Hydrogen Energy’s Long-Term Prospects
Despite major obstacles to the widespread use of green hydrogen, pricing estimates indicate that these obstacles may be overcome.
After obtaining new funding, the West Midlands is expected to operate the UK’s largest hydrogen bus fleet. The region will receive 124 new buses as part of a switchover funded by the Department for Transport. 24 new vehicles will be articulated tram-style buses that will operate on a new bus priority route connecting Walsall, Birmingham, and Solihull. It follows a previous £50 million investment to transform Coventry into the UK’s first all-electric bus city. The cash complements private bus industry investment over the next three years to expedite the transition away from diesel buses and toward cleaner, greener vehicles, according…
Global Energy Ventures has secured essential regulatory clearances to begin planning for the construction of a massive green hydrogen production and export facility on aboriginal territory off the coast of Darwin in the Northern Territory. GEV intends to build a 2.8 GW solar photovoltaic array, a 30km transmission line, and a green hydrogen and manufacturing facility on Melville Island, the larger of the two Tiwi Islands. GEV has continued to obtain cooperation from Munupi landowners and the Tiwi Plantation Corporation, with several approvals recently granted to allow the company to complete its submission to the EPA. Consultants will be permitted…
Aside from fuel cells, a modest but steady development is creating hydrogen combustion engines. With its work on hydrogen-fueled combustion engines, JCB is demonstrating this, while Toyota is researching the same principle with automobile engines.
Renova, which is owned by ten towns in the Gothenburg region of western Sweden, has signed a memorandum of understanding with H2X Global for the provision of five H2X commercial vehicles.
At the top of all energy agendas, hydrogen seems to have a bright future. But the small molecule still has a long way to go to fully green and see new uses for it.
KOGAS plans to construct 90 liquid hydrogen charging stations, accounting for 59.2 percent of the total.
