The Winter issue of Global Hydrogen Review explores a range of topics including hydrogen hubs, green hydrogen production, pipelines, hydrogen for mobility and much more. The issue also looks at how Hamburg, Germany, is driving the decarbonisation of industry and the establishment of a complete green hydrogen value chain.
This month's front cover is brought to you by Honeywell Connected Industrial.
Hydrogen finds its feet
Drake Hernandez, Charles River Associates (CRA), USA, examines where demand for hydrogen may grow, and the implications of a potential shift to a liquid market.
Hydrogen hubs: a strategic balancing act
Grant Grothen, Jane Newman-Ford and Randy Davis, Burns & McDonnell, USA, make a case for why hydrogen hubs will help shape the future of the global energy transition.
The Hamburg hot spot
Hamburg, Germany, is driving the decarbonisation of industry and the establishment of a complete green hydrogen value chain. Matthias Beer, City of Hamburg, Germany, details the developments that are underway in the city and surrounding region.
Onshore vs offshore: what lies ahead?
Lennart van der Burg and Piet Warnaar, TNO, discuss the future of offshore hydrogen production: what to expect, whether we will be capable of producing our hydrogen offshore, and what the key benefits and challenges will be.
Critical considerations
Robbie Gibson, Black & Veatch, UK, shares six core considerations to keep green hydrogen projects on track.
Green hydrogen and electrolysers: the latest state of play
As public awareness of hydrogen’s potential as a clean alternative fuel grows, the improvement of electrolysers and increased availability of cost-competitive renewable energy will be essential to the green hydrogen industry’s growth. James Abrams, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), offers his take.
Digital tools at the ready
Ezio Pasqualon, Maire Tecnimont Group, alongside Stefano Andreola and Federico Freddi, NextChem, discuss the digital tools available to mitigate the intermittency challenges faced by the green hydrogen arena.
No silver bullet
Bruno Roche, ABB, France, explains how leveraging digital capabilities can aid the scale-up of low-carbon hydrogen production to accelerate decarbonisation.
Preparing for all eventualities
John Anderton, Atmos International, UK, discusses how pipeline simulation can assist with the hydrogen transition.
Reduce, reuse, recycle your pipelines?
Ollie Burkinshaw, ROSEN UK, examines the extent to which the industry should aim to repurpose existing pipelines for hydrogen transport, as opposed to building new ones.
Hydrogen for mobility; growing the hydrogen economy
Manish Patel, Air Products, UK, outlines why there is massive potential for the UK to be at the heart of the international hydrogen economy.
The right fit
As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles become more common, it is important to ensure that they – and the refuelling infrastructure to support them – operate safely and efficiently. Chuck Hayes, Swagelok Company, details how to choose the best fittings for hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Stepping stones in the energy transition
Richard Laukam, ValvTechnologies; Tim Webb, Severn; and Mark Green, LB Bentley Ltd, discuss how equipment manufacturers are readying themselves to make a hydrogen-powered future a reality.
Utilising the speed of light and sound
Tomoo Ishiguro and Ryoya Masumura, Riken Keiki, Japan, introduce a new method for determining the calorific value of hydrogen-blended gas.
