[SMM Flash News] Kinetic7 Promotes Hydrogen-on-Demand Technology for Decentralised Energy Supply

As of July 30, China's major consumption regions reported aluminum ingot inventory of 953,000 mt, having cumulatively destocked 512,000 mt (-35%) from the year's high of 1.465 million mt in early May. Within the week, destocking accelerated further by 53,000 mt, as expected falling below the 1 million mt mark. However, the directional divergence between warehouse withdrawals and inventory drew attention: weekly warehouse withdrawals pulled back to 127,700 mt, losing the advantage of being at a high for the same period in the past four years. The core driving force of this destocking round has shifted from "demand and warehouse withdrawal boost" in June to "supply contraction + slowdown in shipment pace": the proportion of liquid aluminum rose to 78.3% in July, with casting ingot volume down 15.1% YoY; a sharp drop in arrivals in South China pushed Foshan's premium wider by 50 yuan/mt in a single week to 115 yuan/mt; SMM believes...

An Australian green hydrogen and ammonia project has selected Trinasolar to supply integrated solar technology for its renewable energy infrastructure. The project will utilize Trinasolar's high-efficiency PV modules and energy storage solutions to power green hydrogen and ammonia production, supporting Australia's low-carbon fuel ambitions. The collaboration highlights the growing integration of solar generation with large-scale hydrogen developments as Australia advances its clean energy industry.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. will build a US$27.5 million hydrogen refuelling station in Carson, California, to support the transition of public transit fleets to zero-emission fuel cell buses. The facility will be capable of dispensing up to 25,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day, making it one of the largest hydrogen bus refuelling stations in the United States. The project is expected to support California's clean transportation goals by providing hydrogen fuel for hundreds of fuel cell buses operating across the Los Angeles region.
