Researchers from China University of Petroleum are delving into the interactions between hydrogen and microorganisms in underground storage facilities. Their study, titled 'Integration of underground green hydrogen storage in hybrid energy generation,' underscores the importance of geological assessments and risk mitigation strategies to ensure the stability and affordability of green hydrogen storage. This research highlights the critical role of underground storage in managing varying energy demands, particularly advocating for hybrid energy systems to overcome limitations of standalone hydrogen storage. In a significant development, Sungrow Hydrogen has emerged victorious in a $4.1 billion bid to undertake the world's largest green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol integrated project. The Chinese company is set to deploy its 1000Nm³/h ALK hydrogen production system at the Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park project in Jilin, China. The project, with a substantial production capacity, is projected to generate 110,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, 600,000 tonnes of green ammonia, and 60,000 tonnes of green methanol annually. On another front, HDF Energy has received approval from the European Commission for French financial support towards its industrial project in Blanquefort. This funding, amounting to up to 172 million euros, will be dedicated to advancing and industrializing high-power hydrogen fuel cells at HDF Energy's facility near Bordeaux. The focus will be on developing fuel cells tailored for heavy maritime and rail mobility applications, as well as for electricity generation for public power grids. Meanwhile, Shell Canada has made a significant stride by finalizing its investment decision for the Polaris carbon capture project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Scotford, Alberta, Canada. This initiative aims to capture around 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the Scotford refinery and chemicals complex, contributing to efforts in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing environmental sustainability.
