INNOVATIVE WAVE ENERGY PILOT IS ITS WAY PORT OF LOS ANGELES,

Eco Wave Power entered a collaboration agreement with AltaSea earlier this year and announced plans to relocate the energy conversion unit from Gibraltar to AltaSea’s 35-acre campus located at the Port of Los Angeles, the nation’s busiest seaport. This pilot station is part of Eco Wave Power’s increased focus on bringing its pioneering wave energy technology to the United States and expanding their world wide presence. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wave energy off the nation’s coasts can generate the equivalent of about 66 percent of all the electricity generated across the country in 2020.

AltaSea’s President & CEO Terry Tamminen, former Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) said: “We believe that Eco Wave Power aligns well with the AltaSea vision, creating a new way of generating re newable energy, that will help California meet its ambitious goals to address the climate crisis. We are looking forward to welcoming this innovative pilot.”

Doosan Škoda Power has delivered a 270MW steam turbine for the Metsä Group’s bioproduct mill in Kemi, Finland. The Kemi bioproduct mill produces 1.5 million tonnes of softwood and hardwood pulp per year, as well as other bioproducts. The new mill will produce 2.0TWh of renewable electricity every year, equivalent to about 2.5% of Finland’s total electricity production.

$4.2 MILLION IN FUNDING FROM ARPA-E TO DEVELOP BREAKTHROUGH DECARBONISATION TECHNOLOGIES

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE THE MOVE TO A SAFER, MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE WITH SF6 FREE, ECO GAS INSULATED MEDIUM VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR. $1.1 MILLION CONTRACT AND RELEASES NEXT GENERATION OF GLOBE PLATFORM

The mill will have an electricity self-sufficiency rate of 250%, will operate without using any fossil fuels will supply surplus electricity to the national grid.

Both initiatives will be led by GE Gas Power and conducted at GE’s Global Technology Center in Green ville, South Carolina. As part of these projects, GE will conduct cutting-edge research for gas turbine decarbonisation in close collaboration with industrial companies and educational institutions.JohnIntile, Vice President, Engineering at GE Power, said: “As one of the world’s leaders in combustion technology, GE Gas Power is leading technology and manufacturing advance ments in the power generation industry to enable low or zero-carbon power generation.”

GE Gas Power has secured $4.2 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E). The funding is part of the ARPA-E OPEN 2021 program, which prioritizes the advancement of transformational technologies supporting a more decarbonised energy system.

GE Gas Power’s funding is focused on two projects entitled combustion“Lifted-flameforhigh-hydro gen reheat gas turbines” and “Manufacturing high-yield investment castings with minimal energy.”

The EU’s F-gas regulation, which outlines key dates for the pro hibition of SF6 in medium voltage (MV) electrical equipment, in cluding new installations of SF6 gas insulated switchgear (GIS), aims to reduce potent and harmful greenhouse gas emissions, including Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6), by two-thirds by 2030 compared to 2014 levels, reports ABB. The 2022 proposal outlines important new proposed regulations designed to phase out the use of SF6 – an established but environ mentally harmful insulating gas which is 25,200 times more potent than CO2. This has been made possible with the development of SF6 alternatives paving the way for this level of regulation, i ncluding pioneering products within ABB’s ecoGIS™ portfolio.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN POWER ACHIEVED WITH THE DELIVERY OF A 270MW STEAM TURBINE

The turbine itself has a tailor-made condensing turbine section solution and is equipped with two steam bleed connections of different pressure levels.Jindřich Závodný, project manager at Doosan Škoda Power, told WIP:.

Getech, the geoenergy and green hydrogen com pany, has signed a $1.1 million multi-year contract with a major international energy company for its ‘Globe’ platform and launched the next generation of this innovative tool that models the Earth’s evolution over the last 400 million years. The new Globe sale demonstrates the continued strong demand for Getech’s products. Approximately one third of this revenue will be recognised in the c urrent financial year, with the balance over the subsequent two-year period. Globe synthesises geo science data into a ‘digital twin’ of the Earth - modelling geologic, climatic, and oceanographic systems to provide unique insight into energy processes.

