Hyundai Motor Group’s establishment of an Energy Hydrogen Business Division marks a significant development in the burgeoning hydrogen market, signaling ambition to capitalize on the growing demand for clean energy solutions. This strategic maneuver aligns with the global push towards sustainable energy, which saw hydrogen consumption grow by over 40% according to the International Energy Agency’s 2024 report. Yet, what does this mean for the automaker and the industry at large? Establishing a dedicated business division indicates Hyundai’s commitment to not just participate but lead in the hydrogen sector. The Group appears to have recognized the underpinnings of a hydrogen…
Primary Hydrogen Corp has initiated Phase 1 of its natural hydrogen exploration program, showcasing a significant move toward alternative energy sources. According to recent data, the demand for hydrogen as a fuel source is expected to grow exponentially, driven by the energy sector’s transition away from fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency forecasts that hydrogen could meet up to 18% of the world’s energy demand by 2050. However, this depends heavily on overcoming technological and economic barriers associated with its production and distribution. Primary Hydrogen Corp’s project focuses on naturally occurring hydrogen pockets which offer a more environmentally friendly extraction…
The global quest for clean energy has pushed biomass to the forefront of efforts to produce sustainable hydrogen, an energy resource viewed as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency, hydrogen could meet up to 24% of the world’s energy needs by 2050. This growing interest highlights the potential of biomass, which, through conversion technologies, offers an environmentally friendly path to hydrogen production. One might liken the transformation of biomass into hydrogen to transforming a piece of neglected land into a thriving garden; both require careful planning, the right conditions, and the appropriate tools to…
The integration of hydrogen as a balancing mechanism particularly stands out when viewed against Texas’s staggering wind and solar capabilities. Texas is not only the top wind energy producer in the United States, with over 31 GW of installed capacity, but its solar energy sector is also rapidly expanding, aiming to meet the climbing demand in a state projected to keep growing in both population and economic activity. However, the unpredictability of wind and solar output necessitates a supplemental energy vector capable of addressing the temporal and spatial mismatches inherent in renewable energy supply. Enter hydrogen—a versatile energy carrier that…
Opening the discourse around intercontinental shipping of green hydrogen, one finds that the calculated Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) for shipments between Australia and Korea is estimated at $7.54 per kilogram of hydrogen. This represents a significant cost framework, given the constraints and potential of renewable energy transport. Central to this discussion is the role of hydrogen as an energy carrier—posing as a solution to the disparities in renewable energy availability. Underpinning these estimates is the essential architecture of the supply chain encompassing 75,000 cubic meter floating export/import terminals alongside a 50,000 cubic meter tanker. Such infrastructure investment denotes large…
Bosch has announced the suspension of its planned $200 million hydrogen fuel manufacturing facility in Anderson, raising pertinent questions about the broader implications for the hydrogen fuel industry. This decision comes amid fluctuating market dynamics and regulatory factors that have altered the landscape for hydrogen development. Notably, Bosch’s move reflects a growing trend where businesses reevaluate major infrastructure investments in light of evolving energy policies and economic considerations. Industry data indicates that while global investment in hydrogen technology continues to rise, with estimates suggesting a potential market value of over $300 billion by 2050, the path to profitability and scalability…
Lhyfe inked a four-year agreement to supply up to 140 tonnes of green hydrogen to INOCEL. This partnership is geared toward decarbonizing power generation and mobility sectors by leveraging the power of hydrogen fuel cells. Lhyfe’s decision to supply INOCEL plants in Belfort and Saint-Égrève with green hydrogen marks a critical expansion of its customer base. INOCEL’s expertise in developing high-power hydrogen fuel cells complements Lhyfe’s pioneering efforts. Notably, the reliability and efficiency of INOCEL’s test benches provide a robust platform for advancing hydrogen applications, particularly in complex energy-demanding environments. The mutual commitment to energy transition is evident from the…
The Government of India is taking significant strides towards sustainable mobility through the introduction of pilot projects focused on hydrogen-fuelled buses and trucks under the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). Set for deployment along 10 major routes including Delhi-Agra and Pune-Mumbai, these projects feature 37 vehicles—15 employing hydrogen fuel cells and 22 powered by hydrogen internal combustion engines. A compelling financial support of Rs 2.08 billion underscores the seriousness with which the Indian government is pursuing this initiative. Scheduled to become operational within 18 to 24 months, these projects aim to rigorously examine the technical, economic, and safety aspects of…
Metacon, through its subsidiary Metacon Technology AB, has strengthened its partnership with PERIC Hydrogen Technologies Co., Ltd. by securing additional manufacturing rights under a newly signed Supplementary Agreement.
