75 gangeren i løpet av noen få år er ikke hver dags kost. Synes ventetiden har vært lang, men det er nok verd å vente litt til.

"Synes ventetiden har vært lang, men det er nok verd å vente litt til."

Ja, veldig lang ventetid. Dog veldig godt fornøyd med utviklingen i selskapsdriften til begge to. Så føles vel verdt å vente litt til ja.

Synergier

Mitsui er allerede aksjonær i Hexagon Composites ASA og Hexagon Purus ASA, hvor sistnevnte er en av de andre større aksjonærene i Norwegian Hydrogen. Mitsui har blitt kjent med Norwegian Hydrogen gjennom sitt eierskap i Hexagon gruppen. Over tid har det utviklet seg tette bånd direkte mellom Norwegian Hydrogen og Mitsui, noe som har ført til at de nå ønsket å investere direkte i selskapet på et tidlig tidspunkt.

–  Vi er tilfredse med å kunne utvikle vårt eksisterende partnerskap med Norwegian Hydrogen ytterligere. Gjennom investeringen ønsker vi å finne flere synergier mellom Norwegian Hydrogen og Mitsuis eksisterende investeringsportefølje knyttet til hydrogen. Det vil både styrke selskapet og bidra til å etablere et stabilt hydrogenmarked i Europa, uttaler Takafumi Kasai, GM Functional Materials Division i Mitsui.

Stor milepæl for hydrogenferjene til Lofoten

(LOFOTEN): Det verdensledende skipsregisteret Lloyd’s Register godkjenner Torghatten Nords planer for hydrogenferjer over Vestfjorden. Rederiet tar dermed et viktig steg mot å starte byggingen av skipene i et prosjekt som får global oppmerksomhet.

– Vi er svært tilfredse med godkjenningen og vi er stolte av å arbeide sammen med de fremste ekspertene på hydrogen som drivstoff på skip. Å utvikle hydrogenferjer på en så lang og værhard strekning er et klimaprosjekt i ypperste verdensklasse med stor betydning for hele maritim sektor og ikke minst Bodø og Lofoten, sier administrerende direktør i Torghatten Nord, Torkild Torkildsen. 

Under et arrangement på Havet i Bodø fredag morgen annonserte Lloyds skipsregister at de planlagte hydrogenfergene har oppnådd en såkalt prinsippgodkjenning – Approval in Principle (AiP). Det verdensledende skipsregisteret er valgt som klasseselskap på grunn av erfaring og kompetanse i prosjekter som bruker hydrogendrevne fartøy og nye drivstoffløsninger

Hydrogenferjene skal etter planen settes i drift fra høsten 2025. Til sammen vil de bidra til å kutte 26.500 tonn Co2 hvert år.     
– Vi er glade for å gi Torghatten Nord en prinsipiell godkjenning basert på en omfattende risikoanalyse av konsept og teknologi. Lloyd’s Register har vært til stede i Norge i 150 år, og vi ser på dette som et svært viktig prosjekt som vil drive frem bruken av hydrogen som et trygt og bærekraftig drivstoff, sier Markus Büsig som er sjef for Lloyds skipsregister i Nord-Europa.

Norwegian Ship Design i Førde er i full gang med design av fartøyene, og legger vekt på at fremtidens hydrogendrevne skip vil se annerledes ut.

– Båtene som skal utvikles, bygges og driftes har ikke sin make andre steder i verden. Vi må tenke nytt og finne helt nye løsninger sammenlignet med det som vi i dag kjenner som vanlige skip. Det er gjort en formidabel jobb fra både Lloyds Register og Torghatten Nords side for å få på plass denne godkjenningen. Vi har evaluert en rekke ulike løsninger for hydrogensystemet ombord. og har kommet frem til et unikt og sikkert konsept som hensyntar hydrogenets egenskaper, sier Gjermund Johannessen, daglig leder i Norwegian Ship Design.

By Obafemee80

A fleet of 14 trains powered entirely by hydrogen fuel launched in Germany’s Lower Saxony state on Wednesday.

Replaces diesel-powered trains on a track connecting Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervoerde, and Buxtehude.

Unlike the diesel-powered trains it is replacing, the hydrogen-powered trains emits just steam and evaporated water.

Fleet of hydrogen-powered trains were provided by French industrial giant Alstom to the German state of Lower Saxony.
...
“We are very proud to put this technology into operation together with our strong partners as a world premiere,” Alstom CEO, Henri Poupart-Lafarge, said in a statement on Wednesday.

