In addition to fuel cell applications, water electrolysis affords several opportunities for producing high-grade heat by utilising electrolytic hydrogen and oxygen in combustion applications. This can reduce or eliminate the atmospheric emissions associated with the combustion of conventional fuels. Importantly, net-zero heat can be produced if the electrolyser is powered by renewable electricity, whereby the output gases may be termed green hydrogen and green oxygen. This paper provides an overview of prospective applications for electrolysers in the heat sector by considering three general implementation pathways based on how the electrolytic oxygen is used.

The industry association Hydrogen Europe has published its 2×40 GW Green Hydrogen Initiative paper, to promote a massive increase in electrolyser production in the EU in order to support 'green' hydrogen production. The paper envisages boosting electrolyser capacity in the EU to 40 GW by 2030, alongside another 40 GW in neighbouring countries, especially in North Africa and Ukraine, in the same timescale.

Norwegian-based DNV GL, a leading technical advisor to the oil & gas industry, has published a new research paper that highlights the significant role hydrogen can play in decarbonising the global energy supply and thereby mitigating climate change. Decarbonisation could drive an estimated 100 000-fold rise in demand for hydrogen for energy by 2050. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

German-based SFC Energy has received another follow-up order from the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), which is responsible for the procurement of all materiel for the German armed forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Munich-based SFC Energy has received another follow-up order from the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). The order, worth approximately €1.25 million (US$1.4 million), includes Emily fuel cells for supplying off-grid power to devices onboard vehicles, as well as SFC Power Managers and accessories.
