At the 2023 ADI Forum, Markus Digruber, EVP at Hoerbiger, discussed the evolution of hydrogen compression for fueling stations. The industry is shifting from pilot projects to large-scale operations, emphasizing operational success and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). New high-pressure reciprocating compressors are crucial, with diaphragm compressors remaining vital for specialized high-pressure uses. Commercialization […]

At the 2023 ADI Forum, Panuswee Dwivedi, Project Manager at ADI Analytics, discussed green hydrogen’s projected rise, driven by PEM and alkaline technologies. While blue hydrogen remains crucial for existing industrial users with CCS, the green hydrogen value chain faces supply chain constraints, particularly with iridium. Electrolyzer development focuses on reducing precious metal use and […]

Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics, discusses the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s impact on energy at the 2023 ADI Forum. The IRA supports clean energy, especially green hydrogen, making it competitive with blue and gray. Electrolyzer cost declines could make green hydrogen cheaper than gray by 2025. Small-scale green hydrogen is already displacing liquefaction markets.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) activity in February 2023 advanced with plant upgrades, military collaboration, and supportive policy initiatives. Valery Energy and Darling Ingredients approved an investment to upgrade the Port Arthur plant in Texas, while the first military helicopter flight using high SAF content was completed in partnership with TotalEnergies and Safran. Broader industry efforts […]

Circa 2005, I was part of a fuels strategy team at an oil company when hydrogen was riding the second wave of hype (the first was during the oil crises of 1970s) following President George Bush’s proclamation of building a hydrogen economy.  That along with high oil and gas prices led us through a deep […]

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) progress in February 2023 was marked by breakthroughs in helicopter operations and CO₂-to-SAF innovation. The first 100% SAF helicopter flight was completed through a partnership involving Safran, Bell, GKN Aerospace, Virent, and Neste, demonstrating new applications for SAF. Further advancements included DHL’s SAF shipping service, Fulcrum BioEnergy’s grant to develop a […]

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) activity in January 2023 reflected continued airline commitment, new technology investments, and supportive policy initiatives. Airlines advanced their SAF adoption targets, with Air France adjusting fares to offset rising costs. Investment momentum grew with Bain Capital backing EcoCares and Dimensional Energy to develop CO₂-to-SAF technology, while Comstock Technology demonstrated progress in […]