Drawing on the success of multiple SF6-free projects in the field since 2015 for 12 to 40.5 kV MV ecoGIS with reliable low-pressure design, a new new whitepaper from ABB contains valuable informa tion which engineers and specifiers need to know to make a success of their product selection, piloting, and specification shift. Regular buyers of ABB products will already be familiar with PrimeGear™ ZX0, available with insulating Dry Air or AirPlus™. This switchgear is also available as an optional eco-ready panel to ensure maximum flexibility, allowing you to buy with SF6 inside that can be easily refilled with AirPlus in the future. It is future focused, ready to sup port the digitalization of all your operations, says ABB.

IN BRIEF

Doosan Škoda Power will also deliver a generator, condenser, and rest of the accessories for the steam turbine as part of the contract, .

“Despite all these challenges and thanks to the extraordinary effort, our team managed to deliver in full as per the client requirements.

“The engineering, procurement and manufacturing phase of the project has been a challenge due to the previous COVID-19 restrictions, which caused significant delays together with increase in the raw material costs.

“Heavy lifts have currently been carried out on the construction site, mechan ical assembly continues, and com missioning will follow. We are staying focused to keeping up the good work.“

GenCell Energy, a leading provider of hydrogen and ammonia to power fuel cell solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with the ONEC Group, a mid-sized Canadian project delivery company which has been providing exceptional EPC&M (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Maintenance) services for over 20 years. Together the two companies aim to grow the presence of GenCell’s backup and off-grid power solutions across North America. Appreciating the strong business potential for GenCell’s hydrogen and ammonia-based products in the Alberta region, where investment in hydrogen infrastructure is rapidly expanding in alignment with the establishment of a regional Hydrogen Hub, the ONEC Group has purchased three GenCell BOX™ backup power solutions to jumpstart the partners’ collaboration. Over the past year, ONEC, which was looking at the hydrogen market as part of its transition to renewables, has successfully deployed a first joint pilot project incorporating the GenCell hydrogen fuel cell module within a self-contained mobile generator. This has been adapted to the Canadian climate and regulatory systems and transported to the ATCO Power Nisku Alberta site where it will run as an emergency power source for a year.

The Kepco consortium saw off competition from the local ACWA Power and local Al-Jomaih consortiums to be appointed for the Jafurah ISPP scheme.

The project will be developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) structure, with the successful developer signing offtake agreements for power and steam production.

Using Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Light technology, SuedLink DC4 will transfer up to 2,000 MW of emission-free electricity, enough to power 5 million German house holds. The link will efficiently transmit electricity for 550 kilometers underground, at ±525 kilovolts, sending wind power from the north to the industrial south, or alterna tively solar power from the south to the north when needed. Hitachi Energy will supply an HVDC Light converter station at each end of SuedLink DC4 to convert AC power from the transmitting grid to DC for delivery through the link, and back to AC for transfer to the receiving grid. The contract includes three cable section stations to speed up fault detection in the link. As part of its long-term commitment to Germany’s energy transition, Hitachi Energy has recently won or completed orders for solutions that integrate largescale renewables. These include the convert er stations for the NordLink HVDC interconnector be tween Germany and Norway, the converter stations for the connection of the 900megawatt DolWin5 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, the Kriegers Flak Combined Grid Solution which connects the German power grids with two offshore wind farms.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHIENG) will deploy its carbon capture technologies at a Canadian power plant this year. As part of a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study awarded by power company Capital Power Corp, a CO2 capture plant will be installed at the repowered Genesee Generating Station Units 1 & 2 in Alberta, Canada. The units are owned by Capital Power and incorpo rate natural gas-fired gas turbines. MHIENG said its Advanced KM CDR Process will be deployed at these stations.

