According to a letter from French energy minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher to EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson, Brussels should likewise classify hydrogen produced from low-carbon energy sources like nuclear as “green.” By 2030, the European Union (EU) plans to have produced 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen and imported 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen as part of its REPowerEU programme. A letter written by Pannier-Runacher and cited by EURACTIV states, “the only important issue is the carbon content of the hydrogen produced and not the production vector.” She claims that low-carbon hydrogen is essential to the European Union’s (EU’s) ability…

During the first-ever India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable, an Indian team met with Singapore’s deputy prime minister, Lawerence Wong, to discuss investment opportunities in India’s green energy industries (ISMR). A roundtable discussion on renewable energy and green hydrogen in India was led by G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant and Niti Ayog CEO Parmeswaran Iyer. The delegates from both countries met in Singapore to discuss how they might better work together. To entice international investment in India’s renewable energy sector, the government is likely to propose green bonds and other novel types of financing. The two nations will explore the possibility of creating a…

Alternative energy is being sought out through the HyAfrica project, which is investigating the availability of natural hydrogen resources in numerous African countries. Almost one million Euros come from the European Union and the African Union’s long-term collaborative research and innovation collaboration in the field of renewable energies (LEAP-RE). HyAfrica is the world’s first worldwide research effort focused on harnessing the power of natural hydrogen. “Towards a next-generation renewable energy source — a natural hydrogen solution for power supply in Africa” is what HyAfrica stands for. This research is looking into the feasibility of using the hydrogen present in certain…

The Center for Technology Development of the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) in Cubillos del Sil (León) is looking for research and development projects that promote the development of green hydrogen and energy storage technologies. This initiative was launched by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO). The ministry claims that by doing so, it is able to open a line of communication with all parties interested in pursuing initiatives related to the full value chain of green hydrogen and energy storage.

TECO 2030 has introduced a new product concept for its containerized fuel cells, the TECO 2030 Power Barge. Batteries, power electronics, safety and automation systems, hydrogen storage, and a refueling solution are all part of the comprehensive package that is the TECO 2030 fuel cell modules. The idea provides a scalable, multi-megawatt approach to producing electricity for shore power using hydrogen. The concept has many advantages, including improved security, lower operating costs, less need for available land, greater adaptability, and no hazardous emissions. The plan is consistent with the European Commission’s proposal to allocate more than 5 billion Euros for…

Taxi Verts, a firm based in Brussels, just put into service the city’s first hydrogen-powered vehicle. Eoly-Energy, a firm working in the field of renewable energy, assisted the business in the launch of their prototype vehicle. Hydrogen taxis will be tested in a year-long trial program designed to evaluate the vehicles’ viability in dense metropolitan environments. When Taxi Vets debuts its prototype, it will be powered by hydrogen that has been manufactured entirely from renewable energy. In addition, the hydrogen taxi will have two drivers who have received instruction from Eoly on how to operate the vehicle and its hydrogen…

In preparation for the World Expo 2030 in Busan, SK E&S will move forward with a project in which it will collaborate with the government to deliver 1,000 hydrogen buses to the city.
