Who owns electrolyser process safety?

The tools needed to manage hydrogen production by electrolysis already exist, but ownership and responsibility for applying process safety is often vague. James Steven, Business Development and Growth Manager, Energy Systems, DNV, argues that as more electrolyser projects are designed and built, ambiguity is leaving important risks unaddressed.

Dealing with the bacteria that can make a well go sour

Reservoir microbiology is the study and practice of managing microbial growth and contamination in underground and undersea fossil fuel reservoirs – contamination which can lower the quality of the product, reduce output and destroy infrastructure. This is a massive issue for traditional oil and gas extraction, but one which also has an impact on carbon capture and sustainable energy. Ahead of the Energy Institute’s Reservoir Microbiology Forum (RMF) later this year, Toby Clark spoke to three members of the Forum’s committee about what the field entails and where it is going.

Significant investment scale-up required to meet Australia’s hydrogen ambitions

Australia has ambitions to be a major hydrogen exporter as it transitions to a net zero economy; while new analysis suggests that running a hydrogen plane could be cheaper than traditional aircraft by 2035, providing the right taxation is in place. Elsewhere, plans have been announced for what is claimed will be Europe’s first commercial-scale hydrogen truck refuelling station with liquid hydrogen storage; and the world’s largest carbon-free green hydrogen plant reaches financial close.
