In a strategic move aimed at reducing carbon emissions within the mining industry, Cummins has acquired key assets from First Mode.

Honeywell has joined forces with AM Green as they ink a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the feasibility of producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green methanol, and green hydrogen.

The Indian state of Assam is gearing up to harness the power of green hydrogen, as it unveils plans to establish a 25-megawatt (MW) green hydrogen plant—a move poised to mark a significant shift in the region’s energy landscape. With the global green hydrogen market projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.24% from 2020 to 2027, India is keen to stake its claim as a leader in this domain. The strategic positioning of Assam in the green hydrogen race raises critical questions about feasibility, sustainability, and cost-efficiency. The state faces intricate challenges, such as balancing…

The Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC) has secured €6.8 million in funding to advance its hydrogen infrastructure ambitions across Northern Europe. This financial injection underscores the European Union’s strategic focus on bolstering energy independence and sustainability, signaling a commitment to future-proofing the continent’s energy systems. The NBHC, an undertaking involving six major transmission system operators, aims to study and establish a robust hydrogen pipeline network across Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. The funding is earmarked for feasibility studies that will investigate pipeline routing, assess economic and environmental impacts, and outline safety protocols necessary to navigate this complex cross-border endeavor.…

Waaree Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Electrolyser Manufacturing Facility in Valsad, Gujarat. This event marks a significant milestone in India’s burgeoning green hydrogen sector, as the plant will initially boast a production capacity of 300 MW in its first phase. Unlike exaggerated claims often seen in corporate press releases, this initiative is a concrete step toward localizing the production of critical electrolyzers for green hydrogen generation. Expert observers note that Waaree’s venture into electrolyzer manufacturing is set against a backdrop of India’s ambitions to reduce its dependence on imports. Not only does this reflect a strategic pivot…

Hyundai Motor Company filed an intriguing patent that describes a new kind of battery technology that could significantly impact energy storage and environmental management. This patent outlines the design and operation of a metal-aqueous battery integrated with a hydrogen generation and carbon dioxide storage system. The combination offers a multifaceted approach to modern energy challenges. Anatomy of the Metal-Aqueous Battery The centerpiece of this patent is the metal-aqueous battery, which is characterized by its unique double-cell structure. Each double cell comprises two single cells, each having its own anode, cathode, separator, and cathode spacer. One novel aspect of the design…

The patent describes an innovative shut-off valve designed for use in hydrogen tank systems. This shut-off valve addresses the need for efficient control and safety in hydrogen storage, a crucial component in hydrogen-powered vehicles and energy storage solutions. Key Components of the Shut-off Valve The shut-off valve comprises several key components that contribute to its functionality. At the heart of the system is a main valve equipped with a liftable main valve piston. This piston delimits a control chamber at one end while interacting with a main valve seat at the other. A spring exerts force on the piston in…

Over the past two years, the natural hydrogen sector has witnessed an influx of hundreds of millions of dollars and significant interest from startups. However, despite this substantial investment, concrete commercial breakthroughs remain elusive. This gap between expectation and reality presents a core tension in the field, prompting critical analysis and reassessment of current methods and assumptions. Based on the serpentinization hypothesis, the predominant exploration method posits that natural hydrogen forms through the reaction of water with specific rocks in the Earth’s crust. Despite the development of supporting lab experiments and mathematical models, this theory lacks validation through the commercial…

HYVIA, a hydrogen mobility company established in June 2021, has announced the initiation of receivership proceedings, which began on December 10, 2024, at the Commercial Court of Versailles, France.

Plug Power’s CEO, Andy Marsh, emphasizes that the key to closing this gap lies in reducing the cost of electricity and scaling production.
