The top manufacturer of fuel cell stacks, HyPoint, has been fully acquired by ZeroAvia. As a result of the acquisition, ZeroAvia now has access to HyPoint’s cutting-edge high-temperature fuel cell technology, which offers the potential to boost the power output and energy density of aviation fuel cell powertrains. ZeroAvia already has unmatched expertise in creating the complete powertrain necessary for hydrogen-electric flight. All 40 HyPoint team members will join ZeroAvia and work at both HyPoint’s Sandwich, Kent, and Kemble, Gloucestershire, R&D facilities. In order to advance ZeroAvia’s rotorcraft business applications and investigate alternative possibilities outside of the company’s primary focus…

The Gotland Hydrocat, the first large-scale, high-speed catamaran vessel powered by fossil-free hydrogen, has been conceptualized by Sweden’s Gotland Company (Gotlandsbolaget). Once the ship is in operation in 2030, the distance and travel time between Gotland and the mainland will both be significantly shorter. The ship is the second in the Horizon series from Gotlandsbolaget. The Gotland Horizon served as the centerpiece of the concept model for the Horizon series, which is based on fast passenger and freight ships and was introduced in 2021. Sweden’s first initiative for extensive, hydrogen-powered shipping of people and goods was the Gotland Horizon. To…

In order to reduce carbon emissions in a variety of transport use-cases, the UK Government has established a £20 million ($22.4 million) competition for business to harness the potential of hydrogen in new transportation projects in Tees Valley, UK. The Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub competition encourages bidders to explore the potential uses of hydrogen in order to develop a cleaner, more effective transportation industry. Innovate UK is organizing a competition where businesses and research teams will work together to figure out how to use hydrogen as a dependable fuel source. Large-scale refueling, guaranteeing buses and coaches can use hydrogen…

Lhyfe, a manufacturer of green and renewable hydrogen, will build a 200 MW renewable green hydrogen plant in Delfzijl, Netherlands. Delfzijl, which has a sizable industrial and chemical sector, is already a substantial consumer of hydrogen as a chemical feedstock. Future forecasts indicate a major increase in that demand. Lhyfe will be able to assist businesses in their decarbonization efforts by providing them with renewable green hydrogen using the electrolysis process and renewable electricity from the area. The Netherlands plans to build out a hydrogen backbone over the entire nation in an effort to become one of Europe’s leading nations…

Through its Center for Solar Energy Technologies, an International Center of Excellence funded by ANID, Fraunhofer Chile is actively engaged in the creation of a web platform project that enables a techno-economic assessment of the development of solar hydrogen projects in the country’s northern region. As a foundation to provide the industry with a useful alternative to evaluate its projects based on an applied R&D service model, developed by Fraunhofer Chile in collaboration with the business LIF Energy, this platform will be technically validated with clients and a marketing strategy will be implemented. The goal of this effort, which has…

Through the application of a technology, it is now possible to create valuable molecules from tree dregs and then use the electrons gained from this process to create “solar hydrogen.” It is seen as a potential commercial “green hydrogen” technology since it can manufacture hydrogen using solar power while also improving production efficiency. The research team at UNIST, which is headed by Professors Jeong-ki Ryu, Ji-wook Jang, and Seong-yeon Jang from the Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering, only breaks down lignocellulosic biomass into compounds with a high added value and then uses the electrons that are liberated in this…

Ancap, the state-owned oil and gas company of Uruguay, is getting ready to launch a series of offshore green hydrogen and wind tender rounds in 2023. Ancap’s ambitious ambition to build a maritime hydrogen production hub driven by its large offshore wind potential calls for businesses with experience in offshore wind, hydrogen, or deepwater oil and gas. Juan Tomasini, the company’s E&P chief, stated that rolling applications will be used for the tender rounds, which will open offers in two stages in May and November of the following year. The state-owned company has written a draft of the tender’s terms…

Maarten Wetselaar, the CEO of the oil business Cepsa, has urged the European Union (EU) to give green hydrogen regulation first priority when modernizing the continent’s energy infrastructure. This would improve security and energy independence. Wetselaar agrees that immediate action must be taken to “promote energy savings and supply assurance,” without ignoring the need for longer-term actions to hasten the adoption of new technologies. He emphasized that the high energy costs brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may favor alternative technologies, such as green hydrogen, in order for them to be competitive and enable the growth of new sectors…

The framework conditions for the future supply of green hydrogen to the Salzgitter steel facility in Hannover have been examined by MAN Energy Solutions and the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) and have been published. The study, which was ordered by Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter, looks into a number of issues, including how locally produced green hydrogen might enhance German supplies and its potential competitiveness with imports. According to the study’s estimations, local hydrogen can be profitable and even less expensive than imports starting in 2030 if used directly without additional conversion. While hydrogen imports from Tunisia,…

Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk recently inked an MOU to support the clean hydrogen industry in nuclear power with Hyosung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Engineering. This MOU was created to pioneer carbon neutrality, mass produce nuclear clean hydrogen, and demonstrate nuclear clean hydrogen, also known as the clean energy of the future. Hyosung Heavy Industries & Construction will build a hydrogen liquefaction plant, a trailer for liquid hydrogen storage and transport, a pipeline for liquid hydrogen supply, a liquid hydrogen charging station, and take part in the development of a national industrial complex for hydrogen production using nuclear power, all in accordance with…
