HITA, a deep geothermal energy company in Belgium, has selected prominent technology company Emerson as a key provider in the discovery and development of geothermal energy sources in Northern Belgium. Emerson’s SKUA-GOCAD geological and reservoir modelling software is expected to help reduce risk and select the best locations for drilling in potential sites for renewable geothermal energy projects, increasing the safety and reliability of construction and operation while enabling long-term sustainable energy production.


Climate change policies are driving the growth of geothermal energy – an industry that is forecast to grow as much as


eightfold in the European Union by 2050, according to IREA, the International Renewable Energy Agency. Emerson’s geological modelling


software will help HITA locate the most suitable sub-surfaces for drilling deep geothermal wells. “A highly accurate and realistic picture of subsurface geology is critical for the safe development of sustainable energy sources,” said Stijn Bos, chief operating officer and senior project geologist at HITA. “Emerson technologies use seismic, geologic and other data to generate detailed models.” “Geological exploration and production software … has traditionally been used in the oil and gas industry. But it is also well suited for geothermal energy, as well as carbon capture and storage,” commented Mark Bulanda, executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business.


Radio network digitisation platform


Nokia has signed a contract with 450connect, a joint venture backed by German companies from the energy and water sectors, to build its nationwide LTE450 radio network. The contract will cover the supply of radio system technology for the 450 MHz network, including the central technology, radio stations, microwave radio links for the backhaul network, and power back-up systems. Nokia will manage the supply and performance of all LTE components, including maintenance services, until 2040. In March 2021, 450connect GmbH was awarded use of the 450 MHz frequencies until 2040 by the Federal Network Agency. With


450connect’s new nationwide, secure, LTE450 radio network, operators of critical infrastructures will receive the platform they need to digitalise their infrastructure, helping to implement the energy transition to decarbonisation. The Nokia LTE450 technology is said to be ideally suited to achieve wide-area coverage and operate services such as voice and machine-to- machine communications (M2M) or Internet-of- Things applications for critical infrastructure. This industrial-grade private LTE/LTE-M solution is optimised for M2M applications and critical voice communications.


Due to the high demand for highly available


and resilient communications, both parties have agreed to a rapid implementation of the radio network. Initial end-to-end tests will take place in the field by mid-2022 to ensure performance for the rollout. Radio services will be offered in the first regions of Germany in 2023. The nationwide rollout will take place by 2025.


The Nokia solution includes geo-redundant LTE cores, RAN network, Nokia Wavence microwave radio backhaul, management solution and installation, commissioning, integration, training and support services. In addition, 20 years of lifecycle network management of the network will be provided by Nokia.


Ammonia-to-power solution for mobile operations


GenCell Energy, a specialist provider of hydrogen and ammonia powered fuel cell generators, is to formally launch its GenCell FOX


off-grid power solution for mobile operators. The unit generates power-on-demand from ammonia.


The solution can complement solar PV and wind power solutions at telecom sites, and be placed at a telecom base station in virtually any location where grid services are poor or non-existent without any need for servicing or refuelling for as long as six months. The 4.5 kW generator is a development of the 5 kW GenCell A5 and has been created specifically to provide power for operators’ radio networks. GenCell has successfully completed a series of rigorous field tests of the unit in various weather conditions with a number of operators. It will be offered to operators at a limited


number of pre-launch projects for deployment in 2022, and will be available for full commercial deployment in 2023.


Rami Reshef, CEO at GenCell, commented§; “The FOX is the first fuel cell solution to overcome the limitations of the current hydrogen infrastructure by creating hydrogen- on-demand from ammonia, the world’s second most-produced inorganic chemical. More than 200 million tons of ammonia is produced each year and distributed globally via pipelines, tankers and trucks, making it readily available and inexpensive. By creating hydrogen-on- demand from ammonia, the generator provides zero-emission fuel cell power at a lower cost than diesel generators.”