PENN VALLEY, PA, US, August 30, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new $1 billion clean heavy duty vehicle program managed by the Environmental Protection Agency will cover 100% of the incremental costs for a company owner to buy a zero-emissions hydrogen-powered truck, over and above the cost for the same heavy-duty vehicle powered by traditional diesel fuel.
...
Roughly 350,000 heavy duty trucks are sold in North America annually, with 97% diesel-powered, Lyon said.

But given the momentum government and companies are generating, she predicts within 20 years 50% of heavy-duty trucks will run on alternative fuels including battery electric, fuel cell hydrogen, hybrid electric, renewable natural gas and renewable diesel.

Exclusive: "The Hexagon Group is our absolute dream partner" - Cryoshelter boss in a DER AKTIONÄR interview

Attentive AKTIONÄR readers know Hexagon Composites, the Norwegian specialist in high-pressure vessels and systems for various gases. This year the group invested in the Austrian tank specialist Cryoshelter. DER AKTIONÄR took this as an opportunity to talk to the company's director, Matthias Rebernik, about the prospects and technology.
...
What scale are you tracking with the Hexagon group?

The Hexagon Group is our absolute dream partner. The Norwegians  are positioned globally and therefore have ideal access to customers. Our pilot production in Austria is expanded to series production. There are quantity scenarios for which we cannot yet provide any information  . We want to start series production in 2024.
...
Why is the Hexagon Group your partner of choice and not the American market leader Chart Industries?

The Hexagon Group covers the entire field of clean drives,  has a global network and is in contact with fleet operators. I think  the cryo and high pressure storage is a good addition. The company can now offer the right storage technology for every need. The company's attitude to how things are done is terrific.

Washington State Ferries to outline its hybrid electric journey at FERRIES 2022

Written by Heather Ervin
...
TOUR THE SEA CHANGE

SWITCH Maritime’s landmark Sea Change hydrogen-powered ferry project got a lot of attention at Marine Log’s FERRIES 2021 held last November along the New York Harbor. This year, up to 75 attendees have the chance to ride on it. Guests are encouraged to register soon, as the tour will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Launched in August 2021 at All American Marine, the Sea Change is a 70-foot catamaran ferry designed by Incat Crowther, equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system from Zero Emissions Industries (ZEI), which includes 360 kW of fuel cells from Cummins and 242 kg of hydrogen storage tanks from Hexagon Purus, and a 600 kW electric propulsion system from BAE Systems that includes 100 kWh of lithium-ion battery storage from XALT. The Hornblower Group led the construction management.

The 75-passenger ferry receives gaseous hydrogen into its 242 kg tanks on the upper deck. It uses that hydrogen in fuel cells producing electricity to power electric motors for distances up to 300 nautical miles, and speeds up to 20 knots—similar capabilities to diesel-powered vessels—with the added benefits of zero exhaust smoke or other emissions and very little vibration and noise.

The Sea Change project is managed and financed by SWITCH Maritime, an impact investment firm building the first fleet of exclusively zero-carbon maritime vessels for adoption by existing ship owners and operators. Sea Change was the first vessel in the larger zero-carbon ferry fleet that SWITCH planned to construct in 2022, in partnership with municipalities and shipowners aiming to transition to carbon-free vessels. In making the transition, they were able to leverage government grant funds related to transportation decarbonization activities targeted by the landmark U.S. infrastructure bill.

Could This Be the Next Hyundai NEXO?

...
BMW is trying to develop a flat hydrogen tank with TesTneT Engineering GmbH and Hexagon Purus. If they pull it off, such a hydrogen tank could fit where electric vehicles have their battery packs. In other words, automakers could easily replace some battery modules with a hydrogen tank or even the entire battery pack. If Hyundai has anything similar to offer on the next-generation NEXO, it may use the E-GMP or even the IMA on the NEXO instead of developing a platform exclusively for its FCEVs. Whatever prevails in the long run, the Korean automaker will be prepared for it.

NY KJØPSANBEFALING:
Etter at aksjen er ned 30 prosent på en drøy måned ble fristelsen for stor for ABG-analytiker Haakon Amundsen. Han bare måtte analysere aksjen, og anbefale den til kundene. (kilde = Finansavisen)

Når man følger nøye med på dette, blir man ganske forundret over hvor liten interesse det er for Hexagon Group og alt som foregår i selskapene. Her hjemme vel og merke.

