with annual output in Ningxia. Additionally, the IAEA advocates for integrating nuclear power plants with hydrogen production to drive the hydrogen economy forward.
