In the early 2000s, as the world’s gaze turned towards the promise of abundant and clean hydrogen energy, concerns echoed about the safety of handling this versatile fuel. In response, the Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology Office birthed the Hydrogen Safety Panel in 2003. Now, as this safety-centric initiative celebrates its twentieth year, led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), it stands as a testament to two decades of prioritizing safety in the hydrogen realm.
Cemex Ventures raises investment in HiiROC Following an initial investment in 2022, Cemex Ventures, the company’s corporate venture capital (CVC) and open innovation business, has raised its stake in HiiROC, the creator of Thermal Plasma Electrolysis (TPE), a novel unique technology for producing inexpensive, emission-free hydrogen. Cemex plans to use HiiROC’s technology throughout its EMEAA businesses after first injecting hydrogen into its vital cement facility in Rugby, United Kingdom. Cemex is positioned as leaders in the use of hydrogen in the cement industry because to their increasing investment in HiiROC, and they will keep searching for methods to implement hydrogen…

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…