Det bekymrer egentlig ikke så veldig når man sitter langsiktig i Purus og Composites aksjene, for da er man mer opptatt av fremtidsutsiktene innen selskapenes eksplosivt voksende forretningsområder, og interessen fra selskapene Hexagon Group, som globalt markedsledende, har på partner-/kundelistene sine. Deutsche Bahn, Bosch og Linde som er nevnt i denne artikkelen, og en mengde andre globale 'storfisker'.

- Etterspørselen er enorm, er budskapet her fra CEO i 100% Hexagon Purus eide Wystrach, Wolfgang Wolter.

Og som man også kan lese, er da også kraftig ekspansjon nå underveis, i form av stor utvidelse av Wystrachs produksjonskapasitet.


Ambitious plans at Wystrach : Weeze gets a hydrogen filling station

September 21, 2022 at 5:45 p.m. 3 minutes

Weeze near Wystrach will soon be built and delivered almost 20 petrol stations with the new technology annually. Managing Director Wolfgang Wolter speaks of "huge demand". You can also refuel on site.

The network of those interested in hydrogen is growing in the district of Kleve, clearly. This was also shown by the meeting in Weeze near Wystrach, recently part of Hexagon Purus. The business development agency Kleve, who has repeatedly invited to events of this kind in the past few months, had asked Wystrach Managing Director Wolfgang Wolter to present a hydrogen petrol station. A technological eye-catcher, of which the market leader Wystrach delivered eight pieces this year. The capacities here too: From 2024, almost 20 a year should be launched, in addition to the other hydrogen systems and vehicles from Weeze. "The inquiries are immensely," says Managing Director Wolter in front of the approximately 30 guests, all of whom can be described as important multipliers. They looked at two facilities that will soon be prepared for the trip to Poland. Wystrach made 38 million euros in sales last year, 56 million it should be 22 by the end of the year. The number of employees is still over 220. A further 50 are likely to be added promptly, according to the managing director.

Today part of Norwegian company History

The story of Wystrach started on a garden fence. Joachim Wystrach started talking to his neighbor in 1988, who worked in the gas industry. So the first order in this industry came about. After that, the company specialized as an expert in hydrogen. Wystrach is a system supplier and innovation leader for saving for hydrogen and other gases. Takeover The family business Wystrach with its 200 employees is now part of Hexagon Purus, a listed Norwegian company.

In the next few weeks, he says, he will experience a further laying of the foundation stone in a central point of the Weez industrial area. It's about a large expansion. For this purpose, a 20,000 square meter property is to be used directly on the B 9, which belongs to the company. Wystrach wants to build further production and office buildings here. Another building as an office and training center, two production and assembly halls, a parking deck for the employees and a hydrogen filling station are currently planned for operational development. This petrol station should also be used publicly. A statement to which the first applause present donated. And all of which should have been pleased, who are looking for their own fleets for the future of mobility. According to the experts, you see 300 kilometers of range as feasible for a coach. The trucks are likely to reach up to 600 kilometers of radius due to higher supply loading options.

The Deutsche Bahn, Bosch and Linde company, like many others, are among the large companies that are interested in the hydrogen segment. They belong to the Technology-oriented customer base of the Weezer. Those present from the regional hydrogen network should have once again become clear at this event: something is moving in Weeze that the world of technology should look at with interest. (RP/Zel)

Hexagon Ragasco, the world’s leading manufacturer of composite LPG cylinders, awarded new Environmental Product Declaration

September 27, 2022 03:00 ET | Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

Hexagon Ragasco, a Hexagon company and world leading manufacturer of LPG composite cylinders – was awarded a new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) from EPD-Norway covering the entire lifetime of their cylinders from cradle to grave.

Hexagon Ragasco’s cylinders are produced at the company’s fully automated manufacturing plant in Raufoss, Norway. During the past 22 years, Hexagon Ragasco has sold over 20 million cylinders to close to 100 countries.

Value of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

An EPD discloses a product’s life cycle environmental impact and helps users to identify sustainable products. Both the underlying Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the EPD are based upon international standards. Furthermore, it contains quantified information that enables comparison between products from the same product category and declares its environmental footprint towards predetermined environmental factors; one being the product’s carbon footprint.

Hexagon Ragasco’s first EPD covered the product stage, from cradle-to-gate, and is valid for all our markets / customers in their markets.*

The new EPD covers the entire product’s lifetime from cradle-to-grave: product, use and end-of-life stages. The data was gathered in cooperation with Linde Gas AS, Norway’s largest Marketer of bottled LPG. The new EPD has a baseline of two cylinder fillings per year and a 30-year product lifetime.