GENSETS: TWO 1400 KVA GENSETS FOR A LARGE HOTEL CHAIN IN THE ZEYTINBURNU REGION, TURKEY Shell has committed to building the Holland Hydrogen I, which it said will be Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen once in operation in 2025. The 200MW electrolyser will be constructed on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam and will produce up to 60,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen per day. The renewable power for the electrolyzer will come from the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust (noord), which is partly owned by Shell. The renewable hydrogen produced will supply the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, by way of the HyTransPort pipeline, where it will replace some of the grey hydrogen usage in the refinery, Shell announced. This will partially decarbonize the facility’s production of energy products like petrol and diesel and jet fuel. As heavy-duty trucks are coming to market and refuelling networks grow, renewable hydrogen supply can also be directed toward these to help in decarbonizing commercial road transport.

THE - BUILDING COMMENCES

“Holland Hydrogen I demonstrates how new energy solutions can work together to meet society’s need for cleaner energy. It is also another example of Shell’s own efforts and commitment to become a net-zero emissions business by 2050,” said Anna Mascolo, executive vice president, emerging energy solutions at Shell.

Fuel cell manufacturer GenCell has installed a unique hydrogen-based Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Israel. The breakthrough fuel cell backup technology is a first for an Israeli hospital, with the innovative solution guaranteed to keep the power on 24/7 for critical life-saving equipment and procedures. Located in Hadera, the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center serves a population of 450,000 and the UPS system will not only keep patients safe and ensure continuity of care, but the use of hydrogen will also reduce the hospital’s environmental impact and cut operating costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hillel Yaffe is already respected globally for its progressive approach to sustainability; it was the first hospital in Israel to be granted the ‘Green Label’ certificate from the Standards Institution of Israel and the Environ ment Ministry.

The center invested in hydrogen-based backup to reduce its dependence on polluting diesel generators. The decision followed an in-depth energy cost analysis which revealed the limited backup capacity of the hospital’s diesel generators – where even a momentarily delay between grid and generator can cause sensitive, computerized medical equipment to malfunction, which in turn could have devastating consequences.

HYDROGEN UPS FUEL CELL SYSTEM PROVIDES BACKUP POWER FOR THE HILLEL YAFFE MEDICAL CENTER BASED IN ISRAEL

The Ghaddar Machinery team in Nigeria has installed a complete power system for La Regia Airport Hotel. The system now provides an uninterrupted hassle-free operation for the hotel. The featured project consists of a synchronized power system including Ghaddar 150 KVA and 200 KVA generators powered by John Deere engines 6068HF158 and 6068HFG20 and Leroy Somer alternators TAL044J and TAL044M with the needed synchronizing and totalizing panel and fuel system.

The use of HVO, hydrotreated vegetable oil, whether pure or blended with conventional diesel, does not require any specific engine modifications or upgrades. However, exhaust gas aftertreatment system remains necessary where already provided. Unlike conventional biofuels that take resources away from agriculture and contribute in part to deforestation, HVO is a renewable fuel that can be produced from various vegetable oils and fats: it is derived from biological waste and, free of fossil-derived oils, is a 100% recycled product. In addition, depending on the raw material used in its production, it leads to a reduction in overall CO2 emissions of up to 90%. Engine exhaust emissions also benefit directly, given the very low sulphur content. This announcement marks anoth er step toward Kohler’s new roadmap, which for the first time outlined its strategy for a more sustainable future at the Bauma Media Dialog in Munich.Among the new pillars of the strategy, alternative fuels are aimed at raising awareness of lowcarbon, more economical and logistically manageable fuels. The emphasis, as always, is on innovation and the use of technologies to guide the company toward the green transition, without losing sight of the different needs of OEMs, and keeping engine performance high. -

The TAL044M, on the other hand, is the largest alternator from Leroy Somer’s TAL044M range. The single bearing alternator can be paired with the majority of diesel engines to make an efficient diesel generator. The alternator is a popular choice for prime and standby power applications across a variety of industries such as telecom and commercial. This alternator is also available with an auxiliary wound, shunt or PMG excitation system. Gensets provide essential backup power across a nation which is plagued with rolling power blackouts.

