SK Innovation E&S and Deokyang Energen will build five hybrid hydrogen refueling stations in South Korea that combine gaseous and liquefied supply, according to Hydrogen Fuel News.

The two companies launched the venture in Seoul to develop a network of hydrogen refueling stations, Hydrogen Fuel News reported.

The five initial sites were selected for their ability to serve hydrogen-powered commercial fleets, including buses and heavy-duty trucks, according to the same report.

Combining gaseous and liquefied supply at a single site is the design choice at the center of the partnership, which Hydrogen Fuel News described as intended to boost infrastructure.

ABS and JB Energy will run joint studies on port emissions reduction and on decommissioning strategies for floating wind foundations tied to the proposed Aura Sul floating offshore wind project in southern Brazil, according to Offshore Magazine.

The work covers two distinct ends of the project lifecycle. One strand addresses emissions at the port that would service construction and operations. The other examines how floating foundations would be removed once the installation reaches the end of its service life.

The Port of Rio Grande is expected to play a key role in the project, Offshore Magazine reported. Aura Sul aims to draw on Brazil's existing port infrastructure and offshore engineering capabilities rather than build a supply base from scratch.

Decommissioning planning ahead of construction is unusual for a pilot-stage development. For floating designs, the mooring systems and foundation structures determine both installation cost and removal cost, which makes the two studies commercially linked rather than separate compliance exercises.

The project remains at the proposal stage.