Setting a new industry standard

“Our focus is on reducing our carbon footprint and on delivering transparent and science-based information that can also help our customers reduce their own carbon footprint.” says Margrethe Skattum, Head of Research & Sustainability, Hexagon Ragasco. “We continue leading the way among composite LPG cylinder manufacturers in terms of transparency in sustainability reporting. Our work with LCA is part of our business strategy and is in line with the EU Taxonomy”.

EPD Certification process

Asplan Viak, a leading Norwegian consultancy company specialized in a.o. environmental impact analysis and sustainability, guided Hexagon Ragasco through this and the previous EPD certification process** for the entire cylinder lifetime which included: Extraction and production of raw materials, transport of raw materials to the manufacturing plant, manufacturing of cylinders and transport of finished cylinders to the port of Oslo, Norway; preparation and distribution of packaging in use, retesting and maintenance of cylinders, end-of-life stage.

About the market

The industrial and mobility sectors are accountable for close to 50% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in industrial processes and mobility is critical to reduce carbon emissions.

As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition, continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have released hydrogen roadmaps, over USD 70 billion in government funding is committed to hydrogen investments, more than 500 large-scale hydrogen projects have been announced by the industry to date and green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by 2050.

Timing

Delivery of the hydrogen systems is scheduled from Q4 2022 to Q4 2023.

Hexagon Agility som står for ca. 85% for omsetningen til Hexagon Composites, børsmelder i dag mandag 17.oktober en ny kontrakt til en verdi av ca. 288 millioner NOK med en 'major heavy-duty fleet in North America'.

Hvis man leser gjennom denne børsmeldingen, bør det være heller enkelt å forstå at Hexagon Group (Hexagon Composites og Hexagon Purus) som begge er meget vel etablert og 'as we speak' ekspanderer kraftig på kontinentet, nå går en stor fremtid i møte i Nord-Amerika som følge av USAs føderale myndigheters politiske føringer og finasielle stimuli.

For de som ikke måtte vite det, kjører f.eks. ca. 80% av dagens gassdrevne mellom- og tungtransportkjøretøy i Nord-Amerika rundt med tanker og tilhørende drivstoffsystemer installert og levert av Hexagon Agility. Og det som står i denne børsmeldingen, er vel nærmest et svart på hvitt statement om at det kan forventes meget sterk vekst i årevis fremover innen dette forretningssegmentet i Nord-Amerika. Så Hexagon Agilitys nåværende markedsandel innen segmentet på 80% (!!!), gjør man nok lurt i å bite seg merke i.


Hexagon Agility receives orders from major heavy-duty fleet in North America

October 17, 2022 01:00 ET | Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

Hexagon Agility, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites, has received orders from a major heavy-duty fleet in North America for renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems. The orders represent an estimated value of USD 27.1 million (approx. NOK 288 million).

“We commend our customer for its ongoing commitment to further its emission reduction targets through the use of renewable natural gas,” said Seung Baik, President of Hexagon Agility. “In 2021, 64% of all on-road fuel used in the United States for natural gas vehicles was RNG, delivering carbon negative results nationwide. With the recent USD 0.50 per gallon federal Alternative Fuel Tax Credit extension, our government has affirmed its commitment to supporting RNG for years to come.”

About the market

RNG results in the greatest reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of any clean energy solution available today in the transport sector. In addition, RNG is supported by vast infrastructure in North America, allowing for immediate deployment of this cost effective and commercially available technology. Research shows that RNG derived from agricultural waste can offer more than 200% improvement in well-to-wheel emission reductions compared to diesel, and is the only carbon-negative fuel available.

In the U.S., the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August aims to bring down costs and boost energy supply, cutting inflation and substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Of the total USD 739 billion package, USD 369 billion is earmarked for “Energy Security and Climate Change” which would put the U.S. on a path to a roughly 40% emissions reduction by 2030. Tens of billions of dollars will go toward supporting renewable energy development, including tax credits and grants for clean fuels and clean commercial vehicles, including heavy-duty vehicles such as transit buses and garbage trucks.

Timing

Deliveries of the fuel systems are scheduled to start Q1 2023.

BP to Buy Archaea Energy. The Renewable Natural Gas Stock Is Soaring.

Published: Oct. 17, 2022 at 9:14 a.m. ET
By Angela Palumbo

Archaea Energy shares soared Monday after announcing it would be acquired by British oil giant BP for $4.1 billion.

BP (ticker: BP) will pay $3.3 billion in cash, or $26 per share, for renewable natural gas company Archaea (LFG), as well as around $800 million for the company’s debt, according to a news release. That’s a 38% premium to Archaea’s volume weighted average share price for the 30 days ending October 14, the companies said.

