MIT engineers are on the verge of a clean energy breakthrough that could revolutionize hydrogen production and help eliminate the dependence on fossil fuels.

Japan, a pioneer in formulating a national hydrogen strategy in 2017, is now grappling with the harsh realities of hydrogen adoption, particularly in the taxi industry.

Siemens Energy, as part of the HYFLEXPOWER consortium, has achieved a world-first by successfully operating an industrial gas turbine with 100% renewable hydrogen. This milestone, accomplished at the Smurfit Kappa site in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France, brings to light a promising outlook for carbon-neutral power generation and the ambitious goal of decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.

Charbone Hydrogen Corporation has taken a momentous step. The company, which is fast emerging as a key player in hydrogen production, has executed a “Design and Build” construction agreement with one of Quebec’s largest construction giants, EBC. This strategic agreement, dated October 13, 2023, is poised to revolutionize the hydrogen landscape.

The Appalachian region in the United States is poised for a major transformation, thanks to a significant federal investment of nearly $1 billion from the taxpayer’s purse.

In the heart of the Netherlands, a groundbreaking collaborative effort is underway to harness the power of green hydrogen in the nation’s mission to combat climate change. The journey towards a sustainable, green future has found a reliable ally in “HyTROS,” short for “Hydrogen Transport, Offshore, and Storage.” This ambitious initiative, part of the Nationaal Groeifonds (National Growth Fund), signifies the Netherlands’ determined leap from a fossil-based society to an eco-friendly era.

Texas A&M University scientists are exploring a more efficient path for green hydrogen production, tapping into the potential of electrocatalysts to revolutionize the hydrogen evolution reaction.

In a fierce national competition to secure a slice of $7 billion in grant funding to advance “green” hydrogen projects, the Pacific Northwest, represented by Oregon and Washington, emerged as one of the seven winners, each receiving roughly $1 billion in Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs grant funding.

RNV transport operatorplans to replace fleet of diesel buses with hydrogen The Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr (RNV) transport operator in Ludwigshafen plans to eventually replace its fleet of diesel buses with hydrogen vehicles that will complement its current electric bus fleet. One particular model comes to mind for the RNV. The only vehicle to date with the hydrogen-based range extender idea, RNV has previously bought 40 Mercedes eCitaro G with fuel cell range extenders for usage in Heidelberg. Przyjaźń Coking Plant to house hydrogen separation research installation JSW KOKS SA and the Institute of Fuel and Energy Technology have agreed to construct and…

The Netherlands is making bold strides towards a more sustainable future by embracing green hydrogen as a key element of its decarbonization strategy. However, the road to achieving this vision is encountering a significant obstacle – the rapidly increasing costs associated with using the electricity grid. These rising expenses have the potential to undermine ambitious plans for large-scale green hydrogen production, a critical component in the nation’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