All Kohler diesel-fuelled engines are approved to use HVO in the United States, in line with ASTM D975 standard. This confirmation comes just a few months after European compliance was announced. In February, in fact, Kohler had announced approval to use HVO for all its diesel engines in Europe, in line with the EN15940 standard.

plants, oil rigs, petrochemicals plants, pharmaceutical plants, the food & beverage industry, etc.

An uninterruptible power supply is a vital support system to ensure the continued operation of industrial grade infrastructure. Uninterruptible power supply systems are commonly used to support critical infrastructure during a primary failure. Furthermore, in the case of a short-lived power failure, the industrial-grade uninterruptible power supply can supply the crucial infrastructure with power stored within its battery until the mains power supply is restored. Diesel generators are most used for power backup in major industrial applications. However, due to the rise in pollution levels caused by diesel generators, many countries in the world are banning the use of diesel generators. Diesel generators burn diesel and emit carbon dioxide, carbon mon oxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter. In many industrial applications, companies are using the uninterruptible power supply system for short-term blackouts.

The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) market is expected to register a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 4.44% during the forecast period, reaching the value of US$13.42 billion in 2027 from US$10 billion in 2020.

After 60 years of operation and successful obtainment of a new 50-year federal operating license in 2007, the Niagara Power Project remains the crown jewel and flagship foundation of New York’s power infrastructure and growing clean energy economy.

It was determined that REEL COH was the best value bidder based on its competitive pricing, experience, and its submission of a well-thoughtout project execution plan.

www.nypa.gov The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved the award of a competitively-bid contract, valued up to $37,984,000 to REEL COH, Inc. of Boisbriand, Canada, to fabricate, deliver and install a new gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 680 tons for the Power Authority’s Niagara Power Project in Lewiston in Niagara County, USA. The new crane is critical tool that will help enable the power project’s 15-year modernization and digitization program titled Next Generation Niagara (NGN) and support NYPA’s leadership role in advancing the bold climate action goals as outlined in the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. “The Niagara Power Project’s overhead gantry crane is the workhorse that makes possible all the of the plant’s mechanical upgrades, especially those related to our $1.1 billion multi-year Next Generation Niagara effort to modernize and extend the life of New York’s flagship clean energy plant,” said NYPA Interim President and CEO Justin E. Driscoll. “Many of the efforts to digitize the project are already underway, but a new crane is essential for planned ma jor mechanical upgrades. We are pleased to have REEL COH help us achieve our bold goal to modernize and digitize our foundational hydroelectric plant so we can continue to consistently provide clean energy to our customers and New Yorkers across the state.”

The new crane will play an integral role in NGN and will be rated to carry loads 50 tons greater than its predecessor. The NGN program improvements include replacing aging equipment with the latest machinery that reflects advanced digital technologies for optimizing the hydroelectric project’s performance. In addition to the crane replacement which enables the disassembly and reassembly of the generating units, Next Generation Niagara encompasses three other

The first turbine outage to update the plant’s mechanical components is scheduled to begin in April 2023. Following the collapse of Niagara Mohawk’s Schoellkopf Power Station in 1956 and the elimination of tens of thousands of jobs in the Niagara region and nearly 25 percent of the city’s tax base, the Federal Power Commission issued a license in 1957 to the New York Power Authority to redevelop Niagara Falls’ hydroelectric power. The Power Authority employed 11,700 workers and within three years, 12 million cubic yards of rock were excavated. The herculean effort led to the con struction of a massive main structure that is 1,840 feet long, 580 feet wide and 384 feet high. When the Niagara Power Project produced its first power in 1961, it was the largest hydropower facility in the Western world and President John F. Kennedy called it “an example to the world of North American efficiency and determination.”

