As the world seeks sustainable solutions to combat climate change, the aviation industry has set its sights on a groundbreaking technology: hydrogen-powered flight. Meet “Lightning McClean,” one of the first airplanes to experience hydrogen-powered flight, owned by L.A. startup Universal Hydrogen.

The energy landscape is undergoing a transformative shift towards sustainable alternatives, and hydrogen is at the forefront of this revolution. As part of this green transition, gas distributor SGN has embarked on a groundbreaking project to trial hydrogen gas through a decommissioned pipeline in Scotland.

Sarawak is set to receive the world’s first hydrogen-powered autonomous rapid transit (ART) smart tram. Developed by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co Ltd, the tram utilizes a hydrogen energy power system, offering longer driving range, shorter refueling time, and enhanced environmental benefits.

As Aberdeen moves forward with its ambitious green hydrogen hub project, a political divide emerges between coalition partners in the Scottish government. The debate revolves around the involvement of oil and gas giants, BP and Shell, in the development of the hydrogen facility.

Jordan is taking bold steps towards a sustainable energy future, with plans to enact laws governing green hydrogen projects as part of its national strategy.

Provaris Energy, a pioneer in integrated green hydrogen projects, is making significant strides in advancing green hydrogen production and export supply projects in Australia and Norway.

Ford Trucks and Ballard Power Systems have joined forces to develop a hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle prototype. This groundbreaking partnership aims to advance the adoption of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) for long-distance heavy transport and contribute to sustainability goals.

China’s northern region of Inner Mongolia is spearheading a shift towards sustainable hydrogen production by taking decisive actions to regulate grey hydrogen, derived from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.

Unlocking the potential of green hydrogen as a clean energy carrier requires overcoming the challenges of cost-efficient transportation from distant production sites to energy-hungry regions. In a groundbreaking collaboration, the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) joins hands with German and Australian partners to bring green hydrogen from Australia to Germany.

As the aviation industry grapples with the urgent need to reduce its carbon footprint, a groundbreaking study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) unveils a promising solution – regional turboprops retrofitted with hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion.
