A decade ago, China used low prices to dominate solar manufacturing, wiping out Western competitors just as worldwide demand for panels started to soar. The US and Europe are determined not to let the same thing happen with hydrogen.
As the world sprints to decarbonize, the next round of competition revolves around a device called an electrolyzer ...
Companies around the world are already revving up electrolyzer production, green hydrogen plants are under construction, and the industry is finally making the leap from pilot projects to industrial scale. BloombergNEF, a clean energy research group, estimates worldwide electrolyzer production will need to grow 91 times by 2030 to meet demand. But many Western clean tech veterans eye the emerging competition with a queasy feeling of déjà vu. More than 40% of all electrolyzers made today come from China, according to BNEF ...
The second compressor is already on site together with its control computer and driver engine and is being tied into the main plant. It is expected that the second compressor will be in dynamic commissioning during the second half of January and therefore able to process a further 6.4 mmscfd of gas volumes raising the plant's processing capacity to close to 12.8 mmscfd.
The present drilling operations on the final horizontal section of the SF-07 side track are scheduled to resume on 5(th) January and this well is expected to be in testing mode in the latter half of this month. If successful, the SF-07V well is expected to supply sufficient gas volumes to utilise most, if not all, of the additional process capacity.