The deal is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, and both companies hope the deal will close by the end of this year.

Upon completion of the transaction, Archaea will operate as a subsidiary within BP, according to a joint news release.

“This deal accelerates our ability to deliver cleaner energy, generate significant earnings in a fast-growing sector and help reduce emissions. This could help bp take a significant stride toward our net zero ambition,” Dave Lawler, chairman and president of BP America, said in the news release.

Shares of Archaea Energy surged 52% in premarket trading Monday to $25.73. BP’s American depositary receipts were also 1% higher in the premarket session Monday.

Archaea went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, in Sept. 2021. Coming into Monday trading, the stock had fallen 7.7% in 2022 and 5.3% in the last 12 months.

Hexagon Digital Wave har signert en treårig avtale med Certarus Ltd. (Certarus), den ledende leverandøren av nøkkelferdige virtuelle rørledningsløsninger i Nord-Amerika, verdt ca. 21 millioner NOK. Serviceavtalen innebærer at Hexagon Digital Wave skal gjennomføre nødvendige kontroller med henblikk på rekvalifisering av Certaurus' Type-4 sylindere for gasstransport (CNG og RNG).

Hexagon Digital Wave er Hexagon Composites' nyeste divisjon, og CEO Engeset og CFO Bandele rapporterte under Q2 2022 presentasjonen i august at divisjonen allerede genererer overskudd. Så denne avtalen med Nord-Amerikas ledende aktør innen sitt forretningsområde, er selvfølgelig veldig godt nytt.

Fremstår som en ganske så imponerende teknologisk løsning Hexagon Digital Waves MAE (Modal Acoustic Emission) teknologi.


Hexagon Digital Wave signs long term agreement with Certarus using Modal Acoustic Emission technology to requalify Type-4 cylinders

October 18, 2022 03:00 ET | Source: Hexagon Composites ASA

18 October 2022: Hexagon Digital Wave has signed a long-term agreement with Certarus Ltd. (Certarus), the leading provider of turnkey virtual pipeline solutions in North America. Hexagon Digital Wave will perform in situ Modal Acoustic Emission (MAE) requalification of Type-4 cylinders used for transportation of compressed natural and renewable natural gas (CNG/RNG). MAE enables the requalification of Type-4 cylinders without removal from the trailer, resulting in reduced downtime and operator overhead, all while providing the most effective assessment of composite structural integrity available. The long-term agreement has a 3-year term and estimated value of USD 2 million ( approx. NOK 21 million).

Driving Energy Transformation

“This agreement confirms that the future of MAE in the CNG and RNG industry remains strong. It’s also a testament to Certarus’s continued commitment to safety by leveraging best available technology” says Melissa Holler, President of Hexagon Digital Wave. “We look forward to supporting Certarus with requalifications of Type-4 cylinders and are pleased to be working with such an industry leader to further this adoption in the years to come.”

“Hexagon has been instrumental to the growth of Certarus and we look forward to continuing our relationship through this new agreement. MAE will ensure that our equipment remains safe and reliable while reducing the downtime and expense typically associated with requalification. We also believe that MAE will support current data suggesting that the useful life of our assets extends beyond initial industry expectations,” said Curtis Philippon, President and CEO of Certarus.

About the market

MAE uses advanced electronics and sensors that capture broadband waveforms to identify whether structural integrity deficiencies are present in Composite Overwrappped Pressure Vessels (COPVs).  The use of MAE is a requalification method adopted by the US Department of Transportation (US/DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and Transport Canada for the five (5) year requalification requirement.  Hexagon Digital Wave performs requalification of COPVs under its US DOT special permit 20396. By performing inspections in situ, the need to vent trailer contents to the atmosphere is eliminated, enabling our customers to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and meet their sustainability goals.

A significant increase in customer demand for compressed gas transport is driving module owners to seek safe, yet time efficient methods of cylinder requalification. Hexagon Digital Wave’s MAE services meet these requirements, and when leveraged, alleviate pain points for customers and module suppliers alike.

Timing

Requalification is set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.

De tre foregående børsdager har bydd på samme antall flotte, børsmeldte kontrakter til Hexagon Group, tilsammen verdt mer enn 400 millioner NOK. To til Hexagon Composites, verdt tilsammen ca. 309 milloner NOK, og en til Hexagon Purus verdt minimum ca. 100 millioner NOK. Hertil er vi vitner til gedigne nyheter fra makroøkonomien som med all ønskelig tydelighet demonstrerer at klodens giganter innen energiproduksjon nå i full fart er på vei inn i biometan/RNG/renewable gas produksjon og gjør svære investeringer.

