Fortress Assets Solutions is behind an innovative patent focusing on producing hydrogen from liquid ammonia aboard inland vessels.

Recently, ROLLS-ROYCE filed a patent for an innovative gas turbine engine design that promises to enhance hydrogen fuel utilization, improve engine efficiency, and reduce emissions.

Sweden has announced a new tender for development consultancy services aimed at advancing the hydrogen sector, under the title “Pre-FEED NHR”.

Belgium has taken a significant step forward in bolstering its hydrogen sector with the release of a tender by VKhyLab for the construction of the National Hydrogen Test Center in Charleroi.

The Port of Newcastle’s Clean Energy Precinct (CEP) has hit a major milestone, moving forward with signed agreements for Front End Engineering Designs (FEED) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) covering vital infrastructure like electricity, water, storage, pipelines, and berth facilities.

Airbus, a leading global aircraft manufacturer, has entered into a partnership with Japan’s Toshiba to advance technologies for future hydrogen-powered aircraft. As the world moves toward sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen power is emerging as a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Hydrogen-powered aircraft have the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the aviation sector’s sustainability goals. By exploring hydrogen technology, both Airbus and Toshiba hope to make a substantial impact on reducing the environmental footprint of air travel. The partnership between Airbus and Toshiba will primarily focus on three key areas. First, they will work on developing…

EU plans for the hydrogen market are meeting obstacles due to a lack of infrastructure, say Slovak experts. Unlike the established natural gas system, hydrogen lacks storage, transport, and production facilities. The EU’s new directive aims to integrate renewable gases into the energy system by 2026, but current infrastructure is lacking. Anna Slavkovská from Nafta highlights the absence of hydrogen storage and transport capabilities. She believes current regulations modeled on the robust gas market are premature for hydrogen. The directive also requires states to develop hydrogen infrastructure, but this is seen as a chicken-and-egg problem similar to electric vehicle adoption,…

Algeria has entered into an agreement with Spain’s energy company Cepsa to work on a significant hydrogen development project.

In recent developments, Benbros Energy has opted out of the European Union’s hydrogen auction. This auction, which is part of the EU’s efforts to bolster renewable energy sources, aims to distribute significant funding to projects that can advance hydrogen as a sustainable energy alternative.

Liebherr and STRABAG have achieved a significant milestone in the construction equipment industry with their successful completion of trials for a hydrogen-powered wheel loader.