As a holistic partner, MWM not only delivers cogeneration plants and gas gensets with an excellent efficiency at attractive prices, but also provides competent advice and service for the development of integrated CHP plants and power plant concepts in order to exploit the entire value chain of decentralized energy generation. Combined heat and power plants with gas engine gensets can easily and inexpensively be integrated in existing plants. The combustion of gas releases mechanical energy which the generator converts into power. The heat produced in the engine can be used with the help of heat exchangers. Basically, distinction can be made between power and heat-led combined heat and power plants. Cogeneration is usually heat-lead. This means that the plant runs when heat is needed, and the resulting power is fed into the national grid.

HEAT PUMPS RENEWABLES PROJECTS:

The project could reduce CO2 emissions at the site by up to 390,000 metric tons per year. At the same time, it would make the cooling water system more efficient and less dependent on climate and weather conditions.

Foward-looking projects BASF Renewable Energy GmbH is responsible for the procurement and trading of renewable energies at BASF. A spokesman commented: “We are a pacesetter and source of ideas for BASF on the way to climate neutrality.” BASF is fully committed to its renewable energy projects. In Sep tember 2021, BASF acquired 49.5 percent of Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm. Assembly work for the wind farm in the Dutch North Sea began in July 2021. The subsidy-free offshore wind farm is scheduled to be fully operational in 2023. With a total installed capacity of 1.5 gigawatts, it will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world at this time. The investment is BASF’s first major investment in renewable electricity plants. This enables BASF to use innovative, low-emission technologies at several production sites in Europe. BASF’s Antwerp Verbund site will benefit significantly from the renewable electricity. The BASF plant in Antwerp is the largest chemical production site in Belgium and the SECOND largest site of the BASF Group worldwide. BASF and RWE are jointly looking into obtaining electricity from renewable sources for BASF’s chemical site in Ludwigshafen A new, additional offshore wind farm in the German North Sea with an installed capacity of 2 gigawatts is to supply green electricity for BASF’s Ludwigshafen plant from 2030 and generate CO2-free production of hydrogen. With the help of wind power, the production of basic chemicals, which was previously based on fossil fuels, is to be electrified. BASF is looking into CO2-low technologies such as electrically heated steam crackers. In order to advance the joint project, BASF and RWE signed a Memorandum of Understanding in May 2021 on a far-reaching co-operation for the development of additional capacities for renewable electricity and the use of innovative technologies.

In Ludwigshafen, BASF requires around 20 million metric tons of steam per year. The plants at the site use much of this as process steam in production, for example, to dry products, heat up reactors or for distilling. Around half of the steam required at the Ludwigshafen site is already produced by recovering heat from production facilities using a low-CO2 process.

www.basf.com

The residual heat in the water will be processed using compression to produce steam that will be fed into the site’s steam network. By integrating the planned heat pump into the site’s production infrastructure, up to 150 metric tons of steam can be produced per hour, equivalent to a thermal output of 120MW.

of steam production will contribute to meeting this target. Dr. Uwe Liebelt, President European Verbund Sites, BASF SE: “Protecting the climate means not only avoiding greenhouse gas emissions but also using energy sustainably – industrial heat pumps enable both. In the future, they will be an essential part of the sustainable energy infrastructure at the Ludwigshafen site.”

An industrial-scale heat pump is being built at the BASF site in Ludwigshafen, Germany by BASF and MAN Energy Solutions. Both companies are now conducting a feasibility study for the planned heat pump in an effort to reduce emissions and natural gas consumption.

The planned large-scale heat pump will enable production of steam using electricity from renewable energy, tapping waste heat from the cooling water system at BASF as a source of thermal energy.

Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN Energy Solutions SE, commented: “Space heating and process heat account for around one-third of German greenhouse gas emissions. Together with BASF, we want to address this significant lever with an innovative solution. We are convinced that our heat pump solution can make a decisive contribution to a climate-friendly supply of steam at the Ludwigshafen site.”

The remaining steam demand, approximately 50 percent, is met by gas and steam power plants, which emit CO2 during generation.

