RWE will be present in the Hydrogen Zone at the Labour and Conservative party conferences. The Hydrogen Zone is an inter-sectoral partnership whose members collectively convey the story of the expanding hydrogen economy in the United Kingdom. British hydrogen technology, such as a double-decker bus, hydrogen boiler, and electrolyser, will be on display in the Hydrogen Zone, with models and visual representations of the country’s most innovative hydrogen initiatives. Hydrogen is investigated in The Zone for its potential to release green jobs of the future, stimulate private investment and economic growth, fortify energy security, and aid the United Kingdom in…

Rheinmetall displayed its recently developed and pilot-phase mobile green hydrogen production and storage device at the Africa Aerospace and Defense Expo. Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM), a South African affiliate of the Rheinmetall Group, offers a complete and modular solution for supplying power to civil, industrial, expedition, and outdoor infrastructure. The platform’s solar charge controllers and as many as 112 solar panels are housed in a shipping container, making it suitable for usage in undeveloped areas without the need for an additional power source. Roughly a year has gone into the development of Rheinmetall’s pilot platform, which features a 4 kW…

The Clean Energy demonstration challenge, spearheaded by the United States, has been granted €28 billion by the European Commission to aid in the commercialization of new technologies and speed up the energy transition. As part of a larger push to reach net zero emissions by 2050, US Vice President Joe Biden launched the clean energy challenge in June, promising $90 billion in public investment from 2022 to 2026. Funding from the EU is provided through the Horizon Europe research program, the Innovation Fund, and InvestEU. Industries that have a hard time transitioning away from fossil fuels include steel production; the…

Air Liquide and Toyota France are teaming up to introduce hydrogen mobility at Paris’s Nuit Blanche 2022. Nuit Blanche will return to Paris for its 21st iteration on October 1, 2022.To be more specific, guests can take advantage of complimentary shuttles between the Charléty Stadium, the Town Hall, and La Villette. You’ll be exploring some famous landmarks in a brand-new Toyota Mirai that runs on Air Liquide’s zero-emission hydrogen fuel. While sales of electric cars have been on the rise, hydrogen-powered vehicles have not kept pace. Some studies, however, have shown its ecological efficacy. Fuel cells provide cars more freedom…

Startup France Hopium plans to develop and produce its hydrogen sedan Machina in Normandy. The Vernon facility will open in 2024. The new Hopium site might employ 1,500 people. The 85-hectare site in Vernon, an hour north of Paris, will include 20,000-vehicle-per-year assembly lines and an R&D center. The Machina is a motorsport-inspired hydrogen-powered automobile. The startup unveiled its first driveable prototype in June 2021. At the time, it was already planned to mass-produce the Machina. Hopium’s website lists 500 hp (370 kW) and 230 km/h as first critical data for its platform. With one tank of petrol, the vehicle…

Hydrogen Insights 2022, published by the Hydrogen Council, explains why the world’s economy need hydrogen investment and development now more than ever. As a result, it is more important than ever to put money into fully formed hydrogen initiatives. Our economies require clean [renewable] hydrogen, and action is needed to convert proposals into actual deployment,” the report stated, citing the rebound of carbon emissions to above pre-COVID levels, the invasion of Ukraine, and growing concerns around energy security as a result of the war in Europe. According to the research, even while funding for hydrogen projects is increasing at a…

Europe has nuclear tensions. Because the EU focuses on this low-carbon technology’s hydrogen role. Berlin wants to link nuclear with hydrocarbons despite its negligible climate impact. He won’t label nuclear-produced hydrogen “green.” After Fukushima, Germany decided to phase out nuclear power more than a decade ago. 100% renewable energy by 2030, up from 40%. France wants to generate “green” H2 using its low-carbon nuclear reactor mix. Agnès Pannier-Runacher wants hydro, wind, photovoltaic, and uranium fission included. Almost 96% of Europe’s energy is generated by steam reforming the methane molecule (CH4) in gas, which generates 9 to 10 kg of CO2…

Abengoa Innovation has completed commissioning and FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests) of the Grasshopper project’s demonstration plant, which uses hydrogen fuel cells to produce sustainable energy. The final milestone was the relocation of this pilot plant from Abengoa Innovation’s test facilities in Seville, where commissioning, start-up, and FAT testing were accomplished, to the Netherlands, where final testing will take place. In its final site, chlor-alkali plant surplus hydrogen will be used. Abenewco, which now holds the major assets of Abengoa SA after its liquidation, reports that the pilot plant was transferred by land. At its final destination, SAT or Site Acceptance…

For the purpose of creating a green hydrogen project in Canada, Charbone inked an MOU with the Port of Baie-Comeau and the City of Baie-Comeau. The project entails the installation of Charbone’s green hydrogen generation and distribution systems with an initial capacity of at least 0.5 MW in the Baie- Comeau industrial port zone. The City also has its own electrical distribution network, which will make it easier to incorporate a modular plant with the potential for capacity increase and export outside the region. The parties expect the Final Agreement to place primary emphasis on the development of a regional…

First shown outside of Poland, Polish Pesa’s H2 hydrogen-powered shunting locomotive made its international debut at InnoTrans. The locomotive can run for 15 hours without needing to refuel, and it has a 650kW power output. The European Union approval procedure has begun. Pesa and Polish fuel refiner Orlen inked a collaboration agreement during the event’s presentation ceremony, allowing the locomotive to be offered with a hydrogen refueling station. Pesa can construct three hydrogen locomotives annually at now, but this number might be increased to satisfy demand. It will take about two years to manufacture one car.
