Doosan Fuel Cell is using PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology to expand its fuel cell offerings into new land-based mobility applications. Ballard Power Systems and Doosan’s fully owned North American subsidiary, HyAxiom, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles. The initial focus will be on FCEBs for the South Korean market, with further collaboration on other mobility markets being considered. Ballard’s core PEM technology will be used in the powertrains of Doosan Fuel Cell and HyAxiom’s hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This agreement brings together world-class companies to work on a turn-key solution for…

The Hydepoint is a joint offshore substation and hydrogen factory being developed by Moreld, Arendals Fossekompani, and Kongsberg. Hydepoint will help address a number of issues related to offshore wind power development and upscaling. “Hydepoint is a complete solution for receiving, converting, and transmitting the full energy potential from offshore wind farms, with reduced dependence on the onshore power grid. Placed in the ocean, close to wind farms, Hydepoint can convert all or part of the energy into hydrogen,” explains Morten Henriksen, Executive Vice President at Arendals Fossekompani. There is a growing demand for hydrogen made from renewable energy sources.…

The Hon Angus Taylor MP, Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, announced that the Port of Newcastle Green Hydrogen Hub Project will receive $41 million in funding, giving it the vote of confidence. The project is a joint venture between Macquarie Capital and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, and an ARENA-funded feasibility study is currently underway. The project is being developed with a minimum 40MW electrolyser in phase one, with the potential to grow to a capacity of over 1 GW over time. The project has been working with a variety of project partners to develop a broad range of…

Aviation H2 has chosen the use of liquid ammonia in turbofan combustion as the best route to carbon-free flight after a three-month feasibility study, and will soon begin modifying turbofan engines to test and prove the concept. The company claims that the results of their studies were very positive after they launched a capital raise. According to their research, converting a Falcon 50 to Liquid Ammonia Turbofan Combustion is the most efficient and commercially viable option for creating a hydrogen-powered plane. The company’s team of world-renowned engineers claims they now have a clear path to flying Australia’s first hydrogen-fueled plane…

The University of Queensland (UQ) is working on the world’s first Future Lab for Green Hydrogen with a global consortium of sustainable energy experts. The Future Lab, led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), one of UQ’s flagship institutional partners, aims to lay the groundwork for a future hydrogen-based circular economy. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has provided a multi-million-euro grant to the Lab in order to attract world-class scientists, including Professor Peta Ashworth OAM, a globally recognized sustainable energy expert. Professor Ashworth, who also chairs Queensland’s new Hydrogen Taskforce, said the collaboration demonstrates a growing…

Edmonton International Airport (EIA) has pledged to use its ecosystem and ESG leadership role to become a major driver of hydrogen fuel demand, as well as to open the airport as a new home for piloting emerging hydrogen technologies. EIA is announcing a number of new agreements with multi-national and Canadian businesses. Agreements with global giants like Mitsui and Toyota, as well as multiple Canadian and Alberta companies and a Japanese government investment agency, are among them. These agreements, when combined, will position EIA as a major driver of hydrogen fuel demand and support the expansion of the Edmonton Hydrogen…

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between Green Hydrogen International (GHI) and Hydrogen Optimized for the proposed development of a large electrolyzer manufacturing facility in Texas. GHI’s planned Hydrogen City project, a previously announced 60 gigawatt (GW) green hydrogen production and salt cavern storage hub to be built in South Texas, will use the factory to produce Hydrogen Optimized’s RuggedCell water electrolyzers. The proposed RuggedCell manufacturing facility will be constructed in stages, with a goal of producing 5 GW of electrolyzers per year. GHI plans to buy the entire output of the facility for the first ten years…

TGS, a Vietnamese renewable energy project development and services firm, has chosen ECONNECT Energy, a Norwegian technology firm, to export green ammonia from Tra Vinh Plant. ECONNECT Energy will first conduct a pre-FEED study before bidding on an EPC contract to fabricate and install a jettyless IQuay to transport green ammonia from the onshore plant to ammonia storage vessels for export. In 2017, ECONNECT Energy pioneered the first “jettyless” LNG transfer to an onshore terminal in the world, and the company continues to provide jettyless marine-based technology for a variety of energy transfer and bunkering applications. Green hydrogen and ammonia…

Turkmenistan’s oil and gas university has established a Hydrogen Energy Center. The Hydrogen Energy Center, which opened almost two months ago on the campus of the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International University of Oil and Gas, is now operational. The Center’s main task is to train high-level specialists and to establish international scientific cooperation in this field, as well as to conduct research, develop, and implement innovative scientific and educational programs in order to establish and develop the hydrogen energy industry in Turkmenistan. The Center’s experts will develop and make proposals for the introduction of advanced innovative technologies for the production of…

The Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, part of METI, has contracted the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to conduct its Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project Utilizing Very High Temperature, and has begun a program to produce hydrogen using a High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor as of this fiscal year (HTTR). Under this program, a newly constructed hydrogen production plant will be connected to a JAEA-owned HTTR with the goal of demonstrating hydrogen production technology using the HTTR’s high temperature heat. The licensing procedure, equipment modifications, and testing, as well as the determination of specific renovations…
