PROJECTS UPDATE
AFRICA
Consortium to build capitalintensive
waste-to-H2
project
A consortium consisting of Fertiglobe,
Orascom, Scatec and the Sovereign Fund
of Egypt are developing a $3-B wasteto-H2
plant
in Egypt. The 1-GW plant, to
be built in Port Said, will use 4 MMtpy
of non-recycled plastics and agricultural
waste for energy production to produce
300,000 tpy of green H2
. The facility
will also incorporate carbon capture
technology. Green H2
deliveries are
forecast to begin in late 2025/early 2026.
The consortium also plans to develop
a 100-MW green H2
plant in Ain Sokhna.
The electrolyzer will be supplied by
Plug Power. The 100-MW electrolyzer
will produce green H2
using polymer
electrolyte membrane technology. The
green H2
will be instrumental in enabling
the facility to produce 90,000 tpy of
green ammonia. The plant is scheduled
to begin operations in early 2024.
ASIA-PACIFIC
Consortium to develop green
H2
capacity in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The H2
and ammonia production
biscus Project will convert
hydropower and natural gas to green H2
methanol and blue H2. The H2
/
will be used
to produce ammonia, which will be used
domestically and exported to Korea. The
plant will produce 7,000 tpy of green
H2
for Sarawak's local use; 600,000 tpy
of blue ammonia; 630,000 tpy of green
ammonia and 460,000 tpy of green
methanol. The project is scheduled to
move into pre-front-end engineering
design (FEED) in Q1, followed by FEED
and the award for the engineering,
procurement and construction contract.
Shanghai's Jiading District
to accelerate development
of H2
fuel cells
The Jiading District of Shanghai
has issued policies to promote the
electrification, automation and network
connection to accelerate H2
fuel cell
10 Q1 2022 | H2-Tech.com
in Malaysia
A consortium consisting of Lotte
Chemical, POSCO, Samsung Engineering
and SECD Energy SDN plans to develop
green H2

vehicles in the area. Several companies
have joined the district's program. These
companies include Horizon Robotics,
Li Auto, NIO, SAIC Volkswagen, Shanghai
Propulsion Technology and Volvo,
among several others.
Elixir Energy progresses
Gobi H2
project in Mongolia
Elixir Energy signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with Mongolia
Green Finance Corp. to work together
to secure financing with international
financial institutions. The partnership
also includes the following:
* Both parties will work to develop a
large-scale forestry/nature offsets
in Mongolia. These areas help offset
emissions in the production stages
of operations.
* Both parties will identify Mongolian
carbon offset opportunities at the
household level. Elixir Energy plans
to reduce its exploration/appraisal
stage scope 1 and 2 carbon
emissions by such means.
If the project is developed, it could
provide a major H2 source for customers
in the region.
Tasmania to work with the
Port of Rotterdam on
green H2
exports
Tasmania has signed an MoU with the
exports from Bell Bay,
production
Port of Rotterdam to study the feasibility
of green H2
Tasmania to the Netherlands. Tasmania's
goal is to boost green H2
domestically for export. At the same
time, the Port of Rotterdam has plans to
become a major green H2
import hub in
Europe. Tasmania plans to start green H2
shipments to Rotterdam by 2027.
China Yuchai launches
China's first operating H2
engine for commerical vehicles
China Yuchai announced its YCK05
H2-powered engine is operational
for use in the country's commercial
vehicle market. The YCK05 H2
-powered
engine adopts several advanced
special technologies such as highpressure
multi-point inlet air injection
technology, high-efficiency lowinertia
turbocharging technology,
high-efficiency lean burn combustion
technology, etc. The engine design
upgrades the engine structure and
its subsystems such as the combustion
and gas distribution systems.
Reliance aims to invest heavily
in H2
infrastructure
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and
Managing Director, Reliance Industries
Ltd., announced plans to invest
approximately $75 B in renewables
infrastructure. These investments include
several pathways to reach net-zero
carbon emissions by 2035, including the
construction of generation plants, solar
panels and electrolyzers. Reliance plans
to produce approximately 100 GW of
renewable energy by 2030.
Japan to use H2 to reach
net-zero targets by 2050
Currently, approximately 3% of the
country's energy demand is supplied by
nuclear power. The island nation plans to
significantly boost the use of H2
to completely wean off nuclear energy
for power generation. The use of H2
also will Japan reach net-zero targets
by 2050. This includes the use of H2
in
many aspects of society, including in
transportation, steel making and aviation.
CANADA
Green H2
coming to Manitoba
The City of Selkirk in Manitoba is
partnering with Charbone Corp. to build
the city's first green H2
Under the terms of the non-binding
MoU, Charbone will develop the plant,
which will provide green H2
Enbridge Gas completes
Canadian H2
to the city.
Deliveries are expected to begin by 2023.
-blending project
Enbridge Gas has completed the
more than $5-MM pilot-blending project
that will enhance the existing Markham
Power-to-Gas facility. The power-to-gas
facility helps balance Ontario's electricity
supply and demand by storing the
province's surplus electricity as pure
H2
until it is needed.
The project will also inject H2
into
Enbridge Gas' existing natural gas
system. The blending of H2
and natural
production facility.
