Scania, the renowned Swedish automotive giant, has strategically decided not to fully commit to hydrogen technology or rely exclusively on battery-powered vehicles.
Hyundai Engineering and Construction (Hyundai E&C) and Holtec International have started the initial phases of a small modular reactor (SMR) project at the Palisades site in Michigan.
In a concerted effort to pivot towards a more sustainable economy, Europe is poised to redefine its industrial landscape through the Clean Industrial Deal.
BGR Tech, under the umbrella of Prenora Holding, has introduced a 100 kW Hydrogen Purification System aimed at revolutionizing electrolysis-based purification processes.
The aviation industry remains one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions, responsible for about 2.5% of global CO2 output. Despite significant investment and research into alternative fuels and aircraft designs, progress has been sluggish, as evidenced by these persistently high emission levels. NASA, however, is attempting to change the tide with its development of a hybrid hydrogen-based engine. The Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) at NASA has recently awarded a grant to Phillip Ansell of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for the development of the Hydrogen Hybrid Power for Aviation Sustainable Systems (Hy2PASS) engine. This technology harnesses a unique…
Canada’s hydrogen market is currently facing significant headwinds, with exports projected to fall precipitously to $62 million in 2024, according to recent data from IndexBox, Inc. This represents a stark contrast to previous projections that envisaged growth within this nascent market. The hydrogen industry, which has been heralded as a cornerstone for both Canada’s green energy transition and its economic diversification, is now under intense scrutiny due to these unexpected developments. One of the primary challenges identified is the global oversupply of hydrogen, which has been exacerbated by aggressive production increases in countries like China and Australia. Both nations have…
In the field of public transportation, electric bus transit emerges as a pivotal element in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and diminishing fossil fuel dependence—a pressing necessity given the mounting urgency of climate change. Electric buses, particularly battery electric buses (BEBs) and hydrogen fuel cell buses (HFCBs), promise to reshape urban transit systems, provided the right configuration strategies are employed. A newly developed study scrutinizes the optimal configurations of these systems, evaluating both economic and environmental impacts. By developing comprehensive system configuration models, the study identifies optimal strategies for component sizing in charging and refueling stations, alongside fleet and energy management…
Iveco has delivered two hydrogen fuel cell trucks to the H2Haul project. According to data from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, the use of hydrogen in transportation could eliminate up to 560 million tons of CO2 emissions annually by 2050. This statistic underscores the sense of urgency driving companies like Iveco to innovate within the fuel cell technology space. The recent delivery to the H2Haul project is part of a collaborative initiative involving multiple countries and industries, aimed at developing and testing zero-emission vehicles across Europe. The trucks delivered to the H2Haul project are equipped with hydrogen fuel…
Bavaria is accelerating its transition from traditional diesel locomotives to battery-powered trains instead of hydrogen, aiming for a complete electrification of its rail network by 2040. Currently, approximately 50% of Bavaria’s railway network is electrified, a figure that reflects both progress and remaining challenges. The state, unsatisfied with the federal government’s pace, has committed over 80 million euros for planning further electrification, particularly targeting diesel-run lines for conversion to battery trains. Bavarian Minister of Transport Christian Bernreiter criticized the federal government’s sluggish electrification efforts, arguing that rapid action is needed. In cooperation with local governments, Bavaria is planning to lead…
