In The Netherlands, Power Engineering International reported that Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) announced a non-binding agreement with GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business to collaborate on a design of highly efficient green hydrogen production modules. The ultimate objective of the partnership is to achieve a $2 per kilogram production price for green hydrogen, according to the report. GE Vernova and CIC intend to co-develop an off-grid modular green hydrogen production technology that could form the building blocks of CIC’s flagship Green Springs – a 10GW green hydrogen production project in Australia’s Northern Territory. CIC’s Green Springs project is expected to deploy an expected 2,150 modules which in aggregate will produce more than 500,000 tons of hydrogen annually when fully operational, the report added. CIC chairman, David Green, said: “Green Springs will demonstrate that renewable, sustainable hydrogen can be delivered at scale, in arid environments without accessing local water sources or using desalination, and in a way that pushes production efficiency closer to achieving a cost-competitive $2 per kilogram price point.” “Through this agreement with GE Vernova, we hope to redefine traditional hydrogen production to be of the lowest carbon intensity, produced in a wider range of environments, and at a competitive price,” Green added.
