Nice. Had a punt early this morning. Interest has picked up today.

[tomboyb] 04/6/2020 15:43

Yeah I think its worth a punt -

New management will hype this up at some point -

[dave4545] 04/6/2020 14:42

these type of stocks do well on the hype. So many of them spike big style in the end that I took some too today

[spot1034] 04/6/2020 14:33

An interesting development. I invested in this company because I am also in INL and thought the presence of Stephen Wicks and Nish Malde meant it had potential to do well. In fact it has been a big disappointment. A move into the technology sector could go either way. They could get lucky and find themselves sitting on a real winner (or winners) or the company could do even worse than it did in property.

Anyway, I'm in so I will stay and keep my fingers crossed. We are about to be significantly diluted with the placing, but as the shares were going nowhere we just have to hope that this change of direction will bring rewards in the fullness of time. Just a little bit more news about the company from time to time would be an improvement - to be honest there have been times when I have forgotten I even owned these shares!

Green hydrogen project launched in May 2020

-

Munich, Germany – WEBWIRE – Friday, May 29, 2020
The purpose of HYFLEXPOWER is to prove that hydrogen can be produced and stored from renewable electricity and then added with up to 100 percent to the natural gas currently used with combined heat and power plants.
The purpose of HYFLEXPOWER is to prove that hydrogen can be produced and stored from renewable electricity and then added with up to 100 percent to the natural gas currently used with combined heat and power plants.

With the HYFLEXPOWER project, a consortium made up of Engie Solutions, Siemens Gas and Power, Centrax, Arttic, German Aerospace Center (DLR) and four European universities are implementing a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Framework Program for Research and Innovation (Grant Agreement 884229). The implementation of this project, the world’s very first industrial-scale power-to-X-to-power1 demonstrator with an advanced hydrogen turbine, will be launched at Smurfit Kappa PRF’s site - a company specialized in manufacturing recycled paper - in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France. The purpose of this project is to prove that hydrogen can be produced and stored from renewable electricity and then added with up to 100 percent to the natural gas currently used with combined heat and power plants. For this an existing Siemens SGT-400 industrial gas turbine will be upgraded to convert stored hydrogen into electricity and thermal energy.

A world’s first: Industrial-scale power-to-X-to-power demonstrator

Through its Horizon 2020 framework program the European Commission supports highly innovative research and demonstration projects aiming at developing and creating innovative products and services and thus stimulating growth in Europe. For this, the European Commission is awarding grants in a competitive procedure in which HYFLEXPOWER was able to assert itself against a large number of competitors.

With this particular project, HYFLEXPOWER will demonstrate that renewable hydrogen can serve as a flexible means of storing energy which can then be used to power a high-power industrial turbine.

Storing fluctuating renewable energy is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. In this context, the stakeholders involved in the HYFLEXPOWER project are developing new technologies which can be used across the whole power-to-X-to-power1 cycle. The installed demonstrator will be used to store excess renewable electricity in the form of green hydrogen. During periods of high demand this stored green hydrogen will then be used to generate electrical energy to be fed into the grid.

Engie Solutions has been entrusted with producing energy at the Smurfit Kappa site in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France. At the site, Engie Solutions operates a 12 MWe combined heat and power facility which produces steam for the manufacturing company’s requirements. The conversion of an existing infrastructure has the advantage of significantly lower costs and minimized lead time compared to a greenfield site. The project will develop and demonstrate an advanced plant concept that will contribute to modernizing and improving the factory’s existing power plant.

During two demonstration campaigns, the facility will be powered by a mix of natural gas and hydrogen, ultimately aiming for up to 100 percent hydrogen operation. In this regard, the overall goal of the HYFLEXPOWER project is to test an entirely green hydrogen-based power supply for a completely carbon-free energy mix. This would save up to 65,000 tons of CO2 per year for a SGT-400 at baseload operation.

An exclusively European technology

The consortium selected following the call for proposals is made up exclusively of European companies and bodies. Each stakeholder’s role is defined as follows:

Engie Solutions will build the hydrogen production and storage facility, including the natural gas/hydrogen mixing station prior to the turbine

Siemens Gas and Power will supply the electrolyser for hydrogen production and develop the hydrogen gas turbine

Centrax will upgrade the package for hydrogen operation and install the new turbine

German Aerospace Center (DLR) together with the University College London, University of Duisburg-Essen and Lund University will support the hydrogen turbine technology development

National Technical University of Athens will perform economic, environmental and social assessments of the concept

Arttic will support the operational project management and the project’s communication activities.

