Hanwha Impact and Hanwha Power Systems have achieved a milestone by successfully operating a medium-to-large-scale gas turbine solely on 100% hydrogen fuel. This development, announced on December 20, signifies a major breakthrough in the realm of clean energy technology. Hanwha’s demonstration involved increasing the hydrogen mixing ratio in an 80 MW medium-to-large gas turbine from 60% to 100%. This goes beyond the previous achievement in April 2023 when they demonstrated 60% hydrogen blending in the same turbine—a feat recognized as a world first. The process, termed “full hydrogen combustion,” eliminates the use of LNG, positioning hydrogen as the sole fuel…

At the recent American Trucking Associations annual management conference in Austin, Texas, the trucking industry witnessed a paradigm shift with the showcase of Peterbilt’s hydrogen engine. This prototype, a DAF XF Euro-style high cab-over truck equipped with a modified Paccar MX-13 engine, is more than a glimpse into the future—it’s a major leap in sustainable trucking.

Australia-based Provaris Energy has inked a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with German energy giant Uniper. The collaboration aims to assess the feasibility of supplying green hydrogen to Germany utilizing Provaris’ groundbreaking compressed hydrogen carriers.

Rolls-Royce and easyJet tests aircraft cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump systems From the mid-2030s onward, Rolls-Royce and its partner easyJet are dedicated to leading the way in the advancement of hydrogen combustion engine technology, which will be able to power a variety of aircraft, including those in the narrowbody market category. The newest series of tests, to prove aircraft cryogenic liquid hydrogen pump systems, have commenced at Rolls-Royce’s plant at Solihull, UK. These will tackle a major engineering problem: pressurizing low-pressure liquid hydrogen that has been cooled to less than -250°C in order to be injected into an engine and burn.…
