The French government has taken a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of cleaner, greener transportation technologies by simplifying retrofit regulations. In a move aimed at expanding the possibilities and broadening the scope of retrofits, hydrogen engines have received a green light, potentially transforming the landscape of the automotive industry.

CertifHy has recognized TÜV SÜD as certifying organization The non-governmental certification program CertifHy, which promotes certified proof of origin for hydrogen across Europe, has officially recognized TÜV SÜD as a certifying organization. TÜV SÜD has been a part of the CertifHy consortium since the beginning and has helped to build the program with its vast certification experience. The goal of CertifHyTM is to promote and enable the production, acquisition, and application of low-carbon, renewable, and non-renewable hydrogen. It has created the CertifHyTM non-governmental certification (NGC) program in Europe to aid in the expansion of the hydrogen industry by giving customers…

In an era where the demand for clean and sustainable energy sources is paramount, the integration of nuclear power and hydrogen production has emerged as a promising solution to boost profitability and transform the energy landscape.

Belgian company Dredging Environmental and Marine Engineering NV (DEME) is gearing up to invest a colossal $3 billion in a groundbreaking green hydrogen production project in Egypt. This ambitious project aims to serve the growing demands of European markets for clean hydrogen.

Dankook University, along with seven other distinguished institutions, has sealed an agreement to nurture the hydrogen industry ecosystem in South Chungcheong Province. This collaborative effort is not merely about fostering the hydrogen industry but also about developing talent in this critical field.

Duisburg, a city steeped in industrial history and once known for coal, is now emerging as a key player in the new industrial revolution – one driven not by fossil fuels but by green hydrogen. Alexander Klomparend, head of corporate communications at Duisburg Kontor, is unequivocal in his belief: “Hydrogen is the new coal.” The city’s unique attributes make it a potent candidate to lead this revolution.

Italy’s ambitious “Hydrogen Valleys” project, aimed at transforming the decommissioned Vallegrande coal power plant into a hydrogen hub, stands at a pivotal juncture. Enel Produzione, the energy giant leading the initiative, is yet to formally accept a substantial 13.72 million euro loan offered by the Liguria Region for the project. This hesitance by Enel has raised concerns about the future of the hydrogen venture.

Colombian Association of Industrialists (ANDI) and Naturgas have jointly launched Colombia’s very first hydrogen corridor project. This innovative endeavor, supported by nine prominent companies, aims to transform the way cargo is transported in a country where over 95% of goods are traditionally moved by road.

OQ Gas Networks (OQGN), a recently listed gas transportation company in the Sultanate, has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Belgian-based energy infrastructure group Fluxys. The collaboration seeks to explore and develop hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2) infrastructure projects in Oman, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s sustainable energy journey.

Toyota, a leading name in the automotive industry, is making a significant pivot. The Japanese automaker has decided to shift its focus in hydrogen fuel-cell technology development from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. The rationale behind this decision and its implications for the future of green transportation are worth exploring.