Mandag fikk vi nyheten om at BP kjøper biometan/RNG/renewable natural gas selskapet Archaea Energy for US$ 4.1 milliarder (se innlegg på denne tråden 17.10.2022 kl 15:45)

I dag får vi så vite at Shell står midt oppi en intens budkamp med sikte på å kjøpe det danske biometan/RNG/renewable natural gas selskapet Nature Energy. Pris anslått til ca. US$ 2 milliarder.

Klodens giganter innen energiproduksjon har altså lest skriften på veggen og skjønt hvilken vei man nå må følge inn i fremtiden hvis man fortsett ønsker å være relevant.

Så utviklingen nå er, mildt sagt, lovende for Hexagon Group og fremtidsutsiktene synes svært lyse! Minner i den forbindelse om hva CEO Engeset sa om Hexagon Composites' fremtidsutsikter i forbindelse med Q2 2022 presentasjonen i august (se trådstart for mer):

"Looking ahead, we believe that the US Inflation Reduction Act and the European Commission’s REPower EU, as well as similar programs in other major economies, will drive Hexagon’s total addressable market to new levels"

Shell advances to next round of bidding for Danish biogas maker Nature Energy -sources

By Reuters  •  Updated: 19/10/2022 - 11:15

By Ron Bousso and Isla Binnie

LONDON – Shell is among a number of companies joining a second bidding round to acquire Danish biogas producer Nature Energy, three sources familiar with the matter said, as energy firms race to boost low-carbon businesses.

The sale is due to close by the end of this year and could value Nature Energy at around $2 billion, the sources said.

It comes amid growing interest in biogas, which is produced from agricultural and other biological waste and could replace some of the fossil fuels that keep the world’s major economies running.

BP on Monday agreed to buy U.S.-based renewable natural gas producer Archaea Energy Inc for about $4.1 billion. It aims to grow its production five-fold by 2030.

Hvis batterier fullt og helt vinner over hydrogen når det kommer til transportmidler, er det allikevel et gigantmarked for hydrogen?

Ja, helt klart et gigantmarked for (grønt) hydrogen ex. transportsektoren.

For ordens skyld: Hexagon Purus utvikler, designer og leverer også batterliløsninger til transportsektoren. Jamnfør f.eks. denne avtalen med 100% Toyota-eide, USA-baserte Hino Motors, verdt ca. 10.3 milliarder NOK, gitt realtime USD/NOK 10.316

Videre angående hydrogen anvendt som energibærer innen transportsektoren. Dagens avtale dreier seg bl.a. om distribusjon av hydrogen til transportsektoren. En god del hydrogenbusser (mange av disse med hydrogentanker/type-4 sylindere og drivstoffsystemer levert av Hexagon Purus) kjører f.eks. allerede i europeiske storbyer og i Nord-Amerika.

Utelukker personlig allerede nå at batteridrevet "tar hele kaka" innen transportsektoren. Batteri er i stor grad uegnet innen sektorer som maritimt, luftfart, jernbane, gruvemaskineri, anleggsmaskineri. Tror også på mye hydrogen innen tyngste/lang rekkevidde tungtransport. Vil på sikt ikke utelukke hydrogen innen noen sektor innen transport. Jmfr. f.eks. det pågående Hexagon Purus prosjektet for utvikling av flate hydrogentanker for personbiler i samarbeid med BMW, Bosch og TesTneT Engineering GmbH. Meget spennende det!

For den som ikke måtte vite det, er Hexagon Group vel etablert i USA og utvider for tiden produksjonskapasiteten på flere lokasjoner på det nord-amerikanske kontinentet, i Europa og Kina.

Morten Holum, CEO, of Hexagon Purus, a provider of hydrogen fuel and distributions systems, pointed out that in addition to the $7 billion set aside to create hydrogen hubs, the nascent zero-emission industry is also getting a big boost from the largest U.S. climate and tax bill to date – the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed into law in August.

“It aims to reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030, and reach net zero carbon emissions in the U.S. by 2050,” Holum explained. “It unlocks $370 billion of funding for clean energy and domestic energy production and includes a hydrogen production tax credit of up to $3.0/kg.”

Hexagon Agility receives order from Super Natural Gas Ltd for Mobile Pipeline® modules to meet customer demand for natural gas

2.11.2022 08:30 • GlobeNewswire • 

2 November 2022: Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites, received a new order from Super Natural Gas Ltd, wholly owned by Supergas Energy and a leading full-service provider of compressed natural gas (CNG) in Israel, to deliver Mobile Pipeline modules to transport clean natural gas to Supergas customers.