BASF wants to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and new technologies such as the electrification of GIANT HEAT PUMP WILL BE BUILT AT THE BASF SITE IN

Dr. Martin Brudermüller, chairman of the board of executive directors of BASF SE said in a statement: “In the medium term, we want to reduce our CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2030. “The use of technologies such as large heat pumps, which already exist and can be scaled up to industrial size, brings us a lot closer to this goal. In our co-operation with MAN Energy Solutions, we combine the expertise of a chemical Verbund site with the knowhow required for the technological implementation of a project like this. This technology also has the potential to pave the way for projects at other BASF sites.”

Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from low carbon heating technologies such as heat pumps, heat networks and hydrogen fuel cells are zero. That is just one of the findings outlined in a new report produced by ACE Research, working with Energy Saving Trust. Created for the Scottish Government’s ClimateXChange unit, the paper explores the extent to which there are any direct, in-building GHG emissions associated with low and zero carbon heating technologies, in order to inform approaches to zero emission heating technologies within future building regulations. This is critical to properly defining zero direct emission heating technologies and setting out the role they will play on the pathway to Scotland slashing all emissions by 100%, relative to 1990 levels byEntitled2045.

“I would also like to welcome the appointment of Richard Robinson, CEO of Atkins UK and Europe and ACE Board Member. In the new role as deputy co-chair he will champi on the consultant in the industry discussions, crucial if we are to make the most of our role in delivering ambitions around Net Zero and Levelling Up. “ACE will continue to be a supporter of the CLC, working closely with Mark, Richard and other stakeholders, to ensure the views of all our members – large and small –are heard clearly by Government.”

Direct emissions refer to those generated by a heating system at point of use, within the total grounds of the building. This is an important component for informing approaches to net-zero buildings in terms of recommended technologies for space and water heating.

ELEO is building a new battery production plant, increasing its annual battery production capacity tenfold to 500 MWh – equivalent of approximately 10,000 battery packs.

Earlier this year

The battery incorporates advanced lithium-Ion chemistry and a proprietary Battery Management System designed to monitor voltage and temperature to assure safe and efficient operations. With a compact footprint, the 7 kWh battery delivers more power in a smaller package and can be scaled in parallel with additional Vanguard battery packs to meet larger equipment power needs, Briggs & Stratton said. It can be fully charged in less than eight hours and has a charging temperature range of 14° to 122° F (-10° to 50°C).

The trial, organised by HS2’s mains work civils contractor, Skanska Costain Strabag (SCS JV), has demonstrated that the gensets are capable of producing the required energy to power the equipment required on-site.

“With this life-cycle upgrade, we offer customers the opportunity not only to completely overhaul their old engines but also to upgrade them to the latest engine technology at the same time. The upgrade simultaneously prepares the engines for future operation with cli mate-neutral fuels without having to change the fuel type they use at this stage. This is because the 51/60 engine type enables further conversion to alternative fuels, making it a future-proof investment.

Yanmar acquired a majority share in ELEO through its subsidiary Yanmar Europe B.V., by means of a series of related transactions including a full exit of ear ly-stage investor Lumipol Group. The financial terms of the deal were not dis closed.

GENERATORS USED IN LONDON GeoPura 250kVA hydrogen power units (HPUs) have been used at HS2’s Victoria Road Crossover Box in Ealing since 2021 with the aim of replacing the current diesel generators which power machinery on site.

“By placing a greater emphasis on electrification and adding solutions like the 7kWh pack, we are solidifying that commit ment and setting both our customers and Vanguard up for ongoing success.”

HYDROGEN-POWERED

The hydrogen power units are said to provide 100% renewable and emission-free power derived from a hydro gen fuel cell, with power capabilities ranging from 20kW through to 2MW. They use 100% green hydrogen produced from renewable energy. Data from the trial has shown that running the units for 400 hours eliminated around 51 tonnes of carbon compared to using standard diesel generators.
