5 Solutions to Explore at 2nd American Hydrogen Forum

The 2nd American Hydrogen Forum is two weeks away and will bring together hydrogen producers, transporters, storage providers, and solutions across the hydrogen supply chain.

IHI: EPC Services with Expertise

As a full service EPC company, IHI's corporate history dates back to 1851 with JohnBrown, through the 2000s with Aker, and now a subsidiary of IHI Corporation.

IHI, for example, provided the front-end engineering and cost estimate for the green hydrogen project in Delta, Utah and detailed design for a hydrogen plant in Sweeney, Texas.

Along the Gulf Coast and globally, IHI provides the EPC services to develop gas processing, midstream, petrochemicals, renewables, biofuels, and synthetic gas or derivatives.

Cemvita Factory: Synthetic Biology for CO2 Utilization

Cemvita Factory is applying synthetic biology to create a carbon utilization platform (surface and subsurface), space biomanufacturing, and biomining.

"I think people are realizing more about the importance of really focusing on carbon capture and utilization because fossil fuels are gonna be here, whether we like it or not, for a long time, so the best thing we could do is to find ways to decarbonize them," Moji Karimi, co-founder and CEO, tells InnovationMap. "There's been this focus around carbon capture and storage, and I think the next awakening is going to be utilization."

In 2021, Cemvita was recognized as BloombergNEF Pioneer, selected in the first cohort of the Carbon to Value Initiative, and announced plan with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures to develop pilot plant for CO2-to-Bio-Ethylene technology. Late in 2021, the company received strategic capital from 8090 Partners, Energy Capital Ventures, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Sumitomo.

Lauda: Industrial Scale Temperature Control

Lauda-Brinkmann is a world leader in temperature control with a modular interface, superior cooling, and high connectivity for commercial and industrial applications.

Lauda's extensive product line offers safety and service for the reliability that is needed in industrial processes.

TMEIC: Driving Industries

TMEIC drives industrial processes with motors, drives, generators, photovoltaic inverters, and automation equipment. In 2021, the company continued it's leadership on drive systems for large capital projects:

• Large-scale battery energy storage systems in the UK
• Motor system and automation for Mexico's hot strip mill
• Utility-scale PV inverters for renewable energy in Vietnam

Established in 2003, Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) resulted from the integration of Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation’s industrial systems divisions.

RenewH2: End-to-end Hydrogen

Based out of Denver, Colorado, RenewH2 has the largest source of biogenic methane in the state of Wyoming. The company plans to convert the methane into blue hydrogen and ultimately provide green hydrogen with rewenable energy sources.

In 2021, Hyzon Motors partnered with RenewH2 to align liquid hydrogen production, distribution, and uptake for hydrogen fueling stations.

“By aligning the production of hydrogen with the fueling infrastructure and the end-consumer – hydrogen-powered trucks – this partnership addresses the chicken-and-egg problem that has prevented broad-scale hydrogen adoption,” said Hyzon CEO Craig Knight. “This type of collaboration is crucial to accelerating decarbonization.”

RenewH2 intends to be the end-to-end hydrogen solution for transportation, heat & power for buildings, industrial power, and industry feedstock.