This order has an estimated value of EUR 4.8 million (approx. NOK 48 million).

Delivering safe and innovative solutions

“Today, our fleet is 100% comprised of X-STORE® modules by Hexagon Agility because of their performance and reliability. X-STORE modules have allowed us to become the market leader in mobile gas distribution, serving our industrial customers and also providing mobile fueling for transportation,” said Chen Melamed, CEO of Supergas Energy. “We are making significant investments to become a leading multi-disciplinary energy supplier and Hexagon Agility is an important partner in this strategic endeavor.”

Hexagon Agility has the most comprehensive Mobile Pipeline portfolio in the industry. Along with the TITAN® products sold around the world, X-STORE is designed specifically to meet UN standards employed in Europe and other ADR countries like Israel.

“Supergas has been a pioneer in mobile gas distribution and today they manage one of the most efficient Mobile Pipeline operations in the world,” says Seung Baik, President of Hexagon Agility.  “With current energy challenges and Israel’s strategic position to help address those challenges, we are proud of the work we are doing together and grateful for their continued business.”

The discovery of the Leviathon and Tamar gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel present the opportunity for the nation state to become energy independent. Mobile Pipeline is enabling energy based industries to adopt natural gas to reduce energy costs while addressing sustainability goals. Additionally, the transportation sector continues to adopt natural gas vehicles, with many of them currently fueled by Mobile Pipeline rather than traditional fuel stations due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure. Israel’s gas reserves easily exceed the country’s energy consumption, position it to become net exporter of gas to Europe and the Middle East.

About the market

Mobile Pipeline is vital to driving energy transformation away from petroleum fuels to clean and renewable natural gas. Companies like Supergas are leaders in the industry, enabling customers without pipeline access to adopt natural gas and meet their environmental goals.

Natural gas is today’s low carbon, cost effective alternative energy. Renewable natural gas (RNG) is pipeline quality gas fully compatible with today’s infrastructure and Mobile Pipeline equipment. Because RNG is the only carbon negative energy source, it is being rapidly adopted to drive decarbonization of industrial and vehicle fleet operations.

With more than 1,800 Mobile Pipeline modules now deployed around the world, Hexagon Agility continues to set the standard for safety, reliability, and performance. 

Timing

The modules are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2023.

PS) Angående første avsnitt i forrige innlegg. La inn feil link til webcast fra Hexagon Purus's Q3 2022 presentasjon i går. Innlegget er så langt at det kun var mulig å fjerne den feile linken, men ikke mulig å legge inn en ny og riktig. Så her er den. Bør som sagt absolutt sees. Enjoy.

En god kjøpsdag i HEX dette. Fremtiden lysere enn noen gang. Kostnadene straks under kontroll og sterkt økende ordrebok. Fremtiden er grønn og fremtiden blir HEX.

Tenker ikke på salg her under kr. 50. Dette er den eneste grønne aksjen jeg ser som vettug og kan regne hjem.

Kunne ikke vært mer enig Liso. Eventuell action her blir på kjøpsknappen på røde dager når fristelsen måtte bli for stor, veid opp mot makroøkonomisk uro og ustabilitet. Annet enn det sistnevnte bekymrer selvfølgelig ikke på disse allerede utbombede aksjekursene, tatt i betraktning utsiktene til kjempevekst vi nå står overfor her, i årevis fremover.

Og 42% omsetningsvekst YOY er selvfølgelig veldig bra levert! Mer enn godkjent.

De pressede marginene pga av ekstrem inflasjon og de etterhvert veldig så velkjente og gjenstridige problemene i forsyningskjedene, er selvsagt ikke noe man jubler over. Men Hexagon Group er jo på ingen måte alene i markedet om å bli eksponert for disse problemene, for å si det forsiktig. Videre er skvisen vis a vis guidede marginer ved årets begynnelse ingen nyhet. Tvert imot har dette for lengst blitt gjort vel kjent av selskapets ledelse ettersom risikoen ble påpekt allerede under Q2 2022 i juli og så klart og tydelig kommunisert til markedet i en melding sendt ut allerede 14.oktober:

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/ReleaseNg/401401323

I mine øyne er 'bottom line' her at ledelsen i dag kommuniserte til markedet at man forventer FY2022 omsetning på 3.9 milliarder NOK. Med andre ord i øvre skranke av intervallet for omsetning man guidet til markedet ved årets begynnelse (3.7 - 3.9 milliarder NOK).

