Nio is aligning with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) to adopt the Choco-Swap Electric Battery (SEB) as the standard for its battery swap stations.
According to Toyota, global hydrogen production is anticipated to surge as much as twelvefold by 2050, a figure that emphasizes the urgency for technological advancements in hydrogen fuel cells. This is a market with potential, but also notable challenges. Current limitations in infrastructure and production costs hamper large-scale adoption, necessitating critical innovations. To address these issues, Toyota’s approach includes a robust emphasis on increasing the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and reducing the cost of hydrogen production through advanced electrolysis technologies. Experts at the seminar honed in on Toyota’s commitment to collaborative efforts with different sectors, aiming to enhance…
Techint Group, led by industrialist Paolo Rocca, introduces a $25 million investment for hydrogen production facilitated by methane pyrolysis. The end goal: to pioneer “turquoise hydrogen,” a variant deemed more sustainable compared to its contemporaries. As global hydrogen production teeters at approximately 100 million tons annually, primarily sourced from emission-heavy “grey hydrogen,” this initiative embodies a paradigm shift toward greener alternatives. Tulum Energy, a start-up under Techint’s aegis, seeks to establish the viability of turquoise hydrogen, leveraging TechEnergy Ventures and Tenova’s innovative engineering prowess. Set against the backdrop of Vaca Muerta’s abundant methane, the project assumes significance for both the…
In 2026, a new regulatory landscape awaits the Netherlands as it aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) by mandating that significant industrial hydrogen consumers incorporate renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) into their operations. This legislation imposes a specific renewable integration percentage on industrial consumers exceeding a set annual hydrogen consumption threshold. Although the objective is clear, execution presents numerous hurdles, particularly stemming from infrastructural limitations, with the Dutch hydrogen grid’s full operation only expected by 2032—seven years post-legislation effect. Central to these regulations is the renewable hydrogen booking registry. Here, hydrogen produced from renewable electricity…
The recent announcement of Sungrow Hydrogen capturing the largest bid share in China’s National 100,000-ton Green Methanol Project signifies a critical juncture in the Green Hydrogen sector. As nations worldwide strive to achieve carbon neutrality, China’s initiative could position the country as a leader in sustainable fuel technology by leveraging cutting-edge hydrogen production methods. The project aligns with China’s ambitious carbon-neutral goals, scheduled for 2060, by integrating green hydrogen into industrial applications. Current projections indicate that China’s burgeoning renewable energy market, valued at approximately $156 billion, will see hydrogen assume a pivotal role within the next decade. Green hydrogen production,…
SMA Solar Technology, through its subsidiary SMA Altenso, has reached a significant milestone. The recent progression into the gigawatt realm highlights SMA’s capabilities in integrating renewables with hydrogen technologies. Central to this development is the container solution that facilitates the conversion of alternating current into direct current, enabling efficient electrolysis for hydrogen production. This advancement is poised to power Namibia’s Cleanergy Solutions project, furthering SMA’s reputation as a trailblazer in sustainable energy applications. Data from the Namibia project reveals an ambitious integration of photovoltaics, battery storage, and hydrogen production. Altenso’s strategic commitment is clearly underlined by its expansive portfolio, consisting…
The World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition, the largest global event on hydrogen projects, policy and technology, will take place in Europe’s hydrogen hub, Rotterdam from 20-22 May 2025.
Western Australia (WA) has been an outlier in the national trend of reducing reliance on gas, notably increasing its consumption since FY2020.
In Greece, a critical development unfolds as Hellenic Hydrogen AE, a joint venture between Motor Oil and DEI (Public Power Corporation), gears up for the operational launch of its green hydrogen production plant, North 1, in Amyntaio by the end of 2027.