The project’s total budget is close to €15.2 million, of which €10.5 million will be contributed entirely by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 program.Officially launched on 1 May 2020, the project will last 4 years and will be split into several phases:

May 2020: Contract finalization and start of engineering development.

2021: Installation of the hydrogen production, storage and supply facility at pilot demonstration site.

2022: Installation of the gas turbine for natural gas/hydrogen mixtures and initial demonstration of advanced pilot plant concept.

2023: Pilot demonstration with up to 100 percent hydrogen for carbon-free energy production from stored excess renewable energy.

This extremely promising technology is fully in line with Siemens, Engie Solutions and Centrax’ strategy of providing its clients with zero-carbon solutions.

Siemens Gas and Power helping to increase level of decarbonization

Siemens Gas and Power is helping its customers achieve their decarbonization goals by building infrastructure for power-to-X-to-power1 and making a global contribution to cross-sector decarbonization. Siemens offers all core technologies for a long-term CO2-free energy supply, from power and heat generation, to power transmission and distribution, and efficient electrolysis for hydrogen production.

“Siemens Gas and Power wants to be the driving force behind the decarbonization of energy systems worldwide,” says Karim Amin, CEO of the Generation Division of Siemens Gas and Power. “Our goal is to make our gas turbines usable for 100 percent hydrogen. With that, our gas turbines can be the “technology of choice” for our customers to complement the intermittence of renewables and ensure a secure energy supply in the decarbonized world of the future,” Amin added.

Engie Solutions, a stakeholder committed to hydrogen

As an energy for the future, green hydrogen has a major role to play in the energy transition. For Engie Solutions, the most abundant element in the universe is vital to decarbonizing industrial processes.

Engie Solutions is certain that this energy will help speed up the transition of regions and manufacturing companies and is supporting the development of renewable hydrogen – it already has a number of projects, either in operation or forthcoming.

“With the HYFLEXPOWER project, Engie Solutions is once again demonstrating its intent to support manufacturers and regions as they seek to optimize and green their energy use. Developing renewable hydrogen for industrial purposes is a perfect example. This demonstrator is the future,” says Pierre Hardouin, CEO of Engie Solutions for Industries.

Centrax Ltd. developing Hydrogen ready solutions

Centrax sees Green Hydrogen as an important part of the path to a decarbonized energy system and welcomes the considerable investment being made by the Horizon 2020 program to assist the development of Hydrogen compatible combustion systems.

“Our goal is for our gas turbine combined heat and power systems to be ‘Hydrogen Ready’ to provide future proof power generation solutions for our Customers,” says Harry Trump, Director of Business Development for Centrax Ltd..

__________________________
1 According to the ADEME (France’s agency for environment and energy management), “Power to X” (or “P2X”) is the act of converting electricity into another energy vector. For the HYFLEXPOWER project, the “X” vector is hydrogen.

Djibouti Government approves Engie’s solar pv project in Grand Bara
May 21, 2020

The project for the construction of a photovoltaic solar power plant in Grand Bara has been validated by the Djiboutian government in the Council of Ministers. The solar power plant, which will have a capacity of 30 MWp, will be built by the French giant Engie.

Meeting in the Council of Ministers a few days ago, the government of Djibouti approved several development projects, particularly in the electricity sector. It is the case for the project to build a solar power station in Grand Bara, carried by the French giant Engie. A preliminary agreement for the development of this solar photovoltaic project was signed in June 2019.

The solar power plant will be built within the framework of a public-private partnership (PPP). Engie will thus be responsible for developing, building and operating the plant, which will have a 30 MWp capacity. The energy produced will be fed into the grid of the state-owned company Electricité de Djibouti (EDD). “This project will increase national production capacity to meet the country’s electricity demand. It is in line with our country’s sustainable and social development objectives and will help create many jobs,” the Djiboutian presidency said.

Overall, the Grand Bara photovoltaic solar project should enable the construction of a 300 MWp solar complex with a total investment of 360 million euros. The Djiboutian government has included this project in the framework of its strategy for the development of renewable energies. This policy will also make it possible to reduce its electricity imports from Djibouti, notably from its Ethiopian neighbour. Also as part of its policy, the Government of Djibouti has given its approval for the construction of the Ghoubet wind farm.

With an expected capacity of 60 MW, the project is being developed by Djibouti Wind Company, a special purpose company owned by four partners: Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), a pan-African fund dedicated to infrastructure development, based in Lagos, Nigeria; Climate Fund Managers (CFM), a climate investment fund manager Great Horn Investment Holding (GHIH), an investment fund set up for the development of Djibouti; and the Dutch Development Finance Corporation (FMO).