Anbefaler aldri andre noe som helst når det gjelder hva man bør gjøre med pengene sine. Men personlig er jeg mer enn komfortabel med mine langsiktige investeringer i Hexagon Group etter å ha sett webcastene fra Q3 2022 presentasjonen i dag (Composites) og i forgårs (Purus). Utviklingen i Purus fremstår som ekstremt bullish, i mine øyne, samtidig som Composites aksjen er helt ekstremt lavt priset/'feilpriset', gitt den store eierandelen på 73.29% av aksjene i Purus (sagt med andre ord eier 1 Hexagon Composites aksje 0.94 Hexagon Purus aksje).

Rett og slett helt gedigen stormat for Hexagon Composites dette!

RNG revolusjonen. USA leder an i stor stil. Her fra Republic Service om aggressivt, storstilt JV samarbeid med Archaea Energy (nylig kjøpt av BP for 40 milliarder NOK++!) *. 7 - 8 nye prosjekter, bare i regi dette JV'et, skal være oppe å gå, pr. år. Totalt 40 prosjekter i 19 stater! Ikke lenge siden det aller meste i altoverveiende grad foregikk i California... Så at en revolusjon nå pågår med stor styrke... helt utvilsomt. Og at energigiganter som BP og Chevron allerede er tungt inne, sier vel veldig, veldig mye, ja det aller meste om hvor veien går videre.


Republic Services’ Sustainability Leader Talks RNG Growth Engine

Velda Addison

Wed, November 16, 2022 at 5:05 AM·6 min read

HOUSTON—Landfills can be hotspots for methane emissions, but waste management and recycling companies like Republic Services are converting that methane into renewable natural gas (RNG).

The Phoenix-headquartered company is working with Archaea Energy, the RNG producer that is being acquired by BP in a $4.1 billion deal, to develop 40 RNG projects in 19 states.

“We were looking for speed to market and the JV route was all about speed to market,” Pete Keller, vice president of recycling and sustainability for Republic Services, said describing the company’s relationship with Archaea. “When we think about a portfolio now of 40 projects with an intent to bring them all online by the end of 2027, that’s going to be a significant amount of new RNG available for the marketplace.”

Together, the projects are expected to generate more than 12.5 MMBtu of RNG annually. Aiming to complete about eight of those projects a year, permitting, engineering and equipment procurement are underway as developers continue lining up construction crews.

For å sette det litt på spissen, er det nesten så man blir rørt av å lese denne Forbes skribenten med topp faglig innsikt redegjøre om den unike, teknologiske 'state of the art' produktporteføljen Hexagon Purus tilbyr markedet/OEMs innen transportsektoren. Føles ikke som spesielt dristig å tippe at det etterhvert kommer flere kontrakter med OEMs om leveranser til serieproduksjon, som suksessivt bare kommer til å bli større og større.

chevron to acquire full ownership of beyond6 CNG fueling network

SAN RAMON, Calif./HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2022 – Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), announced today it signed a definitive agreement to acquire full ownership of Beyond6, LLC (B6) and its network of 55 compressed natural gas (CNG) stations across the United States from Chevron’s current B6 co-owners, a subsidiary of Mercuria Energy Trading (Mercuria) and B6 CEO Andrew West.

Chevron is complementing the strength of its traditional products business with new offerings that help customers support a lower carbon future, and renewable natural gas is an essential part of its portfolio of solutions. Through collaborations with Brightmark LLC and California Bioenergy LLC, Chevron is developing projects across the United States designed to convert fugitive methane emissions from dairies to a beneficial use as renewable natural gas, which can be considered carbon negative on a lifecycle basis under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. With this acquisition, Chevron can market the RNG it either produces or procures through a nationwide network of CNG locations.

"Chevron has seen strong demand for our RNG-to-CNG fuel offering from new and existing customers," said Andy Walz, Chevron's president of Americas Products. "Because of its carbon negative attribute and the ability of fleet operators to efficiently adapt vehicles to run on CNG, renewable natural gas can be a lower carbon solution for fleets seeking to reduce their lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions."

Mercuria and Chevron will enter into a long-term supply relationship to deliver renewable natural gas to Chevron as part of the transaction.

"B6 represents a best-in-class operator in the build-out of a renewable natural gas network, and Mercuria has been excited to help the company grow from a stand-alone business to one that can help drive growth under Chevron," said Brian A. Falik, Mercuria's chief investment officer. "The partnership with Chevron has been a great success, and we look forward to helping them supply renewable fueling solutions to their customers."

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
