NSW Hydrogen Strategy update

By on August 17, 2023
The NSW Hydrogen Strategy provides for $3 billion of incentives to commercialise green hydrogen supply chains in NSW and includes Australia’s first and only legislated hydrogen production target. This session will provide an overview of key actions in the NSW Hydrogen Strategy and the status of their implementation. By attending this session, you will gain further details on how to apply for the green hydrogen electricity cost concessions, which provide an estimated $2 reduction per kg of hydrogen. Updates will also be available on the NSW hydrogen hub initiative and the NSW hydrogen infrastructure masterplan.

Development of Clean Fuel Ammonia Value Chain

By on August 16, 2023
First, I would like to briefly introduce the organization and mission of CFAA. In addition, I would like to introduce Japan’s efforts for hydrogen and ammonia, especially efforts to build a value chain for fuel ammonia, the roadmap, and the policy support of the Japanese government for their introduction. Finally, I would like to point out the necessity of forming partnerships at each level in order to realize value chain construction together with other countries.

The IMO charts a course to net-zero

By on July 18, 2023
The IMO member states have agreed to a new roadmap for the decarbonisation of the global shipping sector, including emissions reduction targets to be met in 2030 and 2040. It was also established that a well-to-wake approach will be the basis for the lifecycle analysis of maritime fuels going forward, with the uptake of near or zero-carbon alternative technologies & fuels to account for 5 - 10% of the global shipping sector by 2030.

Preparing the Netherlands for large-scale ammonia imports

By on May 25, 2023
As Europe is expected to import a significant part of its hydrogen needs, ammonia cracking will play a key role. New results from a pre-feasibility study shed light on important considerations for efficient, safe deployment of industrial scale cracking at Rotterdam. Modernisation of the Netherland’s official ammonia storage and loading guideline also shows that fit-for-purpose regulation will be important to meet the demands of a fast-growing ammonia industry.

GX bonds: new Japanese green subsidy program unveiled

By on May 17, 2023
Key elements of Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) push have been unveiled, including policy support for the implementation of ammonia energy solutions, and a $1 trillion total public-private investment package. A subsidy scheme to address the price difference between hydrogen, ammonia and fossil fuels is included, with a nominal price tag of $36 billion, running into the 2030s.

The state-of-play for decarbonising ammonia in Australia: new government report

By on May 05, 2023
While the opportunity for Australia to become a world-leading exporter of green molecules is well-established, State of Hydrogen 2022 suggests the best progress to date has been made on a domestic opportunity: decarbonisation of existing ammonia production within Australia. Government support for emerging hydrogen hubs, workforce training and regulatory updates are highlighted as key next steps.

Scrap “green” and “blue” hydrogen, use emissions intensity instead: new IEA report

By on May 05, 2023
The International Energy Agency has proposed a new taxonomy for hydrogen definitions based on emissions intensity, moving away from color labels. In Towards hydrogen definitions based on their emissions intensity, the IEA proposes a set of nine distinct, technology-neutral emissions intensity bands. The report also advocates for an international approach to ensure interoperability between certification schemes, and suggests that a mutual recognition approach based on the IPHE’s emissions methodology is the best way forward.
