thyssenkrupp nucera and Unigel have signed a Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU ) to increase the capacity of the green hydrogen plant that Unigel is developing in Bahia , Brazil , from 60 MW to 240 MW of water electrolysis . The signing ceremony was held in Belo Horizonte , during the visit of the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action , Dr . Robert Habeck . This is a key step for both companies to continue their good collaboration to accelerate the green transformation through

the development of the green hydrogen economy worldwide . Unigel ’ s facility will be the first industrial-scale green hydrogen plant in Brazil . It is planned to be delivered at the end of the year . In the first phase , the plant will have a total water electrolysis capacity of 60 MW with thyssenkrupp nucera standard electrolyzers and an initial production capacity of 10,000 tons / year of green hydrogen and 60,000 tons / year of green ammonia . The new plant will be an important stimulus for the development of the entire region .

In an effort to further advance its Additive Manufacturing capability , General Atomics Aeronautical Systems , Inc . ( GA-ASI ) has established a new Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU ) with its longtime partner Conflux Technology . The new MoU , signed this week at the AVALON 2023 Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition , is the culmination of several years of collaborative work between GA-ASI and Conflux to build a flight-qualified Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger ( FOHE ) for GA-ASI platforms . “ We continue to work closely with Conflux on the design and manufacture of FOHE for our aircraft ,” said Ken Loving , GA-ASI Regional Vice President for Indo-Pacific . “ Through this new MoU , we will

establish a clear path to production for the heat exchanger components used by multiple GA-ASI production lines .” GA-ASI is a leading developer of unmanned aircraft , and Conflux is a thermal management system solution company headquartered in Australia . Conflux is an industryleading expert , mastering Additive Manufacturing ( AM ) for heat exchanger applications . “ Our continued partnership with General Atomics is a milestone for the commercialization of additively manufactured heat exchangers within the aerospace and defence markets , carrying the significant weight and performance benefits offered by these technologies towards production ,” said Abe Masoud , Conflux Business Development Manager - North America .

Briggs & Forrester Special Projects have been awarded the mechanical and electrical services installation on the B084 / B085 Hangar Decarbonisation project at Cranfield University alongside R G Carter and CDG . The project will see two pre-WWII RAF hangars receive a major refurbishment to improve their energy efficiency and carbon footprint . Briggs & Forrester will be responsible for the full design and build works for the GBP 2.5M

electrical , mechanical , and plumbing services package to the hangars helping to transform the thermal performance and efficiency of the hangars with the aim of significantly reducing the carbon footprints of the buildings . To provide a sustainable solution , CDG designed an insulated , airtight ‘ box within a box ’ which sits inside the hangar . Services include the installation of new district heating pipework to the plate heat exchangers with associated valves ,

control , and pumps within the plantroom and a specialist Jetflo air induction heating system in the hangars . The work is being made possible by an award through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme ( PSDS ) which is funded by the Department for Business , Energy and Industrial Strategy ( BEIS ) and delivered by Salix Finance . Once the works are completed , the heating demand of the buildings will be reduced by 75 % and the carbon footprint reduced

even further when connected to the district heating newly fitted with air source heat pumps , also funded through the project .
