Hyster Company tests an HFC-powered container handler at Fenix Marine Services in the Port of Los Angeles. The Hyster H1050-1150XD-CH top-pick container handler is powered by two 45kw hydrogen fuel cells from Hyster-Yale Group subsidiary Nuvera. A 2018 California Climate Investments grant helped build the HFC-powered container handling. The HFC-powered top pick provides the zero emissions of a battery electric option with enough capacity to keep operators going and prevent the need to refuel or recharge mid-shift. Refueling the top pick with hydrogen filling should take 15 minutes and deliver eight to 10 hours of continuous operating time while producing…

A floating wind-to-hydrogen project off Aberdeen has been awarded front end engineering and design (FEED) work to Principle Power. Plans for Dolphyn, or Deepwater Offshore Local Production of HYdrogeN, created by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), call for the building of a demonstrator project that can generate green hydrogen from saltwater at scale utilizing floating offshore wind power. Based on Principle Power’s WindFloat technology, the project employs a modular design to connect electrolyser facilities and a wind turbine on a moored semi-submersible platform. ERM earlier stated that it planned to place the unit 15 km off Aberdeen and use a design…

HyAxiom and Shell have agreed to use a solid oxide fuel cell created by HyAxiom to power liquefied natural gas carrier. This will examine the technology’s capacity to reduce carbon emissions from maritime transport, a field that is crucial to trade and global economies but is regarded as difficult to regulate. A vessel powered by a HyAxiom-developed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) would be launched in 2025, according to the agreement between Shell, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), DNV, and Doosan Fuel Cell (DFCC). HyAxiom will design and develop the SOFC Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for long-range maritime demonstration,…

Cepsa and the Port of Rotterdam will create the first green hydrogen supply network between southern and northern Europe, connecting Rotterdam and Algeciras, two of Europe’s major ports. Through hydrogen carriers like ammonia or methanol, Cepsa intends to transport hydrogen produced at its San Roque Energy Park close to the Bay of Algeciras to the Port of Rotterdam. While the Port of Algeciras is the first in Spain, fourth in Europe, and a crucial commercial route between Europe and Asia, Rotterdam is the most significant energy port in Europe, handling 13% of the continent’s energy consumption. The Port Authority and…

The hydrogen plant of the Francisco I. Madero refinery, which Enrique Pea Nieto sold for $32.5 million to German business Linde in 2018, will be recovered by Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Pemex’s infrastructure was dismantled through a cooperation with Linde, who supplied hydrogen. Linde agreed to operate a 42-million-cubic-foot-per-day facility at the Francisco I. Madero Refinery. The state’s productive firm would provide the entire operational structure. Potential hydrogen suppliers to the Cadereyta and Madero refineries evaluated technical and economic bids at the end of 2017. Both operations might earn Pemex 134 million dollars directly. Pemex signed a 20-year agreement with…

Activities for the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems for heavy-duty applications have been started by Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corporation, Impact Clean Power Technology, and ITOCHU Plantech. By utilizing Toshiba ESS’s polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stack, which has exceptional durability and stability, the parties have researched the development of a hydrogen fuel cell system for buses based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the three parties that was reached last year. Polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell stacks from Toshiba ESS have already been delivered to Impact, who will now begin testing and verifying a hydrogen fuel cell…

At this month’s Bauma Munich, the components product division of Liebherr will exhibit two prototypes of its hydrogen engine for tomorrow’s building sites. Direct injection (DI) and port fuel injection are two separate hydrogen injection systems used by each prototype (PFI). Combustion engines won’t run on fossil diesel exclusively in the foreseeable future. By 2050, it will be necessary to switch to fuels derived from renewable energy sources. One of them is green hydrogen since it is a promising carbon-free fuel that burns within internal combustion engines without emitting any CO2 (ICE). Additionally, Liebherr’s proficiency in ICE development may hasten…

After signing a memorandum of understanding with BlueScope Steel in December 2021, Shell has decided to withdraw from the green hydrogen project. After evaluating its endeavors, the energy giant is leaving the New South Wales project. Shell is pulling out of the Australian green hydrogen project after thoroughly evaluating and sketching out all of its plans. The firms entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to explore and develop renewable H2 projects at the steelmaker’s Port Kembla Steelworks in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. The two businesses had agreed to look into setting up and running a 10 MW…

Provaris Energy has advanced its Tiwi Island green hydrogen (Tiwi H2) project on the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory by submitting an EPBC referral to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water of the Australian Government. The second phase of the Tiwi H2 environmental procedure is the EPBC submission to the Federal Government. The Northern Territory Government’s Environmental Protection Authority had received a referral filing for Tiwi H2 in June, and a decision is expected this month. The NT Government granted Tiwi H2 major project status in August, a designation given to initiatives with significance and…

Banks may soon classify loans for electric vehicles and renewable hydrogen under priority sector lending (PSL). According to a report in the Economic Times (ET), several banks have urged the move to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). According to the reports, banks allegedly advised the RBI that classifying these loans as priorities will assist close the “financing shortages” in these industries. Additionally, it will aid banks in achieving their PSL goals. Currently, banks are mandated to lend to priority industries for 40% of their total loan. Eight sectors currently qualify for loans using the PSL procedure. They consist of…
